_Veloren on the Steam Deck!_

[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf

Fortress and Cube World.

In March, Veloren was tested on the SteamDeck, which you can read about in

detail in [the weekly devblog][veloren-steamdeck-section]. Lots of work was done

with Airshipper, Veloren's launcher, including some bug fixes, but mainly the

switch to Github Releases as the download backend. This will make game updates

significantly faster and more reliable for players. Work is also being done to

make use of Github's HTTP range requests to do partial patches where possible.

Audio work was done to improve swimming sounds playing unevenly, and more sounds

to gliding.

Veloren was also mentioned [on Hacker News][veloren-hn], and lots of great

discussions happened in the comment section. In 2021, Veloren spoke at Rust in

Arts, and [the recording has recently been posted][veloren-rust-in-arts]. The

0.13 release map is in the works, with a jungle theme. CliffTowns are being

developed, as a new town located in the mountains. Veloren recorded another

reading club episode, this time about [Tracy and

optimizations][veloren-reading-club-7]. A new series was also started, and the

first [Veloren Code Review was recorded][veloren-code-review-1].
