OK. I know the most simple language for you is Russian, so you may throw away any translator. Come on, speak your native language. I will understand.

Gopnik.

Is it your suggestion for game name? :-)

[azekill_DIABLO]

:] Yep.

[Sergey]

:] Yep.

No.
No criminal shade in the name, please!

Woah, im "toatally" sure someone would love to try a game who's very name says glitch. :P
personally im against changing the name of Minetest Game and only come up with ideas for fun.

[Andrey01]

Test Block? In my opinion Minetest is very suitable name for game engine.

MainDrassil
YggCraft

[azekill_DIABLO]

why not call it azekill-DIABLO's Game? xD

[Wuzzy]

But especially, all suggestions for a different name so far are just really desperate-sounding and awful. Especially the recent ones.

Recent suggestions:

MainPlane
BlockPlane
Pixellated Chocobo Boxing
ThePlane
Planium
Gopnik
GlitchNodes
BuggyBlocks
Test Blocks
MainDrassil
YggCraft
azekill-DIABLO's Game

You all just proved my point. :P

[John_Constructor]

If I were to suggest a name, it'd probably be something like "Minengine" (Mine and engine combined; possible to confuse with "MinEngine" [Minimal and Engine combined].). Honestly I think the current name would be best to keep though, as we're all used to it from the potential years of using it.

I agree.

[Linuxdirk]

You all just proved my point. :P

As of today this thread produced only a handful (at best!) of good names. And deep inside everyone knows that :)

[kingoscargames]

Thomas the Lua Engine

The best name ever! xD

[TumeniNodes]

<<<<Voxplorer>>>> :P

or Mintest Explorer

[Sergey]

<<<<Voxplorer>>>> :P

or Mintest Explorer

TumeniCubes

Hmm, I think it is not bad name.

[MineYoshi]

Internet Explorer

Both tend to be laggy anyways.

[azekill_DIABLO]

xD

[TumeniNodes]

Just had a thought (don't worry, I'm alright...)

How about...

ROAM

... That's it..., just "ROAM"
this is building off of my "explorer" idea

I think a lot of time "in-game", is spent doing just this... roaming.? yes/no?
Sure there are lots of other aspects to the game but, it's mostly about roaming, and finding, digging, building, crafting new things, then roaming some more.

We could even use the slogan "ROAM was not built in one day." :D
Could use an image like this (only more dramatic, and with default textures)



And, as an added bonus, just think how nice and short of a name it is, when related to coding ; )

roam.register_node

[Sergey]

How about... ROAM
... That's it..., just "ROAM"

I can suggest shorter variant — YAW
It reflects the point better. The player is not just roaming. He has a plan of some route to go but he deviates from it all the time going back and forth looking for something.

[TumeniNodes]

ahhhhh POOP!... nevermind ROAM is already taken.

the only way it could be used is if the ROAM dev were to go missing.......
I'm gonna need an alibi.... who's in?
