Diving into the deep end with Rust/C# hybrid in game project by Martin Vilcans

Martin Vilcans shares lessons learned from combining Rust with C# and the Unity game engine for a multiplayer VR game.

The Rust language lets you create software that is just as fast as if you wrote it in C or C++, just as safe as Java or C# and more robust than anything. Sounds like the perfect language for games! (Well, except for the robustness thing - what would games be without the occasional crash?) But what if your games studio is used to working with other tools? How do you start using Rust without changing everything? Can you combine the power of Rust with the familiarity of C# and the Unity game engine? At Resolution Games we set out to try just that in a physics based multiplayer action game. This talk is about what we learned.
