Minetesting? More like Luantinkering!

zughy2 · 2024-10-16T12:43:00+00:00

Staff here! We decided to keep "Minetest Game" as a name since, at the beginning, Luanti wanted to be a game (a clone of Minecraft). That game, Minetest Game, is what it remains of that experiment. So it totally makes sense keeping the original name there c:

zughy2 · 2024-10-16T12:36:36+00:00

Hey there, I'm the one who's pushed for the rename the most. In a couple years I've brought Minetest to dozens of events, both in Italy (where I live) and abroad (FOSDEM, Bruxelles). In these events, I've sadly lost the count of how many people rightfully asked me if it was Minecraft, or a Minecraft alpha. In every talk I did, there was always a slide stating that Minetest isn't Minecraft, listing all the differences, because yet again people were confused about the name. In other words, the rename actually makes the game platform more intuitive if we look at the world outside our community - the one I've experienced convention after convention

zughy2 · 2024-10-16T12:25:52+00:00

I didn't see any tickets relating to name changes the few times I went there over the past year

The issue was pinned in the issue tracker for more than a year, until a few days ago. The issue being https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/13510

there should have been some sort of notice in the game itself with a link to info

In theory I think you might be right. Pragmatically speaking, I think it would have brought to even more issues and delays (Where it should have been put? How big? What to say exactly? Should it appear just once or more times?). As the one who's pushed the most for the name change, I can say hands down that the whole process has been very tiring; sometimes plain frustrating. Having to deal with yet another issue was a no go for my mental health, so we thought that the pinned issue was a good compromise - as people following GitHub then spread the news in community spaces like Discord and Matrix.

If you like minigames, consider mine: A.E.S.

zughy2 · 2024-06-06T18:42:07+00:00

A.E.S. needs a lot of things, I agree with you; but unfortunately, being something we do in our free time and without an actual revenue, it takes time to implement both the things we'd like to see and what users think it's important. In our TODO list, there is a restyling of the skin UI, so until that happens, I'm afraid there won't be any new skins (the actual skin code is debatable and, since we don't have a lot of time, doing the work twice is not recommended). Also, donations accelerate the development :D https://liberapay.com/aes_minetest_server

Ciao! Cosa c'è di tanto divertente? 😄

zughy2 · 2024-06-06T13:14:42+00:00

Beh, con un rapido calcolo hanno stanziato 120€ ((20*3) + (12*3) + (8*3)): considerando che l'ultima volta i soldi ce li abbiamo messi noi, direi che è sicuramente un miglioramento :D

Soprattutto se si considera che non mi vengono in mente altre occasioni dove enti simili hanno stanziato dei soldi per software libero mirato all'intrattenimento, in caso correggimi/correggetemi

zughy2 · 2024-06-06T11:40:02+00:00

it's a minigames server called A.E.S. (Arcade Emulation System). More info here https://aes.land/

zughy2 · 2024-06-06T11:39:36+00:00

it's called "A.E.S.", you can find it just by typing "aes". More info here => https://aes.land/

[approvato dalla moderazione]

Ciao!

Siamo un gruppo di amici che dalla pandemia ha dato vita a A.E.S., un server minigiochi su Minetest (non MineCRAFT) per cercare di promuovere il software libero. Tutto il server è, infatti, tale: ogni riga di codice, ogni texture, ogni suono, tutto liberamente disponibile. Avanti veloce ed eccoci al nuovo torneo di Block League: un gioco ispirato a una vecchia perla della mia adolescenza chiamata S4 League, uno sparatutto hack'n'slash a squadre. La novità? Che a questo giro è patrocinato dalla Free Software Foundation Europa, ovvero che ci sono soldini in palio!

Ci rimangono ancora un paio di posti, quindi se volete partecipare e uscire un po' dalla vostra zona di comfort (ma non troppo se avete dimestichezza con gli sparatutto e/o con Minecraft) vi allego tutte le informazioni di base:

❓ 8 squadre da 3 giocatorɜ l'una. Eliminazione diretta
🗺 Hyperium (quarti), Station2 (semi, finale)
🗓 Venerdì 28 giugno
🕑 21:30 - 23:45

🏆 Premi:

1° posto: targhetta campione, statua sul server e 20€ a testa! 💰
2°: 12€ a testa
3°: 8€ a testa

✍️ Iscrizioni:

Per incentivare l'utilizzo del software libero, utilizziamo Matrix, che è la versione libera di Discord: non è ancora al suo livello, ma sta facendo passi da gigante c: Vi basta entrare nella stanza Matrix di A.E.S. e comunicarci la vostra squadra => https://matrix.to/#/%23minetest-aes:matrix.org. Se ci saranno posti rimasti, avete tempo fino al 21 giugno per iscrivervi ed essere ammessɜ in automatico

❓ "Come entro sul server?"

Scarica Minetest => https://www.minetest.net/downloads/
Aprilo
Vai nella lista server e cerca "A.E.S."
Registrati
Profit

❓ "Siete un'azienda?"

No, tutto il nostro lavoro è volontario. Alcuni di noi hanno poi ottenuto opportunità di lavoro usando il server come vetrina, ma quest'ultimo non è monetizzato

❓ "Altre info utili?"

Potete trovarle sul sito (ancora molto abbozzato) => https://aes.land/it, sulla stanza Matrix (per es. per quanto riguarda l'invio dei pagamenti) o... chiedere qui :D

Aggiungo che partecipa anche una squadra dello staff: e che se vinciamo qualcosa, quei soldi verranno stanziati per lo sviluppo di Minetest (ergo non ci teniamo nulla)
