Right I'm going to bite the bullet now :-)
There are already some other Minetest podcasters out there, amongst many other youtubers. But.... I intend to make another Minetest podcast :-P
For this one though, I would like it to be much more interview-focused, showcasing directly from the admins, devs and creators in question:
- * Frequency = monthly
* Duration ~30min tops
* Topics = showcasing -- mods+creators, servers+admins, core developers
* Q+A = around play tips, modding and server maintenance
* Feedback section
Format:
- * Introduction of guest of the month
* what mod/server/core feature they are involved in
* quick interview
** if server some footage of gameplay
*** server admin interview
** if a mod, a fresh world will be opened to demo what can be done with the mod
*** mod creator interview
*** downloadable schems will be made available if applicable
** if core, we'll focus on resolved bugs and upcoming features
* review of news -- releases, notable developments, etc
* Q+A from IRC channel
* feedback
Guest of the month may be the second host on the entire episode.
Any recording date will be announced 1 week in advance. Anyone who joins the IRC channel can ask questions, and they might be put to the guest during the live podcast.
If a mod is involved, a fresh world (always the same seed) will be made available for players to build or survive in (depending on type of showcase).
In case of a building mod, players will be invited to indicate where their builds are for saving.
In case of survival, no protection will be provided, unless otherwise decided as appropriate.
I have an idea of who I want to be the first guest, but if there is anybody you would like to see/hear/nominate, please et me know and I will reach out to them :)
