i know the pslight sdks are out anyone able and willing to do this would unlock a lot of oppurtunity with minetest. little known fact= games like this are not sold on psn. but are on xbox....... fortresscraft etc.. please someone that knows more than i do look into this!!!:D

This would require porting Irrlicht to PS3 - a pretty herculean task, if I dare say so myself. It's possible, but as I'm already up to my neck in just *learning* how to code, I doubt I'll have time to assist a porting team - between learning and working on a port to PSP (don't ask, I won't tell), I've really bit off more than I can chew.

Then again, just my $0.02

oh thats great news if anyones decides to do this i will help i just cant do it alone.

Im not sure but i had heard that a sdk license for the PS3 cost 30,000 $
Have anyone so much money?

by **bwog** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 13:23

As of late 2007, since that's the latest I can find, it costs 7,500 Euros or $10,250.

or hack it.

by **tinoesroho** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 19:40

True dat - the homebrew scene's a bit dull, but there's life in there yet.

by **Death Dealer** » Wed Feb 22, 2012 21:50

obviously im talking about having a hacked ps3. i have 2:3 and i did say the pslight sdks.

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 05:25

im actually trying to get THatotherdev to help or something of the sort. he has made games way more complex than this for the ps3. this is our best solution:D hope he is cool
it would be freakin sweet to implement SPLITSCREEN:D i will update as soon as i get info

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 17:43

Ok I got some news from Thatotherdev. Here's what he said: /

"You mentioned PSN. Do you want this to be a "legitimate" game that's distributed on PSN, played on PSN and available to people that have an unmodified PS3? Because if so then the conversation ends there. Sorry to crush your dreams but it won't happen. It isn't even debatable.

If you are just looking to make a homebrew game like mine then that's a different thing.

I don't think it would really be possible to make something like that for PS3 using the current open source community made tools. You would need to have a seriously limited draw distance and it would still perform poorly.

It would definitely be possible with the official leaked SDK (which admittedly I have been thinking of going back to). But even then I think you would probably end up needing to do so much work getting it ported that it would be easier to just re write it from scratch. Since it has so few and such simple textures and other reusable assets there is no real reason to tether yourself to it anyways. If you want to make a game with a destructible grid based environment then that's very cool. But I would advise against trying to make a port of a clone.

If you have any specific questions about anything I'll try to be helpful. But I don't think I'm interested in collaborating on this or contributing anything significant for a verity of reasons that I'm not going to bother to get into because I'm sure I probably seem like enough of a jerk already."

So I WILL be starting on ps3 homebrew game like this. Oh coarse like 1000 times better:D anyone that knows scripting and is interested in helping let me know:D
And I might still call it minetest if celeron55 is ok with that:D

by **celeron55** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 18:47

I don't have anything against you trying to make such.

However, if you make it from scratch, don't call it Minetest, because people would confuse two completely different projects to be the same thing. That would not be good, because people would go ask for support from the wrong place and so on.

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 19:34

Inst the name of your program minetest-c55?
I will respect your wish's, probly just run a vote on
Some other names I been thinking of.

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 19:39

And the only reason I would want to name it Minetest is because I don't play infiniminer/minecraft or anything else of the sort. So this game will be my mane influence for this: )

by **Death Dealer** » Thu Feb 23, 2012 19:41

Or Minetest Ps3
Clearly indicating its the ps3 version:3

by **Death Dealer** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 00:50

So it's not psl1ght sdks it will be official leaked sdks.

by jn » Fri Feb 24, 2012 18:18

I would only use the "Minetest" name only if I used the Minetest codebase, as someone else already suggested.

(EDIT: sorry for the truncated post)

by **Death Dealer** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 18:42

I don't know what you would use jn because you didn't finish your sentence. What's posted here IS what's going to be done no offense but definently won't take any advice from newbs to this forum.

by **Jordach** » Fri Feb 24, 2012 19:02

Death, jn had a truncated post, the forum does this, its a known bug.

by **Death Dealer** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 05:46

by **JoseMing** » Sat Feb 25, 2012 17:08

Death Dealer you can make the minetest to ps2 please?

by **Death Dealer** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 00:14

To busy with this remake sorry.

by **Death Dealer** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 00:17

Jn that's not what he said. He said it might cause confusion and I already said call it Mintest Ps3. But I'm probly just come up with my own name.

by **Death Dealer** » Sun Feb 26, 2012 17:32

Progress is being made:D I will put up a YouTube video soon.

by **Death Dealer** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 01:19

ok finally have 3.40 sdks..

by **ShadowNinja_** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 03:28

Short on cash? Here is an idea!! Raise a certain amount of money (lets say 100k for example) then present that to sony or one of the ps3 exclusive companies with a signed petition and you may just get it made. 1 million dollars would most likely be the best possible money goal!

very tempting... but im not a greedy person. i wont people to have game worth playing thats homebrew:D

by **Death Dealer** » Tue Mar 13, 2012 01:19

ok decided on making a Voxel based engine for my port. Ace of spaces would be my other influence on this. so it will be a cross between a voxel based system, with the minetest/ minecraft tool making etc. This should be fun:D
