## Game Updates

### [vange-rs][vange-repo]

![vangers-shadow](https://gfx-rs.github.io/img/vangers-shadows.png)

Vangers got real-time shadows!
See [video on /r/rust_gamedev][vangers-shadow-video] and technical description on the [Hybrid Shadows][vangers-shadow-blog] post of the blog.

Another exciting development - the new bruteforce rendering technique allowing to shift the camera behind the mechos as in 3rd person view.
See [video on /r/rust_gamedev][vangers-bars-video] and technical description on the [Bar Painting][vangers-bars-blog] post of the blog.
