+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In August, lots of preparation was done to get Veloren ready for the 0.11
+release coming in September. Work was done on refactoring parts of the codebase,
+and making server administration more ergonomic. Towers were added, which allow
+for above-ground dungeons. Skill trees were tweaked for better progression.
+Modular weapons had a heavy amount of work put into them and were recently
+merged. Work was done to prevent the camera from clipping through walls as much.
+
+Improvements were made to the physics system, as well as other optimizations to
+the real-time simulation system. Terrain persistence was completed and is now
+being tested on the main server. Balancing was done to loot tables, and more
+animations were added to characters. In September, 0.11 will be released. Come
+out to the [release party on the 11th at 18:00 UTC][veloren-release-event]!
