01:47 nikaaaa hi, i just thought of a new name for the minetest game  engine, in case the discussion is still open: minesaft.
01:48 nikaaaa it doesn't really mean much, but it sounds funny :p
01:57 big-MAC VoxelCraft sounds like a good name
02:00 cheapie I decided to do a bit more work on this mod, got a few more little bits working: https://cheapiesystems.com/media/2024-04-04%2020-57-06.webm
02:01 Verticen joined #minetest
02:02 cheapie Still needs a COP, car doors, and a few bug fixes before it'll even really be /usable/, plus a lot more after that to get to something resembling "done"

02:20 Mantar VoxelCraft is boring, and makes it sound even more like a generic minecraft ripoff than Minetest does

02:34 big-MAC you arent seeing the big picture, the name being similar to minecraft will act as an interest point for those who dont know and draw them in
02:35 big-MAC has a name not been decided yet? i saw this naming change decision was mentioned months ago
02:43 Mantar devs voted on it recently, no announcement was made
02:45 big-MAC whatever the name is as long as there is either "mine" or "craft" in it then there is hope
02:46 Mantar then "Minetest" is fine, as it has that, and nearly 20 years of building up some semblance of name recognition
02:47 big-MAC why did they want a name change anyways?
02:47 Mantar and I wouldn't be surprised if the devs  voted to keep the name as is, because most of the suggested names were either not any better (like VoxelCraft) or much worse
02:48 Mantar it's been a perennial thing, people say the name is bad, sounds like a poor Minecraft knockoff, and should be changed. there's a forum topic, a github issue, even a parody forum topic where people suggest silly names
02:49 Mantar I wouldn't mind a name change, but only if somebody had come up with something good
02:50 big-MAC well minetest out of the box is already very different from minecraft anyways so people would be put off
02:51 big-MAC because of that
02:51 Mantar pretty much. that's one reason they debundled Minetest Game, it gave a bad first impression.
