Rust game dev - a post mortem - (game will be available for free on Steam!)

Hi there!

Nothing fancy here, but a friend and me wrote a little game (RainyCloud) in Rust for practice!

After developing on and off for roughly three years the game will finally come out this November!

​

Here is a little trailer of the game

There were some ups and downs during the development so I felt so free to write a post mortem:

The TL;DR:

\- game design is really hard

\- our time estimate for the project was a bit ... optimistic ...

\- Rust as a game dev language is really nice! (it actually feels like working with a language not against it)

​

If you are interested feel free to check the game out on Steam, it will be available for free!
