A curated list of awesome FOSS games (github.com)

I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.

I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.

Feel free to have a look to see if there's something you didn't know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don't have any proprietary dependencies.

In the meantime, here's a copy of the links:

Unfortunately GitHub still feels like a place where I belong

Then you belong in a place without freedom.

most of the FOSS devs publish, despite its proprietary nature.

Most well known, perhaps, but most in the literal sense, certainly not. Not like you would know, because they don't publish on proprietary places, so they're not easy to find if you do not wish to put effort into looking.

Perhaps when Forgejo federation will be fully implemented and enabled on Codeberg

So you're waiting for a defederated version of the centralized approach to git. Git is, by its very nature, designed to work decentralized from the ground up. Then sub-par developers found it too difficult, so they add a layer of complexity on top to make it centralized. But then sub-par developers realize its actually really inconvenient to be tied to a single provider, so they add a layer of complexity on top to make it slightly less shit.

Just use git properly, its not that hard. An untold number of developers were able to do it before you, and plenty of better developers are still doing it right now. You're hurting only yourself by limiting yourself to a worse way of using git, and you're hurting the software development world even more by using Github. It is an insult to free software development, one you gladly keep propagating for some inane reason.

I think that’s what makes the most sense.

Try thinking harder.
