Re: [Game] Exile v0.3.15e

GIVE THEM MONEY Y'ALL! Seriously, they deserve it. :-) I am so impressed with how much work they've all put into this project. I never dreamed Exile would still be going this long. My own circumstances are better now than when I started this project ~4yrs ago, so if you want to support me as project...

Re: [Mod] Tectonic Map Generator 0.3.2 [mg_tectonic]

I've merged this into Master, so everyone can find it. Maybe it'll be more usable for some people ;-) This map is still slow, by normal standards, and might be buggy (I'm not really planning on maintaining it either). But it's an excellent example of what Minetest could be doing, beyond just replica...

Re: [Game] Exile v0.3.10

I just discovered games can do music in the main game menu. I couldn't help but fiddle around with it. Here's one for Exile. Drag and drop into the menu folder, and viola - music.

Re: Minetest's Dirty little secret. It's for creators not players

we just lack the ability to coordinate our talent to do that. Who's this "we?" I think my team's doing just fine at that over here, thank you very much. Exile started out exactly as suggested - fun for the creator, let the players be damned. Pushing it towards becoming a successfully func...

Ha! Reminds me of this project I made ages ago: viewtopic.php?f=50&t=27550.

I don't know if we ever want guns in Exile, but I recommend the Annihilator if you enjoy seeing mobs get yeeted into outer-space!

Re: [Game] Exile v0.3.10

My attempt at a project roadmap is here: https://forum.minetest.net/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=29696 This is very big picture, but hopefully will help new people get a general sense of where things are at and where it's going. If this proves useful, maybe link to it where new contributors can find it?

Exile's Roadmap (such as it is)

Do you want to contribute to Exile, but have no idea what's going on? Here is a rough big-picture roadmap of what Exile's long term development might look like. Ideally these steps are done in order. Later steps benefit from the previous steps being finished. In practice everything blurs together. h...

Re: [Mod] Tectonic Map Generator 0.3.1 [mg_tectonic]

Hey, that looks cool!

I've kind of forgotten how most of this code works myself. It was always very experimental, pushing Minetest to its limits just to see what it would be like.

Re: [Game] Exile v0.3.10

Plants look cool :-) As far as keeping it "like a real place" you can push that pretty extreme. Everything in Minetest feels about 10x larger than in reality. So, think what might fit in a 600km x 600km space. (and, as always, you guys are free to take things where ever you want to go. I'm...

I was thinking about general succulent adaptations... Trust your instincts for what you think looks good :-) In general the new plants look great.

Re: [Game] Exile v0.3.9e

Okay, here's my idea for barrenland plants: Have the new spiky plants mostly just in the orange dunelands. They should look good there. Fill the barrenlands with ephemeral wildflowers. Use these new season/growth features to do a brief "superbloom" in spring/rain/whenever. The landscape tu...

I just started a proper play through of V4 on latest Minetest update. It's looking good! - Lag: yeah, it is a bit laggy for me (but most things are on old low end hardware!) - Confusing UI: I'm getting the same vibes that I got when the new HUD was first added, good but confusing at the same time.

Shad: If it's an Lua mapgen it might conflict with the mod that creates the undercity (based on the old geomoria mod)??
