Bevy Roadmap

Here is the current list of planned features. All items are sorted in approximate priority order, but actual implementation order will vary based on individual interest and/or funding.

• UI Framework
  • Text
  • Styling
• Rendering
  • Textures
  • Physically based rendering
  • Skeletal animation
  • Add runtime type safety to uniform bindings (and maybe compile time)
  • Inject layout set/bindings into shader source so they don't need to be defined in-shader. Specify set / binding indices in resource providers?
  • Pull as much logic as possible from wgpu_renderer into a "render orchestrator" struct/trait
  • Separate original/uncompiled/no_defs PipelineDescriptor from compiled PipelineDescriptor conceptually
  • Try to make Renderer a resource + system
• Docs
  • Add doc comments to code
  • Add tutorials
  • Add feature docs
  • Add "template" projects
  • Add #![deny(warnings, missing_docs)] to ensure future contributions meet style/doc standards
• ECS
  • Remove as many references to Resources as possible in favor of resolved resource types
  • Consider adding Renderer and World to Resources
• Error Handling
  • Custom error type?
  • Remove as many panics / unwraps as possible
• Input
  • Keyboard and mouse events
  • Gamepad events
• Assets
  • Load GLTF files
• Scene
  • Define scene format
  • Load scenes from files (likely RON)
• Plugins
  • Live plugin reloading
• Editor
  • Editor <-> game communication protocol
  • Build UI using bevy UI framework
  • Consider supporting embedding parts of the editor directly into games
• Physics
  • High level physics data types
  • Integrate with nphysics
• Platform Support
  • Android
  • iOS
  • Web
