Super Tux Kart (I play it on Android) is NOT one of them. The physics system is bad at some moments, the items aren't fun to use and some of them ruin the game. The overall game feels amateurish (in a bad way), but one thing that I like is the Windows Car and the drifting. Those are awesome.

Technically Urban Terror isn't open source, but the Quake3 engine it runs on is.

I still haven't tried it, but I've heard how great Veloren apparently is. It's an MMO voxel game that takes inspiration from Zelda: Breath of the Wild and is written in Rust.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Early game is a bit confusing and direction less last I played but once you get your bearings its a load of fun

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Xonotic (quake-esque FPS, IMO its like quake and halo had a FOSS child), Minetest (a voxel game engine, multiple games are available for it), and Mindustry (sandbox tower defense) are the only ones ive tried so far

It's funny because it's true. And it's funny because people think you're trolling.

I asked this a while ago which is how I discovered Beyond All Reason which has been my FOSS game of choice as of late.

I'd also recommend Naev and Endless Sky (Both are based on the Escape Velocity Series, Naev is getting a 3D PBR renderer in the next release). Mindustry is good fun, actually purchased this one on steam to support the amazing developer. Extreme Tux Racer is a bit of fun and Super Tux Kart seems to get better with every update (did I mention it can run on the Nintendo Switch via homebrew!)

Edit: I forgot about 0ad and Minetest which I used to play a bit of a while back

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

I also found bar from an open source thread on Lemmy. It's such a good game. You a cortex or Armada player?

I've only been spamming cortex I haven't tried arm yet.

SuperTuxKart and Mindustry are so much fun!

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Another vote for mindustry! That game is a blast.

If you bother to write a response, then please at least write what genre of game it is.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You can easily look them up using a search engine of your choice. But I understand the lazyness.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago

0ad, warmux

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

FreeCiv is a classic and still fun. rogue and nethack are good, too.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Open sudoku?

As you can imagine, I'm no fun at parties...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (6 children)

Which one? And does it have killer sudokus?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (3 children)

No variant rules unfortunately according to the Fdroid. You should check out the sudoku games from Cracking The Cryptic on the Google Play store if you want that. They aren't FOSS but they have hundreds of handcrafted puzzles for a few bucks.

Cube 2 Sauerbraten, an online FPS. Not many players left anymore though.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Is this something like counterstrike/tf2? Seems interesting

Edit: I see there are Assault Cube, Assault Cube reloaded, Xonotic etc. Didnt know there were so many

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

More similar to counterstrike than tf2, but I'd consider it more of a Quake clone. The (probably) less than 50 players only really play CTF nowadays.

Mindustry, SuperTuxKart and Thrive probably

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (4 children)

Is Thrive exceptionally similar to Spore?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

From a quick video I saw, they seem similar indeed, but I haven't played Thrive enough. I have only made it to a single-cell prokaryotic organism, lol (which is basically very close to the beginning of the game).

Since no one mentioned yet, Tales of Maj'Eyal deserves some love too. One of the best roguelikes out there..

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Is that game open source? That's cool, I love that game

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it is, although they don't seem to take a collaborative development approach, but you can grab the source and create derivative works.

VCMI - it's re-written from scratch, open source, multiplatform Heroes 3 engine with many improvements and mods manager. It requires some files from the original game though.

QuakeWorld and old school Doom for FPS, Beyond All Reason for RTS, Dungeon Crawl: Stone Soup for roguelikes, Hedgewars for a Worms-like.

  • Super Tux (i played this since i'm three)
  • osu!lazer (rythm game)
  • shattered pixel dungeon
[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's definitely a work-in-progress title, but I have really enjoyed SuperTux Advance (AGPL-3.0 according to their github page). It's like SuperTux but with sliding, more playable characters, and more power ups. As of now it's probably my favorite OS game at the moment.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Reading SuperTux Advance made me imagine a Game Boy Advance demake of SuperTux, that would actually be so cool.

Edit: Oh, it seems I was half correct. It appears to be a re-imagining of the original game in a GBA art style.

Simutrans and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)
