Veloren

The Veloren devblog website

It is inspired by games such as Cube World, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft.

You can play single player or multi-player, standalone or use an online server, or even host your own server in a Docker container, or on a Raspberry Pi. Plenty of options!

You start by creating your character, you can collect items for your inventory, you can craft items, there are weapons and combat, you develop skills, can tame creatures, you can trade with merchants, you can socialise, and lost more. There is no single, specific goal or focus, and the idea is to keep exploring and have adventures.

The game is community driven and actually updates quite regularly.

It is clearly no clone of Minecraft. It is fun and adventure!

    My friend group was burned on Cube World, and this game looks and plays exactly the way we liked how Cube World used to… I’m going to drop this on them and see how they react, played a few minutes of it and it satisfies that voxel itch

    Thanks for reminding me of the game that was never finished. -_-

    Voxel Quest is (let’s be honest!) probably more of a research project than a game. It is an attempt to explore new areas in rendering, procedural generation, simulation, and AI. At this point, it is entirely free and I work on it as a hobby in my spare time. -https://www.voxelquest.com

    This one looks like fun, though. I’ll add it to the backlog.

    I’ve seen discussion of Veloren but I never knew it was open source. Roped some friends into trying it and we’re impressed by how much more content it already has compared to Cube World.
