- Write a short overview:
  - Use provided links as a starting point.
  - Try to maintain a consistent style with the rest of the newsletter and run markdownlint, please.
  - Insert line breaks ([softbreak](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.29/#soft-line-breaks)) at 80 chars, please.
  - DM me on Discord or Telegram if there're any questions.
- Send a PR *to the `source` branch* (example: #336)

The deadline for all section PRs is (**TODO**: ???).

------

⚠️ [It was decided to try a shorter and more limited section format](https://github.com/rust-gamedev/rust-gamedev.github.io/issues/454): ⚠️

- Only one image (<300kb) or GIF (<2.5mb) before the text. With an optional caption and a mandatory alt text.
- All the (rendered) text should be under 1000 characters (including spaces and punctuation) and under 6 paragraphs (without any subsections, etc).
- No bold/italic/etc formatting - only links and one plain list without nesting per section.
- Third-person perspective.
- 80 chars per MD line and no other markdownlint warnings on CI.
- Only the following simple templates are allowed:

  <details>
    <summary>See the templates</summary>

    For games/apps/libs:

    ```md
    # [Gamename]

    ![alt text](img)
    _optional image label_

    [Gamename] ([GitHub], [Discord], [Twitter]) by [@nickname]
    is ... {short project description in one sentence}.

    {An overview of the recent updates with links to more details}.

    _Discussions: [/r/rust_gamedev](link), [Twiter](link), [etc](link)_

    {md links block}
    ```

    For articles/videos/etc:

    ```md
