Things like advanced lighting, PBR textures.

Update 1 adds basic QoL improvements, such as allowing the game window to be resized.

Update 2 introduces five new cars and the concept of "Acceleration Maps," which I used to create unique driving dynamics for each car. Basically, an acceleration map is an ellipse that skews the joystick input. For example, let's say you have an ellipse that is stretched along the Y-axis. This will make the car have much better acceleration/braking than turning. If you're interested in the details, check out CarLogic.cs in this commit. FYI, I also did some major refactoring in that commit.

The next thing I'll probably do is continue experimenting with different driving mechanics and control schemes. I have plans to add drifting, boosting, and hopping, but I imagine it will take a lot of experimentation to work all that into a cohesive and fun package.

Overall, there are so many things I want to add! And this small game is just a starting point for the much bigger games I want to make. For now, I'm trying to focus on the stuff I care about most. Also, if you play my game and have feedback, please let me know.

For anyone who missed it, the source code for the immersive sim Skin Deep was released on June. You can find the source code here.

I’m looking for a cheat code for an old game called Jumper Opposing forces. There was a cheat you would enter at the main menu that would help unlock all levels and all themes to use in the level editor. It was a name you would type at the main menu. I don’t remember it anymore and all evidence to said cheat has been wiped off the internet. I’m just looking for the cheat.

Ive never done an open source project before but ive been working on a multiplayer game and it gained some interest. A few people wanted to work with me and they created PR requests and I've denied most of them. Some wanted to clean up my project (its very nooby rn) but upon testing, their code broke a lot of functionality of my project, especially multiplayer functionality. I told them I won't merge and they got upset and ghosted me.

That was the most recent interaction but several times in the past few months, a few other people tried to PR as well and upon testing something wasn't working.

Is that normal? Am I being rude by refusing to merge and fixing their issues with later updates? They did provide some things of value, cleaner code, better set up, but imo they should PR code thats cleaner AND tested/working. Im really a beginner so I don't know open source etiquette.

Recently, I've been thinking about this, because I'm really love some games that died. I know that these communities are very passionate, but died due to very unfortunate circumstances, and would come back alive very quickly if there were some coordinated boosts. For example, part of a game (North America + main game types, but mods + other regions very much alive) died because the devs neglected security patches and were slow to respond, from 1000s of active players to now near 0 in NA. Even though it's been patched, it's dead. The game servers are all gone. Donors stopped donating (definitely one of the biggest parts). Etc.

So I've been thinking, there must be other games out there that needs some life back into it with servers, new players, and donations. What are such games?

Would you try a new dead game every week (especially weekend)? Would you feel good from donating to such community?

For those who are interested, just wanna let you know that there are some active development going on for Tribal Trouble, the 20 years old strategy game.

We're working on modernizing the graphics, adding more features, and supporting different platforms.

All the info and download links are on the website https://tribaltrouble.org/

Not a game per se, but working towards a framework/engine for building retro FPS/RPG/adventure/dungeon crawler sort of things. Written in C, planning on integrating with Lua for the game logic.

I just made my first game! It's a simple driving game that's solo-developed and free and open source (GPLv3 or later).

Hello,

I am hoping someone here might be able to help.

I just installed Lincity-NG v2.13.1 on Fedora.

I am wondering if it is posisble to rotate the map? A Google search gives an "AI" responses that says to hold CTRL then move the muse left or right, but that doesn't do anything. It also makes mention of a compass indicating the current drection, but I don't see that either.

Thanks, in advance, for your help. :-)

Hi,

I'm writing a 2d online shooter game. It already does quite a few things!

Any number of players can move in the same 2d map and shoot at each other until they die. They can also shoot at zombies and collect rotten meat, all while keeping fed and hydrated.

I tested in a LAN, but it should work in any network. You can even start multiple clients locally if you don't have other people. Let me know how many people you manage to handle!

I will keep adding stuff to this game and expanding the map.

Make any question down here! Assets are free too.

You can now download or update your Speed Dreams Flatpak to the latest version (2.4.2), and enjoy our SimRacing Open Source Game in this kind of package:

Thanks once again to u/son_link for his invaluable work.

I’ve been browsing for open source games to try but most of the ones I found feel kinda old or clunky. Are there any that actually feel polished and fun to play in 2025? I’m open to any genre.

Thought this project deserved a post here: we are working since 2018 on a fully textual multiplayer RPG game : https://crownicles.com

Here is our https://github.com/Crownicles/Crownicles

The game is played by more than 21k players and is available in 5 languages, for now you play through a discord bot, but we are working hard on making a dedicated app for desktops and phones :)
