Been playing #MineClone2 on #MineTest as I'm on a #RPi. So far I suck, I think the beginning game is harder on MineTest then #Minecraft. But It's sill fun.
Is there a Minetest package similar to Minecraft but doesn't try to clone it?
@doctorwhom Similar but not a clone? That's a hard ask.
Do you think it can be helped by first announcing the #gameplay elements that interest you? Meanwhile, proceed with the thought that these games introduce their own sense of community: contributors, players, viewers. They don't necessarily need all that #Minecraft has to offer. So, here you have it: disassemble every game, find the low-level concepts that you enjoy and find them a way into the #sandbox that you're playing now.
#Minetest reveals itself better with this in mind and most things in #ContentDB are pluggable mods anyway. If you're digging #Factorio style, I suggest looking for inspiration with Minetest games like #NodeCore and mods like #Mesecons, #TechAge, #Digilines. If it's something else, play around with mods on ContentDB by opening "Content" tab in Minetest launcher. Wanna have fun and sense of wonder straight away, while being able to invite your friends or meet new people? Look up servers similar to #Archtec.
Since we are on the cusp of another #PathOfExile League which starts this Friday, I figured it might be time to post this link again. Last year I created a "getting started" post that was largely targeting folks with no POE experience.
-Targeting puts the camera behind you
-Distance is based on target size (bigger = further)
-FoV adjusts when the cam can't move
-Right stick unlocks it
-When unlocked, it frames you + target!
In the last two years the Federation collected information about the existence of the subsystem "Vios". Considering this, the Galactic Federation mobilizes all of its power and embarks on a search for this new menace.
In #NYT's rationale to go after 100s of #Wordle clones, they keep bringing up a new term: "copyrighted #gameplay".
This language is EXTREMELY dangerous. NYT MUST NOT get away with this. Else, other companies will feel motivated to go after ANY #clone or even just game that is "similar enough". It could be their slow death.
This is 100% an attack on #gaming itself as the gaming world was always very derivative.
