Fixes #175

@tacotexmex I created this as a branch on the actual repo so that PRs can be made against it

todo

• More descriptions
• In focus images
• Typography
• Social media links
• Links to developer roadmaps

Nice. Maybe ”Other” can be called ”Pitch”?

I’d also like a tagline, an even shorter description with 5-7 words.

Speaking of text, what should the repo description be called?

Minetest, an open source infinite-world block sandbox game engine with support for survival and crafting.

Regarding typography there probably need to be a discussion arround it since it will change appearance. But let’s start off small-scale: what’s your stance regarding typography?

As for myself I think it’s time that Minetest gets its own distinct typeface. I think this is an interesting problem to solve and so I’d be willing to look into it.

I'm starting to think that the Minetest org needs another repo, "meta", for hosting project-specific issues. What do you think?

We're developing a voxel engine/game, not a typeface 🙂

Creating a typeface with a complete character set is a huge amount of work. Most people don't seem to mind our use of Titillium Web so far.

[tacotexmex]

I’m very familiar with the amount of work a typeface needs. I’m not necessarily suggesting drawing from scratch. I just want to highlight a need for a distinct typeface.

You also develop a website, which involves the Minetest brand, which is why I find this interesting.

It’s not about Titillium per, it’s about strengthening the parts that constitutes a coherent recognizable visual identity of which typography is one. Currently, there’s a bunch of different typefaces in the project (including in the client) which does not help.

I assumed that there’s consensus regarding wanting to strengthen the identity, but if not then carry on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Calinou]

@tacotexmex I think we could eventually review the default fonts used in the client, but this issue should be raised on minetest/minetest.

[tacotexmex]

That is good! Does that then mean that this choice of client typeface will dictate the typeface being used on the website?

[Calinou]

@tacotexmex Possibly. In any case, I wouldn't use the current client fonts on the website as they look kind of bland.

I think typography should be left to another PR

[tacotexmex]

Agreed. I’m not even suggesting an ”on-brand” type of font for generic website text, but primarily for headings, buttons and the like.

Fair enough, let’s leave it out of this then.
