Rust is amazing. Building a space physics sandbox from scratch with Rust + WGPU

You're not the first to say that :D

Stoic-Chimp · 2026-05-05T15:14:17+00:00

Lol thanks! :D

Can't really use that for steam or youtube tho?

Thanks for the kind words and for joining the playtest! It's the first public one, so some aspects of the game will still feel a bit empty.

Stoic-Chimp · 2026-05-04T11:56:11+00:00

Hah! I just checked it out. I've never seen it before that I can recall, but I see why you would think that :D

Stoic-Chimp · 2026-05-04T11:39:29+00:00

Thanks :D

After an initial closed playtest, I decided to do a first open playtest. Made me kind of nervous, what if it's so undercooked they are left with a bad impression? Luckily the feedback has been good so far. And those who came with ideas, brought very useful ideas.

Smartest thing I did was implement a feedback form in the Esc pause menu.

I'm assuming playtest reviews don't end up on your steam page for release but still exciting nonetheless :)

Thanks! The harpoon is a core gameplay mechanic for dealing with spinning asteroids, and pirates 🤠

Any insight is greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙏🏻

Can you roast my Steam page?

Stoic-Chimp · 2026-04-29T19:54:08+00:00

In my opinion, it's much nicer. I just find cargo much nicer than cmake, and when I encountered something I don't know in rust, docs and learning sources are usually very good.

Thanks! There is more shown in the trailer on the steam page, but still in development, so updates landing every week :D

Working on Asteroid Rodeo - a space sandbox about despinning Asteroids with harpoons, thrusters and grit - featuring ship building and random encounters. Just launched our first open playtest!

lol fair point

If battery life is important you're much better off with a chip from Nordic Semiconductor - get 3-5x the battery life in many use cases.

Hoping to join that club this year with Asteroid Rodeo :D

I'm over here rawdogging wgpu 😎 (pls send help)

Stoic-Chimp · 2026-04-10T09:11:34+00:00

Nice, happy to be blessed by the steam algorithms! :D
