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.

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.
