Games by last release[edit]

2024[edit]

-

2023[edit]

  • Hypersomnia - online 2D shooter, available on all major platforms (Windows, MacOS and Linux) and in the web browser. Open source under AGPL licence.

2022[edit]

  • Supertux advance (*) - fast paced 2d platformer that's visually styled to resemble a game boy advance game, top level license is affero GPL but research into assets may be needed
  • Darworms (*) - territory capture game written in JavaScript
    • The official version includes Google Analytics which is nonfree, but it's a separate JavaScript file so it's easy to run the game without that; regardless, I think an article for the game should point to a completely free version. The reason I put the game in the "Suggested" rather than "Rejected" section is because of how trivial the changes needed are.
  • Moon Rider (*) - VR music game where you punch stars as they move along a track
  • EmptyEpsilon (*) - open-source "clone" of Artemis Spaceship Bridge Simulator, with new features and gameplay not found in the orignial. (GPL-2.0)
    • Just a quick look: It uses sounds with CC-BY-NC. And looking at the music Dream Raid Full Version (Mock Up).ogg is listed but no license named; Imminent Threat.ogg not even listed. No mentioning about graphic sources!? Kribbel (talk) 11:14, 31 January 2023 (CET)
  • Slaughter (*) - first person shooter for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Only 1 of the 5 source files has a license header, so someone should probably ask for clarification on whether that is supposed to apply to all of the software/graphics.
  • DDraceNetwork (*) - Cooperative 2D online platformer. zlib license with CC-BY-SA 3.0 art
  • Thrive (*) - Spore-like game, GPL + CC-BY-SA (mentioned on this page). That confusing page first says media is cc-by-sa, then non-commercial??
    • Code is GPL3+; Assets are mostly CC BY-SA 3.0, except some fonts with SIL OFL. Likely problematic are social media icons because »Assets in the folder "assets/textures/gui/social_media/" and subfolders are licenses by their individual corporations.« Game is also on Itch Kribbel (talk) 17:46, 15 December 2022 (CET)
  • YSFlight (*) - released as open source. wikipedia article

2021[edit]

  • Trillek (*) - A space sandbox game; I don't see a license for the "Textual assets" so maybe someone should ask, or just dig a bit deeper because I didn't look that hard.
  • Nuclear Blaze (*) - Source is MIT-licensed but need to check the art licence. Cute little firefighter game.
  • Mk48.io (*) - A browser-based multiplayer naval combat game. Source, assets, and everything else under AGPL v3.0

2020[edit]

  • nbsdgames (*) - 17 Super-modern command line games.
  • textflight (*) - Text-only multiplayer game. archived homepageForked repo on GitHub itch.io announcement FreeGameDev Forums It seems developer Katherine Peeters has stopped the project.
  • Libre TrainSim (*) - "Train Simulator written in Godot Engine - Free for everyone. Licensed under GPL 3.0"
  • dMagnetic (*) - dMagnetic is a Magnetic Scrolls Interpreter. It allows the play to enjoy classic text adventure games, such as "The Pawn", "The Guild of Thieves", "Jinxter", "Corruption", "Myth", "Fish!" or "Wonderland" It uses ANSI art to render the beautiful images.
  • Among Sus (*) - Among Us clone as a text adventure.
  • Worldforge (*) - A 3D MMO engine which includes client, server, etc. and has distinct online worlds accessible from a single client interface.
  • UltraStar Deluxe (*) Karaoke game similar to Singstar. There is a repository of Creative Commons songs which does contain some NC-licensed songs but that shouldn't matter since you can use your own songs. GPLv2.
  • Meeting Time (*)
    • This was made for Adventuron Treasure Hunt Jam by »using Adventuron Classroom«. Which is »Licensed for personal non-commercial use only.« Isn't putting the game under GPL a violation of the license/EULA? Kribbel (talk) 13:43, 17 December 2022 (CET)
Let's rather take this to the talk page. FacelessLinuxUser (talk) 18:02, 17 December 2022 (CET)

2019[edit]

2018[edit]

2017[edit]

  • Blue Nebula (*) - A fork of Red Eclipse to stay with the engine from Version 1. I checked the license files for code and media and it's Free unless I missed something buried deep.
  • SSHTron (*)

2016[edit]

2015[edit]

2014[edit]

  • Slappa (*), a simple fighting game.

2013[edit]

2012[edit]

  • .kkrieger (*) - Award-winning 96k 3D FPS demo, released under BSD and public domain.
  • Spacejunk (*) A gravitational game in which the user collects space junk while moving through gravitational fields in 2D.

Unsorted[edit]

Is it completely under GPLv3, including media?
Media unclear, isn't it?
Yes, I agree. (I was the one who suggested the game, even though the IP is different.) 83.252.31.148 18:31, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
