    I'd rather use a Mozilla language than a Google language. That sounds dumb when I say it, but they have to much of a stranglehold on everything. Thank you for the suggestion, though.

    Jeez. Python is a monster. I was going to learn Rust anyways, but this gives me even more incentive.

    I had similar thoughts, but I still thought it would generate discussion so I posted it.

    Pixelfed is pretty great. It's like Instagram but it's...

    • Free
    • Open source
    • Self-hostable
    • Privacy respecting
    • Has a great Interface
    • Federated/decentralized (if you don't know that is, watch this. It explains how Mastodon works, but also applies to Pixelfed. Mastodon is like Pixelfed, but it's a Twitter alternative instead of an Instagram alternative.)

    Great video! I love linguistic stuff. It's so interesting. That's definitely one I might use.

    That's a good name. That means "danger" right (I looked it up)?

    Since they're both Q3 engine, it would be cool if you made Wolf:ET maps / mods compatible with your game. There's a gigantic volume of community-made things out there you can use. It would sure save you a lot of work!

    That's a great idea! I'll see if the maps can be made compatible, but I don't think I'm going to use them for the base game, I want to make new assets. I'm also not sure if they'll work with the gameplay, but I'll try.

    Maybe call it Adlernest (Adlerhorst) or Braundorf (Braunsdorf)?

    Those are cool names. How did you come up with them?

    Got it. I just update the post with more details.

    If you do really want one, though, some detail would help a lot. If you have an idea for what makes it different or what it's about, you can get something specifically relayed to your project and not just a generic reference to WW2.

    It's going to be kind of like Day of Infamy, if you've ever played it. You're going to be working through the enemy's base (Axis or Allies, depending on which side you choose) with your friends, trying to complete an objective. You can either be stealthy, go guns blazing, or anywhere in between. There's also going to be TDM, where you either attack or defend against another team of players. I'm hoping to increase longevity by making it completely open source. (I'm going to edit the description with all of this.)

    That is always a problem. It is free though, so that should help.

    There's a mod for it called MineClone 2. It makes it exactly like Minecraft.

    Have you considered running a Minetest server? It's a lot less heavy on system resources. It's also open source.

    Maybe a TS Server or Minecraft
