Quoting: STiATWhat UI library are they going with would be interesting. Rust certainly is a good choice, I do not know of a lot of UI libraries or bindings which are reall well maintained at the moment.

gtk-rs seems to be further along (and more official) than the available Qt bindings, but I couldn't say if it's quite production ready yet. That's no reason not to use either in an open source project of course. Nothing better to push these bindings along than actual projects using them.

Quoting: ljrkA bit weird that they showcase RSA, most people (should) have moved to elliptic curves by now.

EC is a dead end with the emergence of quantum computing. The smaller keys make it significantly faster but also more vulnerable. NIST has been working on Post Quantum Cryptography standards for 5 years or more.

Be that as it may, EC isn't more vulnerable than the commonly available alternatives for most real world purposes for a good while yet. I doubt game devs have to worry about a time when quantum computing is available to your garden-variety hacker.

Quoting: ljrkBut creating new RSA keys for use a game engine? I don't see the point for that.

One use case for that is working with third-party APIs or encryption methods that use RSA keys. And sometimes the use case is relatively trivial and there's not much incentive to care about the implementation.

Quoting: 14So, I definitely agree that RSA support is a requirement. Still, it should not be in the spotlight. It should be pushed to the shadows.

I get your point, but this is a video about new features in this Godot version, and RSA support in the crypto module is one of these features. I don't feel like it gives the impression that they're promoting the use of RSA. They're just announcing the availability of a requested feature.

Why would you assume so? Just check the SSL certificates of some of the websites you frequent. I bet only some of them have switched over to ECC certs. And that's a use case where switching is relatively painless.

There's so much tech and hardware making use of RSA that we won't be getting rid of it anytime soon. And in many cases there's no real hurry to do so. RSA has known vulnerabilities but those can often be guarded against or need an absurd amount of processing power (or a quantum computer) to exploit. Performance isn't always a big concern either.

Quoting: GuestSeems like I'm getting old.

I could tell by your name... :-D

Hey, the DVD format came on the market only about 25 years ago. Old for tech, but still pretty young for a human.

Now maybe if his name was LaserDisc... :)

Quoting: EikeI got no idea why I didn't have this on follow and/or wish list yet! Thanks!

Ended up backing it. :)

Ditto.

Quoting: nebadon2025How did you get MangoHud working with this game, and can you be more specific how you launched the game with Zink, finding documentation on how to use it has been difficult, thanks!

That image seems to be lifted directly from the original blog post.

I hope they won't forget to release the update on Itch as well.

Quoting: LightkeyApropos Gamepads, that was an unfortunate choice. I mean not the change to Not Listed but capping it at ten bars and showing the rest as Others when there are currently only ten models to choose from anyway. Why not just show them all?

More will likely be added, so it's going to stay as-is there. For starters, I've been looking to expand on Logitech to list actual models making it more useful.

If you're doing this, maybe you'd consider adding 8BitDo to the list as well? I'm kind of curious whether I'm the only one in this community with one of their gamepads. I've got the SN30 Pro+, but looking at buying the Pro 2 as soon as they're back in stock locally.

Quoting: tuubiBecause I think it matters. I often vote with my wallet.

I can respect that! I did the same, before Proton. Man I have so many barely played indies in my library from that period. :D

Quoting: tuubiBesides, even with that self-imposed "limitation", I can barely keep my wishlist below a couple of hundred titles at any given time.

If smaller indie games is your thing then strictly speaking you hardly need Steam Play at all? That's my impression.

No, I don't need Steam Play. I wouldn't say smaller indies are "my thing" though. I will buy bigger budget games if they interest me and if they support my platform, just like I've done in the past.
