I assume that you mean a machinima or similar series such as "Aphmau" in Minecraft.
May I share my favorite stand-alone video of that type done in
#Minetest ? This video was a
#Christmas gift to me on December 25, 2015:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xLFZSouTZkIn an odd note, the video linked above led to the disintegration of the original Minetest project in 2017.
Maciej Kasatkin, one of the most important figures in Minetest since the start, had faked his death in 2016 because Vanessa Ezekowitz -- feel free to Google her -- wouldn't fork with him. No silly jokes, please.
But Maciej surfaced at Christmas 2017 and tried to fix the project. It was hopeless. Don't let anybody tell you that online situations aren't real and interesting enough despite pretend identities and the other shenanigans that go on.
However, the disintegration of the old Minetest project is another story.
The Christmas 2015 video is pretty good considering that the lead, Sparky, was only 15 at the time.
Sparky wrote the script and played the music himself. My understanding is that he's continued to work on multimedia projects as an adult. Note: Sparky and I haven't talked since the events of 2017, but Jake, one of the leads in Final Minetest, communicated with him in 2024.
An unexpectedly large group, including adults as well as teenagers, was involved in the Christmas 2015 video. If you watch the credits, too, you'll see that the video is a nice gesture on the part of the group. I'll probably never have something similar to this happen again.
Regarding a Minetest "TV" series:
"Aphmau", "Undertale: The Musical", and "The Last Kids on Earth" are possible models.
If somebody actually did this, Final Minetest would be willing to try to add features and/or APIs to accommodate the work.
Whether it's buildings made of Jell-O (tm) or water cubes that fish can live in, spaghetti mansions with roof-a-toni pasta for roofs, or post-apocalyptic toxic mutation lakes and sewer spiders, it's not a problem.
One typical change that I've made myself had to do with a dog.
Better Than You, an associate of Sparky's, had a dog IRL that liked to eat ice cubes. So, he took six photos of his dog from different angles, I pasted the photos on a cube and programmed the cube to bark and to eat ice cubes. The new dog was handy for use in clearing icy spaces.
The future of Minetest lies in stabllizing the core engine -- something that Trolltest aka Luanti declines to do -- and making it easier for any tech type age 15 to 75 to create features such as the preceding at the modset level.
Machinima is one application. We'll keep that in mind.
