You can watch the +[first][veloren-reading-club-1] and [second][veloren-reading-club-2] sessions +now. Hats were merged, and a major rewrite of the server-hosting section of the +book happened. New textures were made for item drops. Some concept art was +created for what massive cities could look like. Dynamic weather was added, and +you can [watch that in action][veloren-rain-storm]. + +Experience sharing went through a large overhaul to evenly distribute EXP gained +across groups. The difficulty of dungeons was adjusted to be more balanced for +new players. Persistence was added to skills, and measures were put in place to +help with future migrations to new skill trees. Work was done on site2, the +system that is used to generate structures in a procedural way. This will help +make the variance more dynamic by adding more parameters that can be adjusted. +In December, Veloren will release 0.12, hopefully with some holiday spirit! + +November's full weekly devlogs: "This Week In Veloren...": +[#144][veloren-144], +[#145][veloren-145], +[#146][veloren-146], +[#147][veloren-147], +[#148][veloren-148]. + +[veloren]: https://veloren.net +[veloren-144]: https://veloren.net/devblog-144 +[veloren-145]: https://veloren.net/devblog-145 +[veloren-146]: https://veloren.net/devblog-146 +[veloren-147]: https://veloren.net/devblog-147 +[veloren-148]: https://veloren.net/devblog-148 +[veloren-reading-club-1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXwYEe_LWo +[veloren-reading-club-2]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8XayRvVBEs +[veloren-rain-storm]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZwfaohynvc + ## Engine Updates ### [Tetra] 0.6.7 diff --git a/content/news/028/veloren.jpg b/content/news/028/veloren.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..515aefa80 Binary files /dev/null and b/content/news/028/veloren.jpg differ
