@Ephera Exactly. Luanti is now the best project in the open-source community, but from a spectator’s point of view nobody wants it. “Why bother if we have Minecraft and already Hytale?”
But you have a point. The community is mostly the core of progress.
Just mentioning that the progress of the core is very slow from a spectator’s point of view
Yeah, I believe one of the big things they are working on, is replacing large parts of the technologies that they base on with more modern alternatives. This here changelog does mention SDL, for example. If they’re integrating that fully, it will handle all input. That’s a big change for the codebase, even though the user-facing impact is zero at first. It just ensures that you can keep maintaining and extending the codebase in the future.
And yeah, you don’t need to do that kind of thing in a codebase written from scratch, for obvious reasons. 😅
