For example veloren

Do you play open-source games? If yes, which games do you enjoy?

0.A.D., Veloren and Xonotic are my favorites. Also Sonic Robo Blast 2 is freaking awesome

Not quite what you are asking for, but here's a list of source ports of commercial games, most of which have Linux ports.

Oh and I'll single out The Ur-Quan Masters as an older source port of Star Control II. Old enough that the port itself is nostalgic for me, although it's still being updated by the looks of it.

Terminal games:

Adventure - A classic adventure game. (In the BSDGames package) Hack - The game that inspired NetHack. (In the BSDGames package) Greed - A game where you go through a number field, eating the numbers. It's hard to explain but very fun. Rouge - It's nice to go back to the classics. I like Hack a bit more though.

Non-Terminal Games:

Secret Maryo Chronicles - It's like Super Mario Bros. Alien Arena - Kind of like natural selection. Urban Terror - Kind of like Counter-Strike Warsow - Kind of like Quake. Xonotic - Like Quake again.

I think that's all I played back in the day.

I like supertuxkart and minetest

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Seconding Minetest. It's a lot of fun just to poke around the forums and work on my own little projects and additions with minimal actual programming skill required

Technically not the whole game, but Smash Remix is an open source rom hack of the original Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 64. It's been a blast from the past and I'm enjoying the hell out of it.
I also love the fact that a lot of N64 emulators are open source too, like Mupen64 or simple64

I made one! It's a solitaire-like but with some new mechanics, and fairly polished and balanced at this point. You can find it on itch and on the play store. Here's the source.

Oh~ this game looks like someone was really disappoined by how cube worlds dev killed the release on steam i guess. Thanks for that, i will check it out. tl;dr Game was gutted on steam release but so much more was already done, promised and/or teased.

Surprised it's not mentioned here, but Bzflag.

Super fun tank shooter game that doesn't take much to run, and reminds me of a cross between the very old bolo game and Mario kart's battle mode.

I've had a ton of fun in Red Eclipse over the years.

Tremulous - The game was so fun back then (like 10 years ago ?) I guess it's a dead game now.

The only one Ive played for any length of time is freeciv, which as the name implies is based of the civilization games, mostly civ2. It's a bit old looking these days and setting up multiplayer has always been a bit fiddly, but the gameplay is pretty fun imo.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I always used to love playing Freeciv years ago as I grew up on Civ 2 and Civilisation: Call to Power. Probably should try it out again on a modern OS.

If you didn't already suggest it, I would have suggested Veloren!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, what's promising about Veloren is I feel like everyone had a pretty cohesive idea of what Cube World was "going to be". It's pretty hard to disappoint a community when the developers are the community.
