Indie developers building games in Rust swap code, questions and lessons on this server.
Rust gives game developers speed without a garbage collector pausing the frame, and this server exists for the people who want to make that trade. Rust GameDev is a Discord community for programming, gamedev and indie projects, all through the Rust language.
Why Rust for games?
The language catches many memory mistakes before your game ever runs, which helps when a crash would cost you a playtest. The learning curve is real, though, and that's where a community earns its keep. Someone has hit the same borrow checker error you're staring at.
Bring your prototype, your engine questions or an idea you haven't started yet. Whether you're comparing crates or debugging a stubborn lifetime error, you'll find people who know the terrain. Indie developers often work alone, and a server like this lets you compare notes.
