Veloren is so cool. (It’s open source and written in Rust™)

    Is Veloren the game that started as a minecraft clone and was renamed later?

    Btw “Verloren” is german for “lost” or “gone”

      Veloren started as a clone, or perhaps rather spiritual continuation, of Cube World: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cube_World

      Cube World was hyped quite a bit, particularly because the solo dev made huge promises. Then he released an Alpha build, made a bunch of money from that and went into radio silence.

      Veloren basically set out to build the game, that Cube World was promised to be. And well, they’ve long surpassed what was in that Alpha build.

      When I went to look up the gane I accidentally typed verloren.net instead of veloren.bet and got a weird German website about the author losing something so that explains it
