I'm pretty sure there are a lot of creative people in this community who can come up with a more appropriate name.Would it really be fine if a lot of reviews mentioned their dislike of that name? Also, think about potential newcomers who might be put off by it.īesides, changing the name is not as difficult as it seems: If players hate the name, it's an obvious signal to act. So ideally it should be put in the first place. I get it, we all are doing it just for fun in our spare time, but at the end of the day it's the project that brought us together, and I believe everyone wants the best for it. This really rubs a bad spot for the core devs even though surveys suggest that a lot of people hate the "Minetest" name.ĭon't want to sound overly negative, but I'd argue that this is the worst thing that happens in open source projects: putting personal feelings above the project's success, which often leads to some very long-standing issues. Perhaps this project will re-package the Minetest engine into a more sellable version of itself, generating money for the core development. In fact I was bothered by this so much that I created this ticket LibreBlockGame/GameToBeRenamed#1 where naming suggestions can be discussed. This really rubs a bad spot for the core devs even though surveys suggest that a lot of people hate the "Minetest" name. Oh, and can I bikeshed a little about the project name? ) He only played the Minetest game mode which is basically a development test enviroment and not a game (?) It would be really great if we could offer 4-5 really cool game modes out of the box and present them in a good way.Ī german minecraft influencer (Luca) played Minetest and compared it to Minecraft.

Minetest is very similar to Garrys Mod because both are essentially engines with this "do whatever you want" mentality. Also we need high quality game modes and perhaps curate them like GarrysMod (?) Something has to be done about the overall presentation (the main menu is the most obvious and glaring issue) before putting the project on Steam, otherwise it might just drown in negative reviews
