I thought the way they set up the world was really interesting. I'd think/hope that something like this would be in the real of possibility for Minetest, though I wonder if too user intensive. It reminds me a bit of the way the Voxus game looked. I love how the water goes down from the source as well. I think it is useful to look at for inspiration so that is why I'm posting it :)

Yeah interesting concept. This game suffers from an uneasy mix of blocky abstract voxel game design and HD super-realistic graphics, it would be just as good with simple abstract animal models.

Interesting design. Appearance looks as if Minetest and Scrap Mechanic got mashed together.

I realize it is still in the early stages but, watching the videos..., the game-play is sort of, ummmm wierd?
It would drive me nuts the way the hoe works, etc.. There are other games which have the same sort of feel to them and I don't know why but, it just bugs me.
The concept itself is cool and definitely suits it's target (which seems to be schools/education) especially seeing the stunning price being asked for the education package ~: o
