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:

Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I can't quite understand if this project is mature and if it depends on non-free assets. My first question emerges from the fact that they use a 0.x.x version identifier, and the second one from what is says on this page.

Content repository for OA3 is not yet available.

It's definitely done, apparently new development is still happening, but there hadn't been a new release for a long time.

Assets are licenced under the same licence as the engine, GPL2.

Sorry for being pedantic. I might be dumb, but I don't see any assets (sprites/models/sounds) in this repository. I think the license you linked might just be referring to the code.

The lack of recent releases isn't a discriminator for this list. And active development is certainly a plus.
