so... we decided to add the name of the programming language we use instead?
- kragen 2y agoIt seems like a pretty reasonable choice when thinking about Luanti as a game engine instead of a game. If someone is choosing a game engine to write a game in, one of their most significant considerations is likely to be what programming languages are supported, so highlighting Lua in the name of the engine is not a bad idea.
- Dalewyn 2y agoI think it's very wise to market your product on something people might actually care about. Free/Libre is a fine philosophy, but as a selling point it has had a very disappointing history.
