I'm astonished this game actually made it into the press, years after I left the project. Well, a nieche site, but still. It's hard for a FOSS game to get even mentioned.
I think the new name is OK. The "MineClone 2" that I originally chose was admittedly lazy anyway.
It's funny to see the new devs basically want to run away from doing a "perfect" clone as well now. I don't blame them.
I wonder if Repixture (my current project) will one day make it into the press. It's not quite there yet.
