I spent months working on a mod for this game it it was never approved :/

Luanti's great. I've undertaken to build Luanti mods (well, games, really, but of course games are mostly made of mods, and I'm talking about making games of almost exclusively mods I made myself plus a few from the official game) a couple of times, but haven't followed through on it. I ought to work on that stuff again at some point.
