Guessing more like Breath of the Wild. Jump off something really tall and open something akin to a canopy that lets you fly unpowered over long distances.
Ahhhh... I enjoy that too but many places to get that particular kick :)
Veloren's is much more physics-based than BotW, you can tilt and steer the glider to control your flight. Here's a good video that also shows off the extreme elevation of the world's mountains: https://youtu.be/w-kYWjrU6IE
My disappointment upon turning sound on and not hearing "Sail" was palpable! Looks cool, although very much like the Minecraft gliding from memory
That looks fun! What happens afterwards? Do you have to spend many hours climbing back to the top of the mountain, or is there some sort of fast travel?
It doesn't take too long to climb back up; unlike Minecraft, you can walk/run up one level of elevation so it's not like you have to hit the jump key a thousand times. No fast travel that I know of, but dying will reset you to the last campfire you touched, so you could use that in a pinch. Also the game is open source, you can compile it yourself and teleport anywhere with dev options, or add the ability to fast travel. :)
edit: I was Vag/Dis, played PB Mod from 00-04' if anyone's still around. |!i!PbP|
Have you tried Population One? It is surprisingly fun, the only downside is the hardware you need to play it comes from Zucky.
I would kill for a libre FPS-Z game.
Midair tried it but I don't think it was libre
Correct. They never even allowed private servers or mods. This is also what killed Tribes: Ascend. The modern microtransactions model has made games like Starsiege: Tribes impossible to make by profit seeking corps.
