minus-squareDrDystopialinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down2·1 month agoNot a fan of the name. So it’s a lua game? Ok.
minus-squarestyle99@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down1·1 month agoIt’s always been a Lua-powered game. They’re just making it more in-your-face.
minus-squareDrDystopialinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·1 month agoSure, but I think it’s better to make people think of Minecraft style gameplay than Lua programming when mentioning the name.
minus-squarenintendiator@feddit.cllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoIt makes snese they want to distance from the Minecraft name for that. Engendered annoying “but muh Minecraft” expectations, and there’s already the Mineclone2 aka Voxelibre “subgame” for grabbing that attention.
minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 month agoEh, they could easily change the justification to “intentional modification of a Finnish word for stylistic reasons.” I think the name is decent, though not a fan of shoehorning Lua in there.
