I tried it for 30 minutes. Lots of improvements need to be done, but Open source means people will eventually start to make lots of mods and improvements you could include inside.
There is two things I think you should mod;
First, allowing the use of the arrow keys.
I don’t get the point into using letters. It must be a cultural thing, I never saw any European PC game using letters keys, always the arrow keys.
And getting used to use the keys… Wow. I can’t stop hitting the arrows keys when playing C55.
I don’t mind if the game come with WASD, as long as you can use the arrow keys.

And second, allowing the change of the key ingame.
It’s a bit boring to quit the game everytme just because you don’t remember which key do what.

Anyway, I’ll keep an eye on Minetest C55. There is a lot of work to do something as good as Minecraft actually is, but it certainly can be done ;3

And what a pleasure to see Minetest running on my old laptop . Dell D410, and goddamit Intel 910/915 GPU. Minetest run at 10 FPS, but with all the graphical options on.
Not smooth, but playable correctly.
Minecraft 1.6 was shaggy even on low options, and 1.7 doesn’t work on this GPU :/

May be you should allow users to configure the movment keys, even ALL keys.
“WASD” is ONLY for qwerty keyboard.

And you should, again, try (not vital ;) ) to support original maps and/or server (i.e. : playing on a minecraft server with your client or import an minecraft map to minetest c55).

Well I was about to say Reddit, but I see there is one already set up. You should just link to that on the site and tell people to post ideas and bugs there. Seem to work wonders for minecraft.

There seems to be amazing potential for texture packs as an image of nearly any size works. here is an example texture pack I made: http://www.mediafire.com/?ovh0oxt0n0oii8t
you can just back up the data folder and then drag and drop these in. I made the images 512×512 because 1024×1024 wouldn’t work for me.

gnarvin (and other people too): Some people have suggested me to set up a forum, but there is one problem with that: I can’t host it myself because it’d probably cause too much traffic. I’ve already set up quite much all that my server and connection can handle.

So, go ahead and suggest some dependable free forum hosts.

Hey I was just running around in your game, and first I want to say Great Job. Now I just want to run through some of the bugs I encountered. When crafting if I’m making torches and I click the torches being made then left click where I want them in the inv then I get 8 torches (twice the amount your suppose to get, right click gives you 5 torches( 1 more then your suppose to get). Also if you click a spot thats already occupied by accident it just replaces the item.

Also I had some wired graphic glitches, when my mouse would go over certain spots in the terrain than I would get these weird black lines all over my screen.( I could go back and get some screen shots or record a short video if you would like to see it in more detail.

IMO the unlimited up and down distance is a bit much, I personal liked being able to reach the bottom and tops of the earth, tho I do think you should set them higher then minecraft.

Sounds would be awesome too.

Thats all I can remember off the top of my head, but great job so far tho, keep up the great work.

Ps – A forum would probably be a big help for reporting bugs and what not.

v3t: There indeed are some problems in crafting – I will try to fix them before the next release.
