Hey you guys ~ Be sure to look at the description for more info on these awesome games. And if there’s a Linux game you’d like me to play, let me know by leaving me a comment!
Hey, there's RTS game called Beyond All Reason and it's probably most quality made open-source game i ever seen. It's in alpha stage, but it's development team make it better and in some many aspects (i'm not a developer, but i did ton of bug reports for speedup making this game better).
Mindustry definitely deserves to be put on the list. Personally I would put it at the top. If you haven't checked it out, it's a mix between Factorio, Bloons and StarCraft and it's incredibly polished
I think you should take a closer look at OG SuperTux in the near future. There's a huge update coming out that features new mechanics and overhauled graphics that make the game super beautiful.
Shoutout for Battle for wesnoth ! I spent hours on this game, definitly one of the best turn based strategy games ! Nexuiz/Xonotic surely as changed over the decade, I'm glad they were able to maintain development/community Unlike warsow (which is sad : I loved warsow ! )
You might wanna take a look at Endless Sky. It's a clone, but it's really well designed. I look to it as a great example for one of my own gamedev projects. Would also highly recommend Flare. I've played through it a couple times, it's a well-designed game. Project: Starfighter is a classic open source game that, while flawed, I loved enough to start maintaining it. Seeing someone else's take on both Project: Starfighter's classic experience (which my current maintained version retains as an optional "difficulty" setting) and the modernized experience I developed would be interesting. I of course also rather like the games I develop (ReTux and Naikari), but I'm of course biased on that front.
Honestly, Red Eclipse is also a really good open source game. It has good graphics, gameplay mechanics, and it even made it on Steam. There's also Endless Sky (Also on Steam), and it's kinda like Eve Online but with a god camera.
If you install minetest, one of the games that runs on it (in it??) is called "Exile". It is a stone-age survival game, and disturbingly difficult. Or just disturbing, because most of the time, you die on the first day. For people who like a challenge. It doesn't have many hostile mobs, like Minecraft has its creepers, skeletons and zombies. The only hostile mob I've seen is a kind of bird. But it is o so difficult to play.
Haha, I still remember the first time I tried it : I crashed running at low speed (taking a left turn) on the taxiway 🙃 Simulation sure is towards the most dedicated players ! And for what I understand, flightGear is one of the best one
Man... I'm trying to remember a game I played in roughly 2007. I remember it being a "top down" style 3d adventure game. I'm pretty sure you played as Tux and had a sword or lightsaber... You often were defeated by robots for some reason. I have no idea what it was called or if I'm even remembering the game correctly. I must have played on Puppy Linux or Arch...
Meh. I've already heard of all these games before, including the ones you only showed footage of. You should've made this a longer list or provide more commentary for why these games are good.
