Luanti is a massively exciting game development platform, given it is open source it actually delivers on the dream at the heart of Minecraft that got everyone so optimistic about the potential benefits to kids from sandbox video games that empower them to creatively express themselves, socialize (on a platform not owned by a US tech company) and learn to program organically.

Our users have reported up to 10 times higher FPS in some situations.

This release contains many other rendering clean-ups and improvements that should make Luanti run better and put it in a nicer state for future work.

This sounds really exciting. When I was testing Luanti before, I was finding the performance bad enough to give me motion sickness. I might give it another shot now, since its been a while.
