I would like some recommendations on libre videogames. I have played 0 A.D., Tyrian, Mindustry, Pixel Wheels and Super Tux Kart. While i enjoyed these games I would like something with a bit of story, or some innovative mechanics but I’m open to anything.

    Back when I had the time, I sunk a fair bit of time into Battle For Wesnoth. I know they were struggling for a few years, but it looks like they made it through and it’s still active.

    “Story” is probably a strong word, but there are campaigns both built-in and user-made. But I mostly spent my time playing multiplayer. The SurvivalX/SXRPG mods were particularly fun for some multiplayer turn-based “hack and slash”.

        Oh, awesome! I’m glad to hear that both so the game can go on living and because Godot being one of the million and one things I have on my list to at least learn the basics of some day.

        Just quickly installed the game and it looks like the SXCollection and SXRPGAddon mods are still around (last updated a year or two ago). Wonder if the rest of my old group wants to relive some old times.

      Why do you think it is hard to do in libre development?

      Sealedbite looks really impressive, I’m going to try and install it one of these days. I’m saving the other two for research, lol.

    There’s Veloren, an open world Voxel game written in Rust. It’s pretty barebones at the moment but you can keep your eye on it 👀

        Whoops I totally ignored the suggestion for a story, sorry about that. In that case, if you have an Android phone you could try Andor’s Trail, although the assets aren’t freely licensed so I don’t know if you’ll mind or not.

    Battle For Wesnoth has a story to it.

    In development libre games would be Tetraforce and Moonwards.

    I can provide links if need be.

      Looks good, is there any screenshot? Are you the developer?

        You should look at gameplay videos (from recently cuz the game changes a lot very quickly). No i am not, just a fan

    Flare has a story to it. Also nothing where you’re going to be holding onto the edge of your seat, but enough so that you know where you’re going and why.

    Xonotic is really excellent, it’s evolved from Quake 3 and there’s an active community around it. It’s a blast if you’re into FPS games. Hyper Rogue is an interesting non-Euclidean roguelike game. Tanks of Freedom is an Advance Wars clone, has a bit of a story to it as I recall.

    anarch is a mess, its ugly, and its wierd, but its damn small and free as fuck. It’s pretty fun to mess around with. Also I see you play mindustry, that game is really satisfying to play.

    If you like interactive fiction there is a lot of work out there that’s freely available and runs in free implementations of their parser engines.

    For example: Anchorhead a Lovecraftian text adventure
