Welcome to This week in Game Engines! This is a recurrent blog post on gamedev news, articles, and related tech development content from the week before.
This format of weekly news was greatly inspired by This week in Rust. Most of the content is automatically added to the post via official RSS feeds from Game Engines websites, and miscellaneous gamedev content is hand-picked from suggestions and news aggregators such as hackernews, lobste.rs and gamedev.city.
The main protagonists this week are Unity v6.1 release with improvements on the URP renderer and better build automation and exporting tools, and Bevy v0.16 with improvements on its renderer too, along with other new ECS shinnies! There is also a great article from the unreleased game Dead Money developers about their migration from Bevy to Unity, with great insights on both game engines.
