    I have been a long-lasting Sauerbraten player, although I only play it occasionally due to the low player base.

    Apart from that, I have been playing OpenTTD, Mindustry and other open strategic games and I am looking for similar games. I have played a lot of other open source games that do not come in my mind as of now, I have been using Linux as my main OS for quite a long time.

    Played 0AD recently, which is a RTS like Age of Empires. You can play it multiplayer on LAN too. It’s quite fun, though my base constantly gets burned to the ground by at least three different armys simultaneously

    For shooters: Red Eclipse which is also available on Steam. If you go there, choose the beta Version, since the initial release on Steam from 2019 isn’t really good. I guess you can play the beta too, if you clone the github repo and build it yourself.

    Both are available in your linux distributions repositories. Red Eclipse is quite old there though (version 1.6, Steam: 2.0)

    There are also a slightly old OSS Counterstrike-like tactical shooters like Urban Terror and Assault Cube Reloaded I enjoyed in the past.

    Most of the FOSS shooters I know are based on the Cube-Engine. I’m looking forward on something based on the Godot Engine. Maybe there are some more games to be released as FOSS in the future

        Oh, thanks I didn’t know.

        I imagine that developing a opensource game is a very tedious task for the main devs. After all, games are not just code but also textures, 3d models, animations etc. Difficult to keep a vision when 100 people all over the internet are committing to it.

        Maybe that’s why.

          Oh, to be clear, I am not judging. Game dev is not easy to do. I am happy that any game exists. It just extra nice if it is also open source. I have also enjoyed playing Urban Terror. It’s fun!

    Just the community I needed to find! I was literally about to close lemmy to go look for open source games and ports for Android.

    I started Shattered Pixel Dungeon and was having a lot of fun with it. It is the first real Roguelike I think I have gotten into. It takes a bit of learning, but it still feels pretty accessible. Definitely worth the free download to see if you enjoy it

      So very similar vein, uses many of the same mechanics and a lot of the same framework is Pathos. I think it’s really well fleshed out even though I haven’t managed to get very far. Amazing depth and mechanics but initially it felt like running into a brick wall for me. But the tutorials are very easy to read in the game and you can tweak a lot to become a god in different ways so you can test out and try to understand mechanics. I think it’s great fun and kinda like a deeper, grander Shattered Pixel Dungeon!

        Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy. I haven’t played a whole lot, but if you have any questions I will do my best
