PRESS RELEASE 2017-09-13

Minetest 0.5 has begun development!
===================================

The open source modding and community focused multiplayer block sandbox engine Minetest (https://minetest.net) has merged the first big changes in its 0.5-dev branch on GitHub (https://github.com/minetest/minetest).

Breaking changes include a move from the C++03 language standard to full C++11, continued testing and expansion of client-side modding APIs and clean up of accumulated compatibility code for faster future development.

Minetest 0.0.1 was originally released in October 2010, making this the 7th year of development. Minetest takes cross-platform compatibility seriously and hadn’t yet moved to C++11 due to missing official support from Debian GNU/Linux. Following release of Debian 8, Minetest moves to C++11, with all features of the language standard taken into use.

The tagline of Minetest at this point is “Wait, is it an engine or a game?”, and we have no answer. Reaching the founder Perttu “celeron55″ Ahola for an answer results in weird horn and fart noises.

Minetest consists of a native core written in C++, on top of which content is written in Lua and published as independent releases. Minetest can be played and developed for fun, and welcomes contributors to all of its components.

The Minetest community can be found on the official Minetest discussion board at forum.minetest.org (https://forum.minetest.org/), and a changelog of the continuing 0.5 changes can be found on the Minetest developer wiki (http://dev.minetest.net/Changelog#0.4.16_.E2.86.92_0.5.x_.2830_Aug.29).

I’m posting that in an another blog as this server can’t handle that many images. Enjoy!

This visual/kinetic/cinematic/whatever novel series called “Fault” is turning out to be fucking great:

And there is a totally awesome voice-acted playthrough of the first one here:

It’s made in Ren’Py, for those interested.

I made a video in an experimental format where I do something and comment in Finnish, in realtime with minimal cuts.

It’s kind of vlog, but not quite, and kind of how-to, but not quite. If it works for some reason, it’s probably because it’s a form of calming entertainment that isn’t so common these days. Everybody just cuts and talks all the time. I won’t.

This one has subtitles too. I might not make subtitles in the future because making them took like three hours for this one. It doesn’t seem to be worth it. But do tell what you think.

Guys. What the fuck now again? This is the craziest thing I have heard in YEARS!

The sole reason why I, and many others, use Firefox, are precisely these proper UI extensions that XUL allows.

I don’t understand. Please stop, Mozilla.

Opera turned into a bad Chrome clone some years ago. Look at it now. There’s nothing left.
