According to Google Trends, interest in Minecraft has peaked now and is slowly waning: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=minecraft
So by the time MT finally hits 1.0 (and Steam), eight-year-olds worldwide may very well have decided that the whole block-building sandbox game trend is over and sooo 2011.

Re: Minetest on Steam
Minetest needs to be bundle with more subgames and with great and different subgames, this is a fact...
But if people comes from Steam, they can also connect to public servers :)

It's even worse if you look at Minetest: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q ... %2FGMT%2B6Morn76 wrote:According to Google Trends, interest in Minecraft has peaked now and is slowly waning: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=minecraft

Yes, celeron55 has said he saw declining downloads for each new MT release. I blamed forum builds (which he did not include I guess), but yeah, looks like MT peaked in 2014.Neuromancer wrote:It's even worse if you look at Minetest: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q ... %2FGMT%2B6Morn76 wrote:According to Google Trends, interest in Minecraft has peaked now and is slowly waning: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=minecraft

Moreover, stampy peaked in January 2015 (https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=stampy) and Captain Sparklez also peaked sometime in 2014 apparently (https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=sparklez). So it might be a trend.
Terraria is still trending up slightly, but I don't know if this indie-based return to 2-D gaming isn't another fad, especially with Oculus Rift getting released this year. What's nice in 2-D though is that you can judge jumps better and also enemy mobs cannot sneak up behind your back.

I use PPAs to download minetest. Probably most Debian based users do.
It's lisac, not lisa.

Re: Minetest on Steam
I think the problem is, we've done the tried and tested method. (Ayy, pun.)
Secondly, Terraria has a metric shit-ton of content. MT anc MC, by comparison, does not.
We need content, not an empty base game. What's a world without life, entertainment, a purpose?

Re: Minetest on Steam
There are plenty of early access games on Steam that are still heavily under development, so that should not be a problem. It's actually a good thing because players can still influence the direction a game takes.Jordach wrote: We need content, not an empty base game.

The bigger problem is probably that early access games on Steam are expected to mature quite rapidly, i.e. over a time span of a few months. Open source projects like MT tend to develop at a more leisurely pace and cannot really keep up with small startups where developers code all day and sleep under their desks. Especially if those people also use a ready-made game engine for 3-D graphics and physics, instead of rolling their own like MT does.
