Hooray!

It was past time to drop the word "test" from the name of this very complete game engine.

“Luanti” is a wordplay on the Finnish word luonti (“creation”) and the programming language ~~Minetest~~ Luanti employs for games and mods, Lua.

What a lovely name!

I just tried this the other day, it was quite complete and fun to play!

What's the game in the blog background?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's just Minetest Game: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Minetest/minetest_game/

It shows the coniferous forest biome and the recently introduced god rays, if that's what throws you off.

Are you sure? Maybe its just a texture pack then.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Oh right, I didn't even really register the texture pack, because I play with that one a lot: https://content.minetest.net/packages/Zughy/soothing32/

?

I want to know the particular game in Minetest. I already know the engine is Minetest.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

literally "minetest" is the name of game

It is but that isn't what I am talking about. I'm looking for the Minetest game in the screenshot. Minetest is just a game engine so you need to install a game(s) to use it.

@someoneFromInternet I think the person wondered which subgame it was since it doesn't look like default mtg

Will this community rename itself too?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I think the moderator of this community is inactive and there's only one so it probably won't, apparently there is two communities with the new name only ([email protected] and [email protected]) and they're empty, none of the other Minetest-related communities renamed either.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Renamed it. Sorry for the late reply.
