I’ll just quicky throw this in here:
There are now Ubuntu packages available in Launchpad; I’d like to have some people test them:
https://code.launchpad.net/~sebastian-ruehl/+recipe/minetest-c55-daily
https://code.launchpad.net/~minetestdevs/+recipe/minetest-c55-stable
Version 20110424_0 released.
The changelog:
- Small bug fixes
- Item drop multiplication fixed
- HP added (there is no way to regain it though except dying, so damage is disabled by default)
- Added a simple monster which spawns to dark places at map generation time
- Some code refactoring and cleaning (possibly new bugs)
- Smooth lighting with simple ambient occlusion
- Updated main menu
I hope you like it!
Here’s a screenshot of the improved lighting:
I hadn’t even heard of this site before but anyway, somebody added my project to ohloh.
Now, there is one thing I noticed: It says the project is worth of 7 person years of effort and would have cost $402,942 to code from scratch. I do know I have worked pretty hard on this one but doing a job of 7 years in around half a year isn’t bad at all even for me!
Speaking of money, I’ve got around $30 worth of donations as of now. Well… I guess that’s kinda fair… or what do you think? 8)
There have been many requests for a discussion board, so I have now created one, and hosted it myself. I hope it gets lots of users, but not so much that it’ll completely kill my connection. 8-)
I was browsing the log of referrer addresses of my website and stumbled upon this list of many minecrafty game projects:
http://www.gamehalle.de/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=123&pid=565
It seems to list quite a many, some of which I haven’t seen before.
Also a good one is the AlternativeTo page of Minecraft: http://alternativeto.net/software/minecraft
EDIT: Fixed the alternative.to link.
