A new name for Minetest
A new name for Minetest
Reading this topic Mintest: Great Engine, Horrible 'Branding' I decided to start a little and my first topic here.
Do not take it to serious, maybe a name change will never happen, but maybe it will be fun.
;)
Rules:
1. Post you name suggestion and below that a short explanation why you think it would fit.
2. We looking for a name here for the engine, so the name shouldn't contain any terms that are subgame specific.
3. Feel free to post several suggesstions in, but please keep the structure.
4. Stay on topic, but a bit discussion about the names is welcome of course.

Re: A new name for Minetest
eh, i like MINETEST, i've already got some Great deer and wolf MODS, and the community can branch out at will, with re-naming their own Games
there are so many good ways to lock and open servers, and special MOD packs, often a flood of Great New content comes, with It, and it's a Free Engine, with great speed for shoveling dirt
the MENU is slick, and all the skins are fresh, it's a Total Package, in a fantastic source
it's such a homage to classic Games, in the same vein, why change It? even the attack animations scream "test your memory" when defeating strong monsters, in the ruins, or even in the sky

... hmmm
but I still keep in BrainCraft as this that what it did and could do with some mods, teach kids some basic knowledge about resources, production lanes, and lack of production need like basic minerals ...
basically about about what is really NEEDED (Air, water, food) and what is helpful (shelter, house) and what is just luxury (without any advantage, as just to say I have this, and you not) ...

Original topic addressing this question:
Should we rename Minetest? (poll)
Hint: It didn't go anywhere, obviously.

Re: A new name for Minetest
What really bugs me is the way people insist on pronouncing it as Mine-test instead of the proper Minet-est as in "the most Minet" of games. I therefore suggest renaming "Minetest" to "Minette" not unlike the Godot team has rebranded as Godette!
Re: A new name for Minetest
Let's rename it to "Minecraft" or "Veloren". Or maybe "Stalemate" :P
Whatever I say is CC0

Re: A new name for Minetest
No it is not, that topic you linked asks if Minetest should get a new name, I asked for new names.sorcerykid wrote: ↑Thu Apr 01, 2021 01:35Original topic addressing this question:

Re: A new name for Minetest
Most confusing is for beginners that there is a Minetest engine and a Minetest game. Minetest is ok for the game, but the engine, if you really want to advertise it as an engine, should have an other name. I am not very good in finding names, but it should have a different name. 'Cugine" ? CUbe enGINE ? idk XD

MTG and its variants in combination with the dedicated mods are the game, .its the game content that is the minetest game not the engine
The engine needs it own identity to set it apart from the game .
What drives the most traffic here the engine or the game content .?
Minetest is a game . it is advertised everywhere as a game .
rebranding the engine will cut the links to all the outdated stuff.
