The Future of Bevy

[purevessel450]

What is the planned roadmap for Bevy's future?
Is the plan for Bevy to become a full-fledged game engine like Unity or Godot?
Given the project's current architecture, Bevy functions more like a framework.
Furthermore, is Bevy intended to be a minimalist game engine like Godot, or is the plan for it to become an all-in-one development environment like Game Maker?

To quote cart:

The Bevy Project Goals Board is our closest equivalent. We don't plan things out on a timeline, but this shows where our current (and near-term) focus is.

As for the rest of your questions, the long-term vision is to build Bevy into a full-fledged game engine with tools (like level editors and GUI-based testing and debugging) for every member of a game dev team, not just artists. That said, we're looking to do things somewhat differently:

• straightforward Rust for gameplay logic, supplemented with data-driven configuration
• no scripting
• no fixed, monolithic editor: designed for extensability from the start, with the idea that each team will pick and choose the tools they want, and incorporate their own as they build them

Definitely not planning to be something like Game Maker or RPGMaker, which are closer to a low-code framework for making games :)
