A bit belated, but 1.19.20 has been released. Overall this is a fairly quiet release, but most notable is that several scenarios in Eastern Invasion have had weather effects added and the Rail terrain now has additional sprites when going over water and chasm.
Steam reviews give playtimes, so we can compute some statistics.
HyperRogue: 122h on average, 22h median, and 348h on the 90% percentile. (Plz more reviews!)

Some of the latest additions to our Downloads section in the game menu include several tracks by Gunny, among them this spectacular WoodenRally, which is so remindful of the Rally of Finland. No less important is the work done by @W-E-C on the interior and animated drivers of the Kafka Color RS1, as well as the setup by @RacingHeartGT and some touches from other users. ...and this video is an example of both: https://youtu.be/55HZ2zI0JEU
2.5.0 #Development: this video shows the animated gallery, TrueType font rendering (supporting UTF-8) and, as a result, the first translation of SD into another language (in this case, #Catalan).
We have just reached the iconic milestone of 1,000 #followers Thank you all so much for your support. Very, very soon we will have some exciting news about the new version that we are sure you will like.
After a long wait of over twelve months, we are releasing Veloren 0.18 on January 24th!
The past year of work has included many new features and fixes, including:
- switched from shaderc to #naga as the default shader compiler - airships now have defined routes traveling between many towns - directional lanterns - new tutorial system - controller button remapping in-game - basic quest system
2025 was a year packed with hard work on #CrownEngine. Late nights, tough challenges and endless iterations. But looking back, we're satisfied with all the things accomplished and can't wait to share the highlights in this thread. Let's get into it! 👇
