A command-line frontend for Veloren

Teloren ('Telnet' + 'Veloren')

Build Check

Teloren is an ANSI-compatible terminal frontend to Veloren, the multiplayer RPG voxel game written in Rust. Teloren is currently still very much a work in progress and I strongly recommend you play with the 3D frontend first.

Usage

Start Teloren using the following arguments:

teloren --username YOUR_LOGIN --password YOUR_PASSWORD --character YOUR_CHARACTER

Optionally, you may also specify --server and --port arguments to play on something other than the main public server.

Why?

Veloren's engine has been deliberately designed in an extremely modular manner. As a result, graphical frontends are entirely decoupled from the client library itself, and so writing alternative frontends for the game is actually quite easy.
