+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+Doors were worked on, and now they open more consistantly in a single direction.
+There is ongoing work to add train tracks to the world, as well as train
+stations in villages. A talk about Veloren was given at the Rust and Cpp Cardiff
+Meetup, which [you can watch here][rust-and-cpp-cardiff-meetup].
+
+Work was done on minotaurs to improve their attacks. A new dungeon type, adlet,
+is being worked on. Bird animations are also having some work done. Houses are
+seeing an uplift with some tests being done. In December, Veloren will be
+hosting a Christmas event in the second half of the month.
