Director's Commentary: Veloren
summary
Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust that actually runs a live server with 54 players online (peak ~180 on a 48‑core host). The world is finite and precomputed: mountains undergo an erosion simulation that yields erosion-simulated rivers and lakes, then streamed with level‑of‑detail terrain. Flight uses physics tuned for buoyancy and density. Rendering and tooling use wgpu + naga, an ECS (specs), and a broad community of 200+ contributors driving economy, simulation, and assets.
