Re: 2023 Minetest GAME JAM (December 1st-21st) [Theme: "UNEXPECTED"] [$300] jam.minetest.net
By the way: I have to be honest, but I really hated this year's theme. :-( I mostly ignored it (and apparently, many others to), had no real idea what to do with it, so I basically just forced the theme into the story of my game. Which raises another point: what's the point of giving a theme if peo...

Re: 2023 Minetest GAME JAM (December 1st-21st) [Theme: "UNEXPECTED"] [$300] jam.minetest.net
I've noticed only now that the vote is entirely community-driven. I find this a very *very* stupid move, as it lets an undefined mass of people choose who has to win. Considering there is also a money prize, I expect people with experience in game design/Minetest to have a saying on these games, not...

Re: Defragmenting the Minetest community
Matrix should be a first class citizen. An open source game, with open source advocates deserves a focus on open source software. 100 times this (I would have said "free software" but it's not the point) Supporting Lemmy would send a strong message of support. Open source software stands ...

Re: Idea: advertisements in ContentDB
The reason why many mods are low quality is because people are making them for fun. Providing an incentive to make mods will significantly increase the quality of mods. There could be a certain percentage of the ad revenue that would go to the engine developers. That's not true: I know at least 3 p...

Re: How do we increase modder involvement in engine development?
So to raise a PR in minetest, you effectively have to ask very nicely, and wait for very busy core devs (who don't have time to review) to go through the issues and find yours, and support it, not just once, but twice. I don't think you realise how welcoming that is. When people have the motivation...

Re: How do we increase modder involvement in engine development?
First of all, thanks for reaching out, ancientmariner. I'll try to share my 2 cents here as a Minetest staff member (triager, not core dev, but anyway): If Minetest actually cares about users think, they could consider the following: Stop treating the roadmap as a religion. Treat it as a guideline i...

Re: Community Voting vs Judges (2023 Jam)
I think the voting system shouldn't be handed to the community. One practical reason is the issue regarding the Minetest new name suggestion: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13510; where, despite the «names outside the "voxel" and "free/open" nature are encouraged (e....

Re: Texture editing apps
Talking about free software, you should consider LibreSprite, an Aseprite fork (which became proprietary in 2016). Developing is back again and we're killing it :D (I'm a maintainer) We'll soon release 1.0, but in the meanwhile you can either download the previous version from the official site (ht...

Once again, ContentDB already disqualifies pretty much all proprietary content. My misunderstanding originated from this entry from last year => https://content.minetest.net/packages/JALdMIC/survivethedays/, where I thought that "proprietary" meant fully proprietary as there is no "s...

I could not care less if a game is open source, proprietary, or nonfree if it doesn't function. However, wouldn't you care less if a game is great, yet proprietary? Would you be happy to give $300 to some super fun yet proprietary game, instead of incentivising free software distribution? Personall...

Re: 2022 Minetest GAME JAM [November 1st-21st] [$$$]
I'm so happy to see this happening again, but I'm completely against the fact that developing a free software game is awarded with just two points (the lowest bonus of it all). For proprietary code/content I'd expect either a ban from the competition, or at least a big penalty, since we're talking a...
