Re: [Server] Tunnelers' Abyss

I am more than disappointed at how quickly this developed; pups has been a longtime, helpful player of the server, and although we have had our disagreements, we always mutually respected each other and had a great time playing TA together. I hope this isn't the end of that. I want to put this out t...

https://content.minetest.net/threads/7198/ Continuing from this thread. It does look like my minetest version had to do with it. I've just tested on minetest 5.8.0 so that I could get a fresh look at this mod. Firstly- great job with the FIDE rule implementation! I like the move list too, that was a...

Re: 2023 Minetest GAME JAM (December 1st-21st) [Theme: "UNEXPECTED"] [$300] jam.minetest.net

I don't think themes are there to stop people cheating. They're there because limitations lead to creativity. It's a lot easier to think of game ideas when you have a theme to start with It's not uncommon for game jams to be fairly open with the theme. Ludum Dare, for example, doesn't require you t...

and partly there to prevent people from working on a game all year and then submitting it at the end. Just another thought: This is why adjective themes just don't work very well, because there's a good possibility you can squash the adjective into whatever game you've been working on outside of th...

Citadel was one of my favorites - well deserved for 1st place, congratulations. Although I preferred Shadow Forest (because I am a sucker for good assets, especially textures, and Shadow Forest felt *way* more polished in this regard), the gameplay of Citadel was unique and much more creative.

Re: Missing licenses

Great summary, Blockhead! +1

Here in the states, people seem to sue at the drop of a hat, so it is really really important to put a proper license on your stuff - both to protect your users and yourself! :-)

I love this, nice to see a lot of well known shops getting attention!

It is very nostalgic and quite a bit of money has never seen light again ...

Re: The best name instead of Minetest is...

I guess I'm the weirdo in this thread now, but I prefer Minetest over everything that has been suggested here and I really hope it sticks :-) I guess I've gotten really used to it, but it'd be terrible (from my perspective, at least) to see Minetest under any other name.

Re: [Server] Tunnelers' Abyss

I am not a fan of that decision either. In Hume2's defense, the building was against server rules, but I think InitialD had played plenty long enough to warrant plenty of grace (which ... there was none here), and obviously he put a lot of work into it. :/ I really regret that happened, but at the s...

I would also like to apologize for getting worked up on this topic, and I'm sure I do the same thing (being too harsh on minor subjects) from time to time: working on eliminating that :-) I'm sorry for being argumentative with you, Blockhead, and sorry for detracting from the primary conversation.

Then why are you expecting MCL to act like a European? I'm afraid that is also jingoistic and chauvinist. I'm expecting him to act in international fashion not region-specific fashion. That is is the opposite of what you accuse me of. If you look back at the OP you'll notice the latest edit uses YY...

Re: Terrible lag on kids laptops with gnarly LAN server

Great to hear you've solved the issue. Viewing range can indeed be a big problem. I wish minetest made it more obvious that rendering so many blocks can cause a lot of lag!!

Happy playing to you and your kids.
