OpenTTD is certainly a good open-source game

christophski@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 3y

So incredibly addictive

0 A.D., Beyond All Reason, SuperTuxKart, and The Dark Mod are the four FOSS gaming projects that I find to be most impressive.

Oh my god, thank you for reminding me about SuperTuxKart. What an absolutely incredible game (it helps that I'm pretty good at it, whereas I'm awful at Mario Kart).

The Dark Mod looks really interesting. Any idea about the hardware requirements? I can't find information about it on their page. Wondering if I have a chance to get it to run on my aging Core i3 potato with integrated graphics...

Not sure about the requirements, but I had The Dark Mod running fine on an old machine with an ancient Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigabytes of DDR2 ram, and a GeForce 730 card. So the requirements are pretty light. I would suggest just trying it out and seeing how it runs.

Thanks, I will definitely try it! I remember really enjoying the Thief games.

We have a OpenSourceGames community.

I think Xonotic and Unvanquished are pretty cool. Mindustry is very popular. Unciv and Thrive are probably lesser known but also very cool.

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. Persistent procedural open world zombie survival sandbox roguelike, and the inspiration for Project Zomboid. SsethTzeentach did a review/ primer a few years ago, though the game changed quite a bit since then.

My top 3 best would be Widelands, Battle for Wesnoth and FreeOrion. But the ones that I play most of the time ae the simple quick games from KDE Games collection :)

fluxx@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

0ad Is both good looking, modern and fun. I would also second wesnoth.

I can’t figure out if there’s a way to bookmark threads in Lemmy. So I’m gonna be that guy and leave a comment so I can come back to this thread later to install all these 😄

You can save this thread if you mean that

ehxor@lemmy.ca · 2 pts · 3y

That is what I meant. Now I see the star button but I swear it wasn't showing for me on mobile before. Thanks!

I love Mindustry. It's a Factorio-like builder/defence game with stronger emphasis on the RTS/battle aspect.

bigmanjezza@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Open spades is an underrated gem if you like multiplayer fps. It's like the old ace of spades beta with the 3 weapons, and destructible voxel terrain.

Vitaly@feddit.uk · 2 pts · 3y

Didn't hear about that game but looks very nice on screenshots

KindaABigDyl@programming.dev · 2 pts · 3y

Super Tux Kart

Better than Mario Kart

copacetic@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 3y

Purely open-source (no non-free data), then Widelands might be what he spent the most time on.

PhantomX@lemmy.one · 1 pts · 3y

The classic one, Frozen Bubble.

pvq@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y

I really liked Warsow, an online FPS with a cartoonish style. I really liked how you were able to set a greyish texture for the map and bright red/green for enemies/teammates... It's like the texture pack I always wished I had in Quake2. Unfortunately, I don't think a lot of people play it anymore.

TGhost@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 3y

Openra & Supertuxkart :)

PublicLewdness@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 3y

Liblast is looking really good although is very early in development. I enjoy Super Tux Kart; Pixel Wheels; Red Eclipse; Veloren; Flare: Empyrean Campaign; and Tuxemon. Probably forgetting a few.
