Veloren is a fully open-source multiplayer voxel RPG. It is inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.

Here are some of the changes in this 0.15:

  • Our first world boss, the ‘frost giga’: seek him out if you dare!
  • A new dungeon: Adlet caves
  • Airships can now be used by players
  • Enemy loot is now shared between players
  • A reputation system: if you commit crimes, NPCs will remember it!
  • Improved AI: NPCs will talk to players and each other about events in the world
  • Much richer world simulation: NPCs will migrate and pass on rumours
  • You can now choose your character’s starting town
  • A durability and repair system
  • Improved accessibility, performance, bug fixes, and much, much more!

    Looks awesome! Cube world was so awesome and exciting for a month or two until I realized that was it and it was never going to get better. Super excited to try something similar, but without ghost devs.

      Even better: Veloren is fully open source and you can contribute to its development.

      The Cube World dev has posted a couple of news for an upcoming update (basically going back to what the Alpha was, new engine and new things), altough nobody knows when/if it will be released, but it sure took a long time.

        It’s always the same story. Look at all the teasing they do on Twitter, and then look at the complete lack of updates. I was a big fan, but I’ve written it off now. It’s been a legit decade with basically no changes.

          Meh, I already had the game since Alpha (way before it got like 1 or 2 updates via the launcher), got the Beta/Steam version upgrade for free, if it gets updated that’s good, if not I don’t lose anything, no need to go all “no updates so game is dead forever” specially now that they are finally showing things for a future update.

          Still looking for a worthy replacement (Veloren is cool and all but something is missing that just can’t seem to keep my interest).

              I’d hardly call what I wrote “optimistic”, but you do you, man.
              You go and enjoy whatever you enjoy.
