minus-squareReakDucklinkfedilinkarrow-up20·2 months agoI always thought minetest is a cheap minecraft clone, mainly for testing or smth. So yeah, its a good name change
minus-squareMajorHavoc@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up10·2 months agoYeah. I agree it’s rough to lose existing recognition, but I think the test in the name was hurting adoption quite a bit. When I tried mineTest last, I was thinking, “what the hell, this will amuse me for an afternoon.” I did not expect a feature complete game engine with a better more polished game than vanilla MineCraft.
