After three months of development published release luanti 5.11.0, a free cross-platform game engine in the sandbox genre. This engine allows users to create games with station mechanics using various station blocks to build different structures and buildings in a virtual world. The gameplay is determined by the set of mods created in the Lua language. Luanti is written in C++ and uses 3D libraries like Irrlichtmt (Fork irrlicht). The Luanti code is distributed under the LGPL license, while game resources are under the CC by-SA 3.0 license. Ready-to-use versions are available for Linux, Android, FreeBSD, Windows, and MacOS.
The main changes:
- Support for OpenGL 2.0 is now mandatory in Luanti.
- Continued support for BMP images, despite the format being outdated in 2023 due to its rare use.
- The settings menu now opens within the game interface, with some settings requiring a restart to apply changes.
- The online server list menu now includes new buttons for functions like opening the server website.
- Added the ability to edit the location of touch screen control buttons.
- Regular fonts can now be replaced.
- A scrolling strip has been added to the chat console.
