+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In August, Veloren saw a network library update, new locations in the character
+selection screen, the implementation of a new portal graphic, and numerous
+translation updates. Moreover, improvements were made to the airship fixes, loot
+balancing, and group chat issues. There also been upgrades to the dependency, a
+README update, and tweaks to the buff death message.
+
+Ongoing projects currently in the works include the addition of Phoenix
+abilities, NPC arenas, frost Giga attacks, compasses, and a banking storage
+system. Other upcoming updates include an enhancement to the windmills, CI
+scripts, saving window size, the selection of a single-player world, addition of
+lava material, and improvements to the weather network protocol. Work is also
+ongoing on ship movement, pet commands, Terracotta ruins, dwarven quarry,
+coastal towns, clifftown rework, and axe skills. They are also planning to
+implement physics interactions that increase your height when gliding, including
+the introduction of thermal and ridgelines.
