I remember reading about the conceptualizing of a Bevy editor of some kind a while ago. I recently tried to find information about its progress but came up empty. What's the current status of the game editor for Bevy?
We've been peeling back the layers of the "editor onion" for awhile now. We've been focused on "foundational engine systems" since Bevy first released. But from here on out, our focus will be shifting. My next big project is "asset preprocessing", which is an important part of editor workflows. Other prominent Bevy developers have started to shift their focus toward preparing Bevy UI for editor scenarios.
I would like to break ground on the editor by the end of the year and have some sort of scene editor MVP proved out. This is ambitious, but I think it is possible given where we are at now. It will be awhile before we have a final editor workflow sorted out, but this will be an open, iterative process that the community will be able to follow along with as it develops.
Mobile is in a pretty good spot at this point: iOS support is pretty stable now. People have already started publishing Bevy iOS apps to the Apple App Store: https://noumenal.app.
Android is close, but not quite there yet. As of this release, Android builds kind of work again. You can build and deploy android apps, but they lose their renderer context if you suspend or resume the app. Audio also doesn't work yet :)
It is something we've been building toward for awhile. We've been focused on core systems like the renderer and ecs for awhile now, but we're finally at the point where we can start moving up the stack.
We will be focusing on scenes, asset workflows, ui, and the editor from here on out (with scenes, asset workflows, and UI being the focus for the next release).
