This is likely the first gamedev project written entirely in Rust and Vulkan to achieve significant financial success on Steam.

I'm genuinely proud of the authors — they've set an inspiring example and given us hope for a bright future where the Rust ecosystem serves as a foundation for unique and creative game development projects.

The Gnorp Apologue (mentioned in another thread here) was also notably written in Rust. https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/1473350?emclan=10358...
Lovely game, would recommend.

I play it in the background when chatting with friends on weekly game nights!

Beat me to it. There's some more title, but honestly they're not all that memorable :'). Gnorp is worth the money though!
It'll be interesting to see if its success leads to it being ported to consoles. To my knowledge Rust has yet to ship in a console game, obviously there's a number of roadblocks to making that happen but the biggest one is that Sony apparently has a strict approval process for new languages/compilers to be used on their platforms.
Yes. It's a good success story. And a cute little game.
