Why can’t you use std for game dev?

(I speak as a hobbyist who watches a lot of game dev talks and tinkers with stuff in his garage but who doesn’t work in the AAA space or anything like that)

The short answer is that you can use std for some game dev, but not all of it.

The long answer is that among the many ways to break down and categorize games there's one way to split things that I'll focus on for the moment. While attempting to be charitable to everyone involved, we'll call it "developing a game using an engine" vs "developing a game engine".

If you are developing a game using an engine then the non-rust version of that story is gonna be Unity (C#) or Game Maker (Pythonic scripting lang?) or RPG Maker (Ruby?) or things like that. The rust version of that story is things like Piston or GGEZ. Might be 2d, might be 3d, either way it probably doesn't push the hardware to its limits with complex physics and other background computation. There are plenty of amazing games developed this way, I'm

General Rules and Houserules

• Books: Core (4e or 4ea) + Arsenal + Augmentation + Street Magic
• Matrix: Replace all previous Matrix rules with The Ends of The Matrix rules instead.
  • However, there are to be No Player Technomancers. The game is set very early in 2070, before the Emergence happens, so Technomancers are still just a spooky/weird rumor at this point. OOC: Player Technomancers will probably be allowed later on, but I just plain don't want to deal with that

Chaos Sundown Character Creation

Here's some character creation rules for an Origin Story After Sundown game.

The year is 199X, and seems like there might be monsters out there at night.

Prelude to Skeletons

"Now, listen carefully, for what I'm about to tell you really happened..."

Long ago, even before the era of Marduk, when wielders of dark magic could walk the earth as they pleased and prey upon all they found, there was a particular warlock in the far north of the world who ravaged the lands to carve out a space of his own. The warlock's true name has been lost to time, but his signature magic was a vile blast that melted away the flesh, leaving only the bones behind. Those killed by the skeleton lord's magic would instantly become
