minetest changes name to Luanti
minetest changes name to Luanti
After more than a year of public and internal discussions, we're ready to announce our new name!
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
MinetestLuanti 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?
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.
Will this community rename itself too?
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 (!luanti@lemmy.ml and !luanti@sopuli.xyz) and they're empty, none of the other Minetest-related communities renamed either.
Renamed it. Sorry for the late reply.
