+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In November, Veloren started a new initiative to help new developers learn more
+about the codebase; the Veloren Reading Club. 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!
