Minetest - Autralopithecus
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
A sub game for [Minetest][minetest].
|
|
|
|
The long term goal of Australopithecus is to provide a vast, fun to explore
|
|
world that is hard to survive in. The player should be dumped into a wild world
|
|
that does not forgive any mistakes, leaving the camp and going into
|
|
the wilderness should always be an adventure.
|
|
|
|
The main sources of inspiration are [Minecraft][minecraft],
|
|
[Dwarf Fortress][dwarf-fortress], [Don't Starve][dont-starve],
|
|
[Diggles][diggles] and similar games.
|
|
|
|
[Australopithecus][australopithecus-wiki] is an extinct genus of hominids that
|
|
lived 4 to 2 billion years ago.
|
|
|
|
|
|

Fonts

|
|
|
There is a font that is distributed with the game which is suggested to be used.
|
|
Here is the configuration that is suggested:
|
|
|
|
# The font path is relative to the minetest executable, which might need
|
|
# to be adjusted.
|
|
font_path = ../games/australopithecus/mods/core/fonts/CatV_6x12_9.ttf
|
|
|
|
# We are using a small shadow.
|
|
font_shadow = 1
|
|
|
|
# Which is slightly transparent.
|
|
font_shadow_alpha = 192
|
|
|
|
# Suggested font sizes are 21 and 27, depending on your display.
|
|
font_size = 21
|
|
|
|
# Last but not least, make sure that freetype fonts are enabled.
|
|
freetype = true
|
