Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Hello, Minetest! Last year there was hate for a fork that I created called Crevis, which apparently, you guys thought we were trying to make money and do stuff illegally that passed your license. Anyways, I've been redeveloping the thing completely separate from the Minetest engine, and while doing that I found the old file. Anyways I thought I'd put it up for download since it is a Minetest fork and I think it should belong on here with the reputation of a fork rather than an entirely seperate game that supposedly tried to rip off Minetest. Anyways, I kind of forgot what it was, so I guess it's a 'secret' fork, I know there's PilzAdam's beds in there, and a scythe mod I put together in a few minutes, but it's pretty cool so I'll post the link on here so you guys can check it out :)

What motivates me to download this > 10 MB file?

Re: Crevis - The Minetest Fork
My honest opinion of it? It would be better of as a subgame. It does have some really cool mobs, and I like the trading system. There are some neat tools, too.
On the other hand, the textures are inconsistent. It looks like you used a lot of stock photos too, which is very bad for a game you're planning on releasing. And looking at your website, you're ready for something big. So you may want to fix those before August.
The font is unreadable, but that may just be because I was running in Wine. Which brings me onto my other point; you only gave a windows build. You should probably give out a git link so we Nix users can play it without having endless issues :)
Probably one of the best things about this is that it's unique. It's a shame that the inconsistency, use of stock textures, crazy verbose debugging amongst a few other issues bring it down.
I don't know much about it's past, I've only heard a few things. But as a subgame, it has potential.

Re: Crevis - The Minetest Fork
Is this a fork of the engine, or simply vanilla Minetest bundled with a sub-game?
In the former case, please provide the sources for your changes. Otherwise, it is still illegal, and the topic will probably be removed.
In the latter case, it would be better to just release the sub-game via the usual procedure.

Re: Crevis - The Minetest Fork
All that was changed in the engine was the name and the credits, I'm not sure the source would be worth posting o.O If you still want me to put the source on here, unfortunately I deleted those files. If the thread is required to be removed then I guess I don't really have an option here :/kaeza wrote:Is this a fork of the engine, or simply vanilla Minetest bundled with a sub-game?

Re: Crevis - The Minetest Fork
Niften with all the respect, but this STILL a ILLEGAL rip-off cause you use a shareware engyne but dont give the credits to the real creator, and place your names like if you have do something.

Re: Crevis - A Minetest Fork
I think I'm going to remove the download link here and make a .zip of the sub-game. I'm sure I'll find a way. I don't want to leave with Minetest on the wrong foot with me.

Uh, yes, this has already been addressed, and Niften is trying his best to open source all that he wrote.jadedtest wrote:Perhaps this has already been addressed, but it's not wrong to make money off of a Minetest fork, or even Minetest.
Minetest is Free Software under the GNU LGPL, and one of the four essential freedoms is to redistribute modifications (or verbatim) copies gratis or for money.
However, your fork must also be Free Software (Well, the engine must be. Art assets, etc, don't have to be. Art can be proprietary.)
In fact, I encourage you to fork Minetest to your heart's content. Please, do so. Just include the source-code, regardless as to whether or not you deem it worth-while.

Re: Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Well, I've stopped using Minetest and wanted to start anew. My rewritten game is near completion and almost ready for Steam Greenlight. ;)hoodedice wrote:Uh, yes, this has already been addressed, and Niften is trying his best to open source all that he wrote.jadedtest wrote:Perhaps this has already been addressed, but it's not wrong to make money off of a Minetest fork, or even Minetest.

Re: Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Post the link to Greenlight :D
Re: Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Kinda... overshot that estimate... by a lot... lol. Just a heads up:Dragonop wrote:Post the link to Greenlight :D
soon = no idea when
specific date = a couple weeks/days from that
very soon = game is almost done but still don't know when it will be released
today or tomorrow = a couple of weeks
Re: Crevis - A Minetest Fork
Though I have a forum link if you would like that? I don't know if it's against the rules to post that or not
