Smoke was improved from houses, and now +has different colours and strenghts. A rib cage generator was added, so now +there are large bone structures from ancient times around the world. Level of +detail objects were added, so trees can now be seen on far off mountains. This +makes the world feel significantly more alive. A lot of work was done on the +performance of the game server, as Veloren has been seeing over 100 concurrent +players at peak on the server nearly every day for the past few weeks. + +Lots of work was done on balancing items and drop rates. Water caves have been +worked on, which now means that you might need to enter them from underwater. +Modular weapons were merged, which was a change several months in the making. +NPCs are now able to pick up items that are on the ground. Work was done on +taming and mounting various animals. Weather is still in the works, with +improvements to the ambiant SFX system for rain. A new UI concept was created +for what Airshipper might be able to look like in the future. + +May's full weekly devlogs: "This Week In Veloren...": +[#170][veloren-170], +[#171][veloren-171], +[#172][veloren-172], +[#173][veloren-173], +[#174][veloren-174]. + +[veloren]: https://veloren.net + +[veloren-170]: https://veloren.net/devblog-170 +[veloren-171]: https://veloren.net/devblog-171 +[veloren-172]: https://veloren.net/devblog-172 +[veloren-173]: https://veloren.net/devblog-173 +[veloren-174]: https://veloren.net/devblog-174 + ## Engine Updates ## Learning Material Updates diff --git a/content/news/034/veloren.jpg b/content/news/034/veloren.jpg new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3ab479181 Binary files /dev/null and b/content/news/034/veloren.jpg differ
