this directory is the name of the main python module, so i don't like to rename it (its what will be installed to /use/lib/python3/site-packages/$name).
when the game is properly installed, the executable name is openage anyway, so this is somthing relevant only for the in-repo build. maybe a simpler solution is to rename "run" to "launcher" or "openage-dev"? having the right py module name outweights the development executable name.

Yeah the openage python module shouldn't be renamed and it technically doesn't even contain the core engine, so this change would be more confusing than helpful. I think engine for the executable would be fine although we might find an even better name.
Changes with a lot of impact like this are better discussed in the issue/in chat first btw :) Not because we are against you coming up with ideas, but because there's a chance that you do a lot of work for nothing.

Okay, thanks. The issue mentioned a few potential names so I thought that had already been decided. That all makes sense. |

@tslocum No problem. Sometimes our issues are just reminders for things we think of during chat discussions, so they are not always thought out as much :D |
