+_Veloren on the Steam Deck!_
+
+[Veloren][veloren] is an open world, open-source voxel RPG inspired by Dwarf
+Fortress and Cube World.
+
+In March, Veloren was tested on the SteamDeck, which you can read about in
+detail in [the weekly devblog][veloren-steamdeck-section]. Lots of work was done
+with Airshipper, Veloren's launcher, including some bug fixes, but mainly the
+switch to Github Releases as the download backend. This will make game updates
+significantly faster and more reliable for players. Work is also being done to
+make use of Github's HTTP range requests to do partial patches where possible.
+Audio work was done to improve swimming sounds playing unevenly, and more sounds
+to gliding.
+
+Veloren was also mentioned [on Hacker News][veloren-hn], and lots of great
+discussions happened in the comment section. In 2021, Veloren spoke at Rust in
+Arts, and [the recording has recently been posted][veloren-rust-in-arts]. The
+0.13 release map is in the works, with a jungle theme. CliffTowns are being
+developed, as a new town located in the mountains. Veloren recorded another
+reading club episode, this time about [Tracy and
+optimizations][veloren-reading-club-7]. A new series was also started, and the
+first [Veloren Code Review was recorded][veloren-code-review-1].
