I’m surprised Endless Sky isn’t on this list. It’s so addicting
The android port is nice too

https://github.com/thewierdnut/endless-mobileThanks for this one. It’s exactly my type of game yet I’ve never heard of it.
oh it’s incredibly fun! Mods are also super easy to make and install, since the game mostly works on txt files. They even have an official list!
Originally released for PC in the early 90s and ported to the 3DO with voice acting and FMVs. The 3DO version got released open source.
UQM Mega Mod is a fan-made remake with optional HD graphics, QoL features, and all kinds of extra goodies. Only possible because the game is open source.
Originally known as Star Control, the series is now known as Free Stars. UQM is SC2, and they released it for free on Steam in anticipation of the release of its long-awaited sequel, which fans backed upwards of 6 figures.
The game is a space adventure game. The dialogue is great, and was the cited source of inspiration for Fallout’s dialogue trees. There’s also space battles with a couple dozen unique spaceships.
The game inspired things like Mass Effect and Stellaris. So if you enjoyed any of those, give this game a try!
…or at least add it to the list!
And the music is amazing.
And these two games lists, from about 20 years back.
Two thumbs up for The Dark Mod, which started as expansion of the best stealth games of all time.
Can’t wait for an opensource MOBA!
