+The [Rustacean Station][rustacean-station] is a podcast about the Rust language.
+
+In November, [Herbert Wolverson][herbert-wolverson] [was
+interviewed][rustacean-station-48] about game development in Rust. In this
+episode, lots is discussed about existing game development engines, and how Rust
+is breaking into this space with engines like Bevy, Amethyst, and RG3D. There is
+also a discussion on the Entity Component System paradigm in comparison to
+Object Oriented Programming.

+
+[Solid Editor][solid] is [Solid Engine][solid-engine]'s custom built
+voxel graphics editor.
+It is designed to be a key part of the engine's asset pipeline,
+enabling creation of game-ready voxel graphics assets.
+Since the engine part is pretty far from being done, the author decided
+to release this editor as a standalone application.
+
+> Besides being natively compatible with Solid Engine, the editor sports
+> some generally interesting and unique features.
+>
+> - True WYSIWYG editing. The editor scene is rendered using Solid Engine's
+>   path tracer in real time, yielding realistic lighting while editing.
+> - The possibility to edit voxels directly in 3D, by using any
+>   brightly colored ball as a 3D pointing device.
+>   Read more about the [Ball Pointer][solid-ball].
+> - A novel approach to editor tools.
+>   Instead of many different tools with overlapping functionality
+>   (e.g. "draw square" vs. "select square", or "bucket fill" vs. "magic wand")
+>   there is only one, a versatile Selection tool.
+>   Different effects can be applied to the selected voxels,
+>   producing the same results as regular editor tools.
+>   Combined with real-time effect preview, the user experience is very similar
+>   to that of classic graphics editors, with the added benefit
+>   of being able to tweak every edit before applying it.
