[Arsenal] is the concept for a 2D and 3D game engine that is fully integrated

with [Blender] and built on a Rust core. The engine will be built around an

entity component system ( probably [Shipyard] ) for its performance and game

design advantages. The vision of Arsenal is to build an Open Source game engine

that is suitable for games of any scale and that is easily approachable by a

wide audience of both complete beginners and seasoned experts.

Arsenal currently has a [POC][ars_poc] working, but there is no support for

adding custom game logic. The next major step for Arsenal is to get initial

[scripting support][ship_script_support] in Shipyard. The scripting plan for

Arsenal borrows heavily from the [Amethyst scripting RFC][amethyst_scrpt_rfc]

with the first target scripting language being Python. Other languages that are

candidates for being added later are be [Mun], Lua, and maybe other languages

written in Rust such as [Gluon].

More information on the Arsenal development direction can be found in the latest

Arsenal development [blog post][arsenal_update].

[Katharos Technology][ktech] has gone live on [GitHub Sponsors][ghs_ktech] as a

means to fund development of the development of the [Arsenal] game engine and

supporting Rust gamedev libraries and tools such as [GFX], and [WGPU].
