+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In June, a memory issue was found within the graphics stack. Weather is also
+getting closer to completion. There is a large write-up about it in one of [this
+month's blog posts][veloren-176].
+
+Lots of work has also gone into optimizing the Site2 system. Site2 is used to
+create many different shapes around the world, such as houses in towns, or
+citadels around the world. With these optimizations, it will be significantly
+easier to render chunks, which will have a dramatic effect on their load time.
+You can read more about these optimizations in [this blog post][veloren-178].
