+
+[Untitled Pixel Wizards Game][pixel-wizards] is a local-multiplayer [Noita]-like platformer about
+killing baddies using spells powered by pixel physics. This month was focused on juicing up said baddies:
+
+- [Pew Pew Pew][pixel-wizards-update-1]: baddies learned to shoot at players.
+- [Hot Pursuit][pixel-wizards-update-2]: baddies also learned to chase players! (They're real smart.)
+- [Status Update][pixel-wizards-update-3]: physically-simulated pixels learn to burn & poison players & baddies.
+- [Ragdolls][pixel-wizards-update-4]: corpses of dead baddies learn to tumble around all realistic-like.
+- [Fiddling with Fire][pixel-wizards-update-5]: the fire mechanic figures out how to better burn baddies.

 ## Engine Updates
 
+### [godot-rust]

+
+godot-rust ([GitHub][gd-github], [Discord][gd-discord], [Mastodon][gd-mastodon], [Twitter][gd-twitter]) by [@Bromeon]
+provides Rust bindings for the [Godot engine](https://godotengine.org/).
+
+After quite a bit of development on GitHub, the Godot 4 bindings are now available on [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/godot) -- 
+you can immediately get started using 
+`cargo add godot`. Furthermore, the GDExtension API level can now be specified with a Cargo feature, e.g. `api-4-1`.
+
+The `ScriptInstance` API has matured a lot over the past months. This feature allows users to write Godot scripts in Rust, which can be
+attached to nodes (just like GDScript). Scripts allow for quickly attaching/detaching functionality in a scene.
+
+The overall API has seen several consistency improvements: reorganized modules, `self`/`&self` receivers on geometric types,
+easier element access for `Array`/`Dictionary`/`Packed*Array`. The library has also benefited from Rust's
+[`#[diagnostic::on_unimplemented]`][gd-diagnostic] to improve user-facing error messages.

+[egui_ratatui][egui_ratatui] by [gold-silver-copper][gold] is an [egui][egui] widget that is also a [ratatui][ratatui] backend. 
+It allows you to create Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) inside egui.
+You can try out the [web demo][erat_web] to see it in action.
+
+The current release is the product of months of iteration, and is now "stable".
+It is Wasm compatible and engine agnostic: use it in Bevy, *Quad, eframe, pixels, etc.
+
+`egui_ratatui` is currently being used for the development of a game and 
+educational software at a startup with no issues so far.
