    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.

      Seconded for Battle for Wesnoth. My dad and I have been playing it on and off since like 2006 when he had to directly dial into my computer to play together.

    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.

    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.

    Apart from those already mentioned, I am thinking of Minetest, Hedgewars or The Dark Mod. On the retrogaming side, there is also OpenTTD. They’re not really open source games because you need the original game data, but I’ve spent quite a bit of time on OpenRCT2, and regularly run ScummVM.

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

    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 😄

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

          While the mobile version isn’t flawless, the development is going very well. If you encounter any issues, feel free to open an issue on their GitHub repository, and they will try to fix it

    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.
