I’m alive!

Just thought to note that I am currently focusing on things other than Minetest.

I will be keeping an eye on important stuff, hosting the website and fix horrible bugs, if such pop up.

I have no idea when I will continue my work on Minetest itself, but based on past hiatuses, I will after some time. (weeks? months? no idea.)

I encourage people to continue with a backwards-compatible fork, if they feel like developing. Notify me and I might post about it in here. When I am back, I will consider merging (some of) it upstream.

Here is the latest development snapshot, for those needing it. It has some known bugs, but mostly works just fine: http://c55.me/blog/?p=1047

Also, here is a build of the latest source, with a few bugs fixed; it’s a slower mingw version though: http://files.minetest.net/packages/nightly/minetest-0.4.dev-20120408-a35e4bd-win32.zip

    Can you fix this.Whenever you update minetest,I download it and play the newest version.The problem is that I lose the world I created before.Can you make some kind of update button.

    My comment which I have posted on May 6th, 2012 at 09:01is still “awaiting moderation”, so I post its edited version which will hopefully pass through spam filters.

    Please checkout this fork: http://github.com/jordan4ibanez/minetest . And also this one: http://github.com/MiJyn/BlockPlanet . lkjoel did a lot of work and most of his commits are really good. IMHO, his commits should be merged in the mainstream.

    It’s stupid to pause it before 0.4 is released.
    I will definitely not continue it, because I do not really know C++ and have a 3D RPG (indiedb.com/games/kelgar) to work on.

    Have you ever heard of voxlap engine? It has very little requrements for system – not like Minetest which runs at max 9 fps :). Maybe you could give it a try? Just an idea. Of course, blocks don’t have textures, but it is possible to overcome it with kv6 models; it has lightning (and dynamic one won’t lag i guess). Maybe it is even possible to edit that Voxlap engine to allow almost infinite maps.
    Here’s the engine creators’ site http://advsys.net/ken/voxlap.htm
