Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?
Havent seen endless sky mentioned here, it is an old school space trader sim (think scape velocity or a 2d freelancer)
A lot of good tips here, but you should have a look at Endless Sky! Really cool space game
https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-skyGreat suggestions in this discussion! Rather than adding my favourites, I will add some resources that list more games.
- Libregamewiki: it is really comprehensive (sometimes too much, including even not-so-good-games). They care about licencing and is is very easy to browse, top-notch for me.
- Open source games: a more relaxed repository, with lots of material.
- bobeff open source list: this is curated, which means that there are not so many games but each and every one is stable, good, maintained.
- Arcane Cache: a fantastic blog with reviews of libre games — or more precisely, underground games, there is a lot of discussion on how gamedevving philosophy too. The reviews are always in-depth and allow you to experience the games on another level, and each game is a small jewel in its category. Strongly recommended!
Looks like some very useful sites there. Thank you
