Mindblowing
I come late to the reviews train 'cause in the past there was a bug that made it unplayable for me :(
I essentially agree with everything that has been said already. I really love to see Luanti used in a fresh new way, especially since it's also actually fun to play! It has BOTH polished graphics/sounds and a fun gameplay - even if simple.
So I will keep it short and just put a well deserved thumbs up!
Lifesaver
I made Fantasy Brawl's controls HUD with this and it made it much less painful. Have been using it for years now and it always worked well (apart from the mild inconvenience caused by
formspec_astslow parsing of strings, but if you use the ast directly it is not a problem anyway)Have used this for quite a while
As the title says, I've been using this for quite a while but never found the time/remembered to review this. Not much to say, it does what it says and does it intuitively. Without this making the HUD for Fantasy Brawl (converted with formspec_ast) would have been a nightmare
Thiese are freaking cool
I am glad I discovered about this mod 'cause, even tho I'll personally not need it much, the particles effects in here are super cool! I spent so much time just trying them all and being like: 😮 Didn't look much at the code but I saw that <5.14 clients were mentioned so performance issues should have been considered, but regardless even just the amount of dedication to make all these cool effect is enough for a thumbs up!
Very useful
It allows for mods to interact with the player state in a flexible way. If you want to make a mod, and it modifies some player's shared property, I highly suggest doing it with (or supporting)
player_monoids. It's also good for mods having complex states combinations with a lot of potential modifier that would easily conflict.Mostly useful on a simple singleplayer
The physics speed modification doesn't use
player_monoids, making it incompatible with other mods changing the speed. For some reason it runs every globalstep (if it's done to make sure that the speed doesn't get overwritten, player monoids covers that too). Also, the fly state detection is very simple (if you fall it thinks you're flying).The mod description is fancier than the code, and the mod does only thing so one would expect it to do it well. If you only need to change your speed in a very simple server this could work, but so would a Chatgpt query nowadays basically, so thumbs down.
Good mod
I recently discovered it while setting up automatic CI tests for my "Skills & States" mod. I had tried another one, got disappointed, and thought, "Great, yet another mod I have to make myself". Then I found this one that just makes sense and works. I haven't tried it out thoroughly, but the API seems flexible enough for any reasonable Luanti test scenario. So, thank you.
Amazing mod
I essentially agree with other people. This is a game changing mod allowing users to make maps for your own server without the need of giving them building permissions (in non-survival servers). The fact that there is an associated website makes it even more mindblowing.
I tried so hard... a̶n̶d̶ ̶g̶o̶t̶ ̶s̶o̶ ̶f̶a̶r
Wow for the cutscenes (even tho sound was missing?), but... I couldn't get past the first room. The game doesn't really introduce you to any mechanics but breaking specific things, and that doesn't seem the way to go given that I just found myself trying to hit every node...
Simple and cute
The game is pretty much what the description says, and it is enjoyable for what it is. With some further polishing and a few more elements, this could be even funnier and hold attention longer.
I’m not entirely sold on the cow shooting automatically, it feels like it takes away some agency. I also felt the hitboxes were a bit unclear; there were times I took damage without feeling like I actually collided with anything - even though I'm aware that Luanti not allowing to rotate hitboxes doesn't help much. Plus, the enemies being simple cubes breaks the immersion a little, though I assume that's a Jam compromise.
On the other hand, I love the cow model and the 'maculated' titles' UI style. Also, good attention to detail making the cow semi-transparent when looking directly below so it doesn't obstruct the view.
Overall, nice game!
Polished and thoughtful Luanti game
I’m not really into puzzle games, but I decided to try this one since it had so many good reviews. Even though I haven’t finished it yet, I think it’s well made and definitely above Luanti’s usual average quality.
I really like the sound design, and the UX is surprisingly good: rotating mirrors is more intuitive than I expected thanks to the arrow overlay, and the pirate sense is actually useful in tight or disorienting areas. I also like that the ship itself works as the main menu; it makes everything feel more immersive, even if it’s a bit less straightforward than a standard menu.
The accessibility options, like patterns on lasers, are a thoughtful touch. The tutorial levels are simple and clear, and the mechanics feel intuitive: not too many, not too few. I’m not a puzzle expert, but the level design seems solid so far, and the difficulty curve feels reasonable. Any issues that might show up in later levels seem like they’d be easy to tweak.
Visually, both the UI and textures are mostly coherent. I’m not a huge fan of the font nor of some of the textures and color choices (a lot of the shading and contrast feels a bit off or too flat), but overall it works, and I do really like the custom hotbar.
The detailed in-game credits are another cool and considerate detail, they make it clear that the author has put a lot of effort into this.
Overall, it’s just nice to see a complete, polished, well-thought-out game on Luanti. We really need releases like this to keep the content ecosystem alive and growing.
Good job!
The animation/pose doesn't look good
I don't know if this is what it's supposed to do, but it just makes me become Michael Jackson: https://i.imgur.com/J8xb7Dv.mp4. If so, I think it's better not to override the default animation at all.
A collection of non-synergizing mods
It's basically Minetest Game with some procedural dungeons (nothing incredible, stacked empty tight mazes with no rewards or anything interesting until you get to the last floor), and added mobs and weapons. Art style of the added content is programmer-level, and sound design of things tends to be poor (bad quality of SFXs, weird sounds max hear distances, and so on...).
(Luanti 5.11) I don't know whether it's normal or not, but shooting at mobs with fireguns, crossbows, or everything that relies on entities collisions doesn't work: they take no damage. So the epic fights are not epic at all for me, and that should be the mod's priority according to the title :\ (also, as a sidenote, Minecraft has a mod with the same name, and the screenshot suggested that it also had the same function, but I got very disappointed in learning that it was not the case - idk if the author is aware of that).
So from what I experienced, this should have been a modpack at best, thumbs down
Good to show localization info in-game
Such a handy library! I love how it simplifies getting country names and flags with just a few functions, and using ISO alpha-2 codes makes it super intuitive. This could be really useful for projects that need a to show localization info in-game.
Love the collections!
Fantastic mod, it allows to neatly organize skins into collections which are displayed in an aestethically pleasing way, and with a simple and well-thought UI. I also love the tiering system which makes it possible to create things like legendary skins!
Really like the animation
I love the animation and they are very easy to use, especially during the Pride month!
Very useful
It's very useful because it tells you how much time each function takes. Thanks to this I've been able to optimize my mod's performances by a lot :D
Very funny
Such a lovely minigame!
Love this game
I have so much fun whenever we organize a tournament on the AES server :D
Seems very promising
Callbacks are soo handy, keep working on this 😃!
The best cartoony non-pixel-art texture pack
While not perfect in my opinion (e.g. I don't really like the leaves) it has some really good looking textures. I like the fact that it's not pixelated: sometimes people want to try something different or just don't like the minetest "noisy" pixel art.
Good job👍
Useful
It's useful for maintenance.
Funny!
It has room for improvements, but it has been made for a game jam after all. I hope this will be further developed and polished improving UI and animations, and adding powerups - just like the original game.
Very cool!
It is very easy to use and seems to work quite well. Good work!
I'd love to play a city builder game on MT if there were more gameplay
There's not really a lot of gameplay and the tutorial isn't shown right away, but I love being able to fly above my little city and interact with it: it is waay more immersive than just clicking on the buildings (as it happens in classic city builder games); I can imagine how funny it would be to fly on people/vehicles walking on the streets. It also has some good-looking assets. I hope this game will be further developed, 'cause right now there's not enough content to play around with.
Simple but needed
This mod, basically, does what /msg should do by default, but you can customize colours :D
Great mod!
A definitely needed mod, players feel more alive :D
Finally parties!
A simple but needed mod
Custom buttons and icons, oh yeah!
Clearly inspired by Minecraft minigames' servers, but much more customizable
Great texture pack!
Well, sometimes less is more :)
Great lib!
It saved me the immense effort of having to create an arena management system from scratch :D
