lovr VS Minetest

I haven't used many engines, but I've been programming some simple games with LÖVE [0] and (to a lesser extent) LÖVR [1] and like them both.

But maybe not real game engines, as you need to do quite a bit of work by yourself. I guess it depends what your definition is of a game engine.

not to mention there's LÖVR as well if you want to 3D

As for your question - yes, it's possible to develop for the Quest. The website has information on how to do that.

lovr.org - VR game engine with lua

I'll add LOVR (https://lovr.org/), the 3D analog to LOVE. Haven't used it personally so ymmv.

If you are into VR, I'd try lovr.org. It allows you to build VR apps with just lua code.

Personally I found LÖVR [0] easy to use, based on Lua.

Minetest - Minecraft-inspired voxel game engine. C++

Been there, done that.

Nothing beats industrial Minecraft (in it's prime, which it isn't in atm as far as I konw) IMO.

Not even close, when considering the ability to add magic/farming/computer stuff.

Though Minetest[0] has some pretry cool packs.

Minetest (version 5.8.0): Near infinite world block sandbox game

It is now available on the official GitHub repository: https://github.com/minetest/minetest/releases/tag/5.8.0

Minetest

If you're interested, I'd recommend checking out MineTest. It's more of an engine than a game but a very good example of what this could be like.

Microsoft showing it's totalitarian real character again. So happy that Minetest[1] exists and gives that warm Open Source glow, just knowing that your using Microsoft free software and it works fine on Linux too.
