I love that you're doing this!

Just want to ask you to send the pic to me and I'll upload it to the actual server, instead of using photobucket or something like that.

Good luck with the contest!

Sax

Choosing a Medieval font to that is pretty cool!
But what about Minecraftia (Minecraft font), or is that too similar?

I would recommend using fog while taking screenshots like that, but putting it quite far; use the + and - keys to adjust it larger than the game would make it otherwise. Not having any far fog makes the game look cheap and incomplete.

I picture is not enough!
Maybe you could make a short slidshow with different pics.

My submission

It's not the best, but maybe one of those for a slideshow.

it needs to be cropped before you do that. and the font is to high up in the corner. dont worry about the text because i will be doing it. just post screenshots. and today will be it for this so post the EPICNESS ^.^

I think the pic should be more mining related. Maybe an actual mine shaft showing some minerals, and the rails.

by **Death Dealer** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 16:45

ya i was wonting some that kind of differentiate from the sunset screnshots, maybe minerals as you said or mesecons contraptions.

by **Jordach** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 16:48

Maybe some AWESOME PIXEL ART BY ME?!

by **Roflo** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 17:47

Took C55's advice to make fog part of the ambience and redid the shot:

Then I did a take on the beach:

Then I looked for a nice spot to take a night sky shot. Thought this jungle clearing would be a nice place:

Anyway.. DeathDealer, I think the idea of having several images (slideshow / picture-of-the-day / whatever) is a good stance.
You can display different "points of view".

by **Death Dealer** » Tue Apr 03, 2012 17:50

i really like the picture-of-the-day idea but its probly gonna have to be picture of the month.

Hey guys,

While this is an awesome idea, I think we'll just stick with having one picture up there permanently. Changing it every day/month is going to get to be a huge hassle for me and I honestly don't have the time to dedicate to doing that.

I'm fine if you want to change the homepage picture (it's admittedly not very good, was from I started playing minetest and was building the website) but you guys are making this into a lot of unnecessary work very quickly.

Also the new picture needs to be the same size/aspect that the old one is, just so the composition of the homepage isn't changing.

Thanks for understanding,
Sax

this is off topic but you should start doing the servers page of the fansite, just saying.

by **Death Dealer** » Wed Apr 04, 2012 00:52

the work load for the site is tremendous, everything will get done. And this isnt the only thing i got going on lolmancuba, i have a life and friends to. so give me some time ok.

I was just saying, and true it must be pretty hard if your programming the site with codes. Unless your doing the stuff like on the Make-A-Free-Website-Today stuff

it easy to add stuff, no coding. theres just so much. something like 150+ post need to be added not including brand new stuff and servers. and adding the crafting section witch has labeled items for every item in the recipe. its alot of content.

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd let you know that the top texture packs, top mods and top server pages are up now, so you can see the top things you guys have rated so far!

Links for the lazy as always :)

http://minetest.com/top-texture-packs/
http://minetest.com/top-mods/
http://minetest.com/top-servers/

I'm actually amazed we already have 50+ texture packs up and rated already, you guys work quick!

Let me know any suggestions you may have

Another image..
.. a few hours ago, c55 added deserts to mapgen; so I went scouting for locations:

by **Death Dealer** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 15:28

Very cool roflo

by **Roflo** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 16:01

Another tweak to deserts on github says "Tune desert beaches"..

Saxony, you sure we can't convince you to use multiple images? ;)

I believe Wordpress themes twentyten and twentyeleven already have that feature.

by **Death Dealer** » Sat Apr 07, 2012 16:50

Maybe another image. Not a new image on regular basis. And I have some creative control right now and contact to saxony. So I will ask him.
