+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In July, work focused on larger tasks that tend to come up between versions.
+Optimizations were made for networking with compression, and message queue improvements
+([devblog #127](#127)). Modular weapons are in the
+works, which will allow for much more dynamic ways to choose what you fight
+with. The project also hit 300k lines of code.
+
+Many contributors are working on the art and asset front, with lots of new SFX,
+models, and UI elements making their way into the game. Caves are also getting a
+lot of love, and a bloom feature is being integrated. Some members broke down
+what they plan to have done by the 0.11 release at the beginning of September,
+and you can read about that in [devblog #130](130).
