Looking for FOSS Games

Hey there,

I enjoy Linux gaming via WINE/Proton, but I often wonder about Linux-native FOSS games. You often see brilliant titles like 0AD and Mindustry mentioned, but there are also some unspoken gems in the “genre” like Minetest and it makes me wonder what other FOSS games are out there, that people just don’t talk about much? I’m looking to discover and play more of these titles.

its pretty complex and can be hard to learn, but flightgear is super fun once you get the hang of piloting.

Futurama ,

Endless Sky is an amazing one. I’ve put tons of hours into it. It’s a top down 2d space trading/fighting game, very similar to Escape Velocity if you’ve ever played that game.

Here are some less mentioned FLOSS games, that are excellent quality:

Fillets-ng (2D fish sokoban)

The Dark Mod (3D stealth game, bow and sword)

Crrcsim (3D model glider flightsim, slope soaring)

Games which I have played for more than 100 hours.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon: A traditional rougelike dungeon crawler.

Rhythia or Sound Space Plus: Rythm-based aim game.

Taisei: A Touhou FOSS Fangame.

BAR - Beyond All Reason, for Total Annihilation/Supreme Commander style RTS, learned about this one in another thread here on lemmy

Zero-K - similar premise, plays different from BAR, also the graphics seem less demanding

OpenSoldat - 2D arena shooter. For anyone that never played or saw something similar, think of multiplayer maps of halo, quake or unreal, but if it was a 2D platformer

Not quite open source, but Daggerfall Unity is a FOSS update to the engine for Daggerfall, a game which Bethesda has made free for years now. You can get the game off GOG, too.

Didn’t see any mention of dungeon crawl stone soup so I’m adding it here

BZFlag has existed for a while now.

I haven’t played it yet, but a game called Veloren looks really good, and I’ve heard great things about it.

There is a Wikipedia article about this: en.wikipedia.org/…/List_of_open-source_video_game…

It is, however, vastly incomplete, as entries without “reliable sources” get deleted. Mind that linking the source code repository, the steam page, the license file and news about a game going open source are not enough to count as “reliable source”.

s12 ,

Does Katawa Shoujo count? It’s not quite FOSS, but it’s a renpy game under CC BY-NC-ND.

Nemoder ,

I’ve played and enjoyed:
OpenTTD
OpenRCT2
OpenClonk
Hedgewars
Foobillard++

I’ve also been looking at Tabletop Club but haven’t played with it much yet.
