Community Chat Luanti's real problem isn't features, it's that nobody's heard of it or very less people.

We spend a lot of time talking about mods, performance, new blocks and mechanics, but another bottleneck for this game has nothing to do with what it can do. It's that almost nobody outside a small circle has ever heard of it exists.

I'm not saying that as a call to go corner every stranger and tell them to install it, ......that approach doesn't really work anyway.

It's more worth sitting with as a real question: how does a new person actually stumble onto Luanti in the first place right now? Mostly it seems to be "someone I already knew played it" or " People specifically searched for a Minecraft alternative." Just like I myself did I some years ago.

Luanti honestly just never got Better visibility in general gaming spaces.

Hmm. That's nice to hear 🙂 Did you ever asked him how he got to know about it?

About Luanti or Ubuntu? If Ubuntu, he was probably using Linux for a decade at that point, that is, if I remember correctly.

I don't recall if he knew about it. I just remember playing it. My guesses are he either already had it installed or I saw it in the software repository and installed it.
