Diving into the deep end with Rust/C# hybrid in game project
summary
A commercial VR multiplayer action game uses a shared Rust crate for core logic and Unity/C# for rendering and input, connecting via platform shared libraries (DLL/SO) and UDP to an authoritative server. Rust code runs physics (using rapier physics), rollback timelines, background threads and Prometheus metrics, delivers fewer runtime crashes than C# and predictable frame-safe performance on the Meta Quest. The hybrid approach works but raises integration and learning-curve tradeoffs.
