Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?
Amnesia: The Dark Descent and Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs got open sourced if that counts.
Holy f— really? I used to love Amnesia back in the day. This is such a strange and unexpected, but really cool news!
Unciv if you enjoy sacrificing hours of your life :)
Are we talking about serious business civ 2 style, or something more relax like the 5th one ?
I believe it’s based on Civ4 by default but can be modded to be more like 3 or 5
Great 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!
