What is the future for Minetest? Where are we in the game compared to past versions? What are do you want to expect for the next version?
These are 3 questions that are quite interesting because most of us know what we want for the next version/release but yet we don't know what we are even going towards as a game as a whole. Have we really improved from the original release or just added meaning less modifications without improving the base mechanics give to us by celeron and the other original helpers? Do we want more add-ons or improved game mechanics for the future on minetest? What is the end game for minetest or for that fact is there a end game? Will be 0.5 be any different from 0.4 was or is it going to be a continuous loop with same old stuff with just renewed textured every updated to make us think there have been a lot of changes?
What do you guys think? State where you think we are as a game and what you think should be added or enhanced and finally what do you think the future for minetest is???
Personal thought: I think we really haven't improved since 0.3 most of the base mechanics are still the same with some small tweaks and bunch of blocks add...don't get me wrong there have been some nice add-ons but the only big improvement was the minimap but that was the first major thing since the public server list was added at the beginning of 0.4 almost 3 years ago ( quote me if I am wrong ). For the next version I expect no new add-ons, I want absolutely nothing new and a complete updated on the mechanics and look for Minetest to make it appealing for new players and make it more configurable in-game with having to go to the config.txt to change everything. Add some kind of name locking system that is granted to true minetesters... Until we start reforming what we already have I don't think there is a future for Minetest other than the same thing we had 3 years ago and all that is is new blocks, new blocks, new blocks, and o wait more new blocks. -.-
P.S. Don’t criticize for others thoughts I just want to see what everyone thinks :)
