[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
325+
Fortress and Cube World.
326+
327+
In July, Veloren reached its 1000th merge! Lots of work has been done towards
328+
the 0.7 release. The release date has been pushed from the beginning of August
329+
to mid-August. A loot table system was added to item drops. Lots of work has
330+
been done on animations and quadrupeds. Networking has switched to a new
331+
system. Significant improvements have been made to pathfinding system to improve
332+
fast quadruped movement. Particle systems are being implemented and optimized. A
333+
crafting GUI has been added. Translations have stabalized significantly, and
334+
there is a framework for translators to know what needs to be done.
