...for gameplay has been achieved.
My voxel engine (written in Rust using the Bevy game engine), has finally a core gameplay loop implemented!

Whilst I've previously only programmed voxel engine technologies like
hot reloadable rust code, ambient occlusion, block texturing, mesh generation, multithreading etc... I'm now shifting focus to gameplay development.

In this devlog, I go into detail how I implement game AI and spells.
The AI library I'm using is a Bevy plugin called big-brain. The spell system is completely self made, which I might release in the future once it's stable.
