### [Weegames][weegames-itch]

![Handful of minigames including hedgehogs and raspberries](weegames.jpg)

[Weegames][weegames-itch] is a fast-paced minigame collection.
The Windows version of the game has been rewritten to use Macroquad,
so now the web and downloadable versions of the game share the same codebase.
Development for the web version has moved to the
[Weegames Github][weegames-github] repository.

### [Veloren][veloren]

![An odd structure in the woods](veloren.jpg) _An odd structure in the woods_

[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
Fortress and Cube World.

In September, Veloren hosted its larges release party ever! At peak, 181 players
were playing on the server together. You can read about all the changes to 0.11
in [the release blog][veloren-011-release-blog], and be sure to watch the
[release trailer][veloren-011-trailer]! During the release party, several devs
spoke about the changes, which you can watch [here][veloren-011-dev-chats]. This
release party was the first one to handle the high player load with no issues,
and give hope for much larger servers in the future.

Shaderc was replaced with Naga early on in the month. This was the result of
over a year of work. Hitboxes are in the process of being overhauled to handle
non-cylidrical targets better. Improvements were made to how the cursor selects
objects in game. As always, lots of experiemental work is being done to the
economic system. Cultist raiders were added, which mean that raiding parties
will now attack nearby settlements. This is a great example of how the realtime
simulation is starting to become more visible to players.

### [Harvest Hero Origins][hho] @ PAX West 2021

[Harvest Hero Origins][hho]
([Discord](https://discord.gg/CJRbxQn3d9),
[Twitter](https://twitter.com/GemdropGames))
is an arcade wave defense game by [Gemdrop Games][gemdrop],
built in Rust on top of [Emerald].

Gemdrop Games recently took Harvest Hero Origins to [PAX West 2021][hho_pax]
and had a very positive response from most of the players!
Being able to watch people play the game was extremely valuable,
the developers were able to see pain points in UI/UX design
and can now fix them without worry.
They were also able to see what players find fun about controlling each hero,
which helps with the next hero planning in the full release of the game.

Harvest Hero Origins is still planned to release by the end of 2021,
please wishlist it on [Steam][hho]!
