       | server tonight, see what my friends who've played Minecraft with
       | me think :)

       | wasn't able to take advantage of it.
       | 
       | This is a pretty massive achievement for the Veloren team to do
       | all of this themselves.

       | Oh! Is this a bit like Cube World? I loved that game before the
       | developer dropped of the face of the planet, then came back and
       | changed everything...

         | I've heard this yes, maybe a mix of cube world and another
         | game. I never played either but Veloren is fun even when all
         | you could do was run and paraglide around the world and
         | explore, but they've long since added many story elements too.

       | Pet peeve: out of context release announcements.

       | From the README.md: Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in
       | Rust. It is inspired by games such as Cube World, The Legend of
       | Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. The game
       | is in active development and enjoys a flourishing player
       | community.

       | Never heard of this, but just downloaded it. After trying Vintage
       | Story, this feels incredibly polished! Ability to zoom out from
       | character perspective to entire world without a hitch kind of
       | blows my mind. And written in Rust! I may be a new fan.
