So I'm currently looking to move my game design project(s) over to Rust because I do truly like the language (albeit being frustrated when I tried using it the last time, but I think that was because I let things get complicated without blackboxing them). However, I'm looking for a good framework or engine before diving in with OpenGL/Vulkan and getting my hands dirty with that system (which is what I was using initially).

For the record, one of my games is going to be in the style of Octopath Traveler and the other I'm looking at either doing the same or doing a voxel game. Game 1 is a JRPG and Game 2 is gonna be a combo Tactics/Puzzle game.

I've bounced back and forth a bit with both game engines in Rust but also just implementations for this project in general (Game 1, that is). I've moved from C to C++ to Unreal Engine to Rust back to C, then to C++ then now back to Rust again. Within Rust specifically, like I said, I did use I believe it was glium and egui to for my OpenGL calls and GUI respectively, but this time around, I've looked at specifically Bevy and Fyrox, but I'm not too settled on either. Fyrox seems like a lot to deal with for the projects I'm going for (which is one of the reasons I switched off of Unreal Engine), but Bevy is a little bit difficult to get a handle on with my project (Game 1).

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to go about this? Thanks in advance!
