+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In October, Veloren hit 10,000 commits, as well as 10,000 members on the Discord
+server! Shrubs got added, along with improvements to rivers, and the
+addition of waterfalls. There have been efforts to diagnose some network issues
+that have been causing downloads to not work for some people. Crafting is going
+through overhauls on the backend. [New aurora shaders][veloren-aurora-video]
+were added as well.
+
+Initial ideas are being discussed to try and improve the
+amount of asset files that have to be downloaded with each update of the game,
+which will help improve the 200MB that has to be downloaded after each nightly
+update. New jewelery has been added, and sneaking is being improved to make
+agents in the game react better to it. Ongoing worldgen improvemnts are also
+being made as we head into November.
