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: To keep Veloren a passion project free from financial incentives we will only accept donations to cover server hosting expenses. There is no way to donate yet.
