even faster. * GPU based version started in previous commit, but this fixes errors and bugs and gets it actually compiling and running. * Add a way to batch together images to use the same render pass for GPU premultiplication if they all target the same texture. * Pending premultiplication uploads are automatically done when calling `Drawer::third_pass`. * `fast-srgb8` dep removed, we no longer convert to `f32`s to do the premultiplication. Two `[u16; 256]` tables are combined to compute the alpa premultiplied color within the same error bounds used by the `fast-srgb8` crate. We also no longer use explicit simd. * Remove explicit lifetimes from `PlayState::render` since `&self` and `Drawer<'_>` don't need to have the same lifetime. * Fix existing bug where invalidated cache entries were never set to valid when reusing them. * `prepare_graphic` now runs some heuristics to determine whether premultiplication should be executed CPU side or GPU side and then returns a bool indicating if GPU premultiplication is needed.
Welcome To Veloren!
Veloren is a multiplayer voxel RPG written in Rust. Veloren takes inspiration from games such as Cube World, Minecraft and Dwarf Fortress. The game is currently under heavy development, but is playable.
Development
Currently the communication of contributors happens mainly on our official Discord server. You can join it to keep up with the development, talk to us or contribute something yourself. Anyone who shows genuine effort to help is welcome in our team. You don't have to know how to program to contribute!

If you want to compile Veloren yourself, follow the instructions in our Book.
F.A.Q.
Q: How is this game licensed?
A: It's free to play, modify and distribute. Forever. Since it is a community project, we decided to license it under the GNU GPL 3.0 license which means it will always stay free and open source.
Q: What platforms are supported?
A: Veloren can run on Windows, Linux and Mac OS on all architectures (although x86_64 is our main focus). It's probably possible to compile Veloren on/for BSD, Fuchsia and others as well.
Q: Do you accept donations?
A: You can support the project on our OpenCollective Page.
