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].
