Ah whoops yes, Z-Man. Manuel Moos or something like that. Totally forgot the founder.

Thanks much for the info, and I played the game a bit. Nice work. Unfortunately I don't have the reflexes anymore, but I'll be sure to share this on various browser-game lists.

That’s awesome, I’m working on the browser port and also started playing a little less than 20 years ago when I was a kid. Tank (guruthree on discord) still runs the forums and auths but hasn’t been involved for a long time. Your_mom also doesn’t do dev work anymore, but I played with them just a few days ago! Z-man is the main dev of that project and still puts out a few updates/fixes occasionally.

You can find tank and z-man here https://discord.gg/HqH2KDhu8Z There’s also an irc bridge to the discord but… I don’t know the info for that

Holy smokes, I used to play that game and be friendly with the devs like ~20yrs ago, haha.

"TankProgram" and "YourMom" IIRC?

Huh, had no idea it was open source 🤔

only kind of related, but habitica is an open source gamified habit tracker.

Oh that seems very cool, thanks

Best i can find is QuestPhone, hope it fits you :3

edit: site down, try the github instead =w=

From what i can gather Forest is a bit like game-ified FaceDown?

I remember this game! Fun!

Is it like konkr.io? I got hooked on that one a couple of months ago and I've been looking to scratch that itch again. Iĺl look this one up

Fuck yeah, this was a very cool map, in a very cool game

I'm more of a
Enemy: medium
Size: gigantic
Density: moderate or dense.

it takes some getting used to on how the fuel/cooking system in AoM works

For smelting I almost can accept it, though it still feels a bit odd how ungenerous the fuel is compared to hand-mining stone and unlimited durability (normal) tools. Making charcoal is worse, the firepit has no in/out label like others so I can only assume I hit some hidden inventory input cap and wasted a bunch of wood. Either that, or making charcoal that way is only a side-effect?

I'm always running out of coal/torches, even got to the point of making lanterns but I don't think they cover much more area. The worn lantern is neat, but doesn't last that long for what it does.

Also it's weird to have at least 3 different ways to cook things and then still making soup just by crafting it.

it takes some getting used to on how the fuel/cooking system in AoM works, regarding Repixture you could add sprinting very quickly to it with just Hbsprint mod by tacotexmex or tweak it with also the Stamina Redo by TenPlus1

It's a bit of tonal whiplash trying those one-after-the-other (especially funny that Repixture has hunger but seemingly no sprinting, AoM is the opposite).

I like a lot of ways AoM does things, though I don't really like the fuel/cooking system (charcoal esp.) nor how they handle block movement (pistons esp., though disappointing that ropes/chains/block-welder don't work via the gate system AFAICT, and can only place 1 chain with node placer).

theres Age of Mending (Codeberg) and Repixture (Codeberg)

Yeah, Luanti has an official modding API, which is documented and which doesn't break with every release: https://api.luanti.org/

For Minecraft Java Edition, they promised that a long time ago, but never delivered, so folks still just dick around with the decompiled code.

Yeah, I think for me it (many of Luanti's games) reiterates MC's aspects more than I'd like. (aside from the completely non-MC games, which can be hit-or-miss IMO)

This probably could be fixed, though it's a somewhat-specific laundry list of things (one is less inventory management due to clutter) so I imagine it's unlikely someone else will. I lack motivation, especially lacking a starting point. Although Luanti does seem like it's probably easier to create mods/games for (assuming I haven't missed something with MC, unless you could count data packs but I was gone before that made it to JE).

Okay, we'll remake cube world!

Native controller support is exiting! exciting¡

Luanti plays great on SteamDeck, but setting up the controls has required some experience with Steams controller to keyboard mapping tools.

perhaps reiterate rather than reinvent?
Mind you there are novel concepts.

I guess general purpose game engines are able to support more concepts, so luanti doesn't benefit those cases.

I understand the modular system and world gen possibilites of voxel based games. It is a cool thing..... I just wish people would do something else with it other than just reinvent Minecraft over and over again.

Ai built no thanks

sorry for late response, I'm in iran and very hard to connect to internet and everything, you can contact them in the polytoria forums for feedback.

Man, I played version 0.something back in the early 1990s, on a DEC VAX minicomputer. Good times.
