Some things Veloren does differently
A core developer of the open-source voxel MMO Veloren details unusual architectural choices made throughout the game's development: its use of an Entity Component System instead of OOP class hierarchies (with amusing bugs like players 'picking up' other players), a strict player/NPC symmetry where NPCs obey the same physics and controller inputs as players, a custom voxel storage structure called 'chonks' balancing cache coherence and compression, whole-world pre-generation at low resolution with detail interpolation on approach, physically-based ('ontological') procedural generation using hydraulic erosion models rather than aesthetic noise-based techniques, an always-running world simulation system called 'rtsim' that tracks tens of thousands of NPCs even when players aren't nearby, a design philosophy rejecting invisible walls, and a single unified world space (including deep cave networks) with careful handling of lighting leaks.
