I'm hoping my visual guide to making a first Luanti mod will help get people going with this awesome FOSS engine.

(Happy timing, too, as version 5.12.0 was released just three days ago!)

Alright I added a line in my profile:

I have a decade of experience in Minetest CTF.

Maybe someone will employ me given my very high level of expertise.

🎮 SHMUPS fans, rejoice!

Coming August 14, the Toaplan Arcade Shoot ’em up Collection Vol. 1 & 2 brings classics like Zero Wing, Truxton, and Fire Shark to modern consoles—with online leaderboards, quick save, assist modes, and even DIP switch tweaks.

So I finally got some time to experiment with #VoiceTyping for #Luanti. But then I realized both main #MinetestCTF server and #JMA have disabled CSMs.

I asked Nanowolf to enable it and he agreed. LandarVargan hasn't given a reply yet.

Just logged into #PandoraBox #Luanti server and business is good! All my chickens has been sold. Now I've got munny! Since I joined Pandorabox few years ago till now I've been constantly trying to reach 3.5% #uranium. Now I I can buy more hydro generators to add more centrifuges.

Unfortunately, not even a single horse has been sold. Are my prices too high? :/

A screenshot of Luanti(or formerly Minetest) opensource voxel game. The screenshot is from my room in HiFi marketplace on Pandorabox server. There are 6 vendor shops, 3 of which have been sold out. There are still sea turtle, iron block and horses which are not sold out yet.

Just sent my proposal to #NLnet's #ngi0commons to create a #Luanti #game to help with #Mozilla #CommonVoice clips validation.

The deadline is end of the current month. They should reply about the first round in the beginning August. And I should get a reply about the second round mid September.

It's about 300 hours of work, in the worst case. If things go smooth, I should have minimal working version for the White Cane Safety day which is on 15th October. And by end of the November, the first version is ready.

And all these are given that NLnet will give me the funding seeing my project valuable, and also not minding working with someone based in #Iran...

Heey new pinned post time. I still don't know what I'm doing here besides what I say in my profile.

I'm into video games, mainly the weirder, non-commercial ones lately, & whatever strange mods/things people make for games.

-Retro games (w/ consoles I think of PS2 & older or mainly offline hardware but I'm lax about this)
-FOSS games
-Indie games
--Weird games
---Weird stuff people make for games
-DRM free media

A tour of Castle Village in Luanti/Minetest (20th March 2019)

I spent all my mana when I accidentally summoned the Palisades Fire. Probably.

Read less about chaos magic, parapsychological intertwinement with reality, and sheer coincidence.

And read more about my first contributions to the free and open source real-time strategy game #0ad over at #neocities.

Every. Stinking. Time. lol

Anuto TD always wipes the floor with me at level 73.

Video from the same game on #Loops:

Me being utterly destroyed at level 73 🤣

I walked away to relieve myself and my meager Athenian outpost was destroyed, bodies strewn across the small plots of farmland. Indiscriminate slaughter. Livestock, soldier, maid. craftsman, fowl, or horse, Death visited them all before I returned.

Bloody Romans.
