Oh thank god. Minetest was the worst name, and the game is actually pretty cool. It definitely deserves a cool name, and Luanti sounds cool.
I don’t really like the new name yet, but it’s a lot better than Minetest so I really can’t complain.
I actually like the new name. It seems like when a community project renames it always is something even worse than the original name. This is a great name that doesn’t sound silly to say out loud.
How are you guys pronouncing this?
Personally, I’ve found it sounds kind of nice when said like “Loon tea”.
It just looks like “Loo wan tee” to me.
Edit: Actually, just read the article, and considering the name Luanti is a mix between the Finnish word “creation” and the LUA programming language; and I’m preeetty sure LUA is pronounced “loo-wah” or “lew-ah”, I think the Luanti pronunciation is more likely to be “loo-wun-tee”.
It’s finnish, so like it’s written. Foreign concept for english speakers, I know.
It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.
How is the word pronounced though?
I’m a finn, so the only advice I can give is that it’s pronounced like luanti in finnish.
Not very useful, I know, sorry. Nau ai häv tu kou präktis mai rälli inglish.
Is this an out-of-season April Fools’ joke?
No, it is something that has been discussed for quite some time. No one could decide on a good name until now
One could argue they still haven’t
Since Minecraft blew up with 12 year olds using potatoe hardware I think the criteria required would be:
-
12 year old thinks name is great and can spell it
-
it can run on a potatoe
Who wants to volunteer to collect this data
-
Why is this news??
Why isn’t this news? They are changing the name which is a big deal
I hope this is a joke cause Luanti sucks, stick with the already well known Minetest.
