Best open source games Anonymous 04/16/2024 (Tue) 10:09:35 No. 1520
What are the best open source games?
>Ctrl+F Xon >Ctrl+F Ooli >Ctrl+F Lug Faggots <Ctrl+F Cataclysm Someone already posted it, nice Torus Trooper is also fun, check it out https://invidious.lunar.icu/watch?v=2atv7Y6lG-4
>>2135 xonotic is a crap game that suffers from the same pitfalls as every arena shooter - is unfun and filled with sweatfest
>>2135 Arena FPS weren't listed because they're already being made fun of
>>2140 tbf i have low standards for foss, the field is crap games by console standards nothing's good besides am2r. osu fnf and iwbtg are fun but unimpressive and most of what's left are autism simulators playing foss is like being short while dating girls, don't expect 9s and 10s
>>2142 >by console standards There aren't really any "console standards", check PSN or the eShop and you'll see they're full of shovelware and asset flips. Games like Life of Black Tiger. And I disagree with your premise there, there are good FOSS games like Cataclysm, 0 A.D., OpenTTD. Doom's been open source since 1997.
>>2143 pedantry, there are standards outside psn and eshop all those games are autism simulators except doom, get tested for autism

>>2144 Oh you're completely shitposting, apologies.

Has anyone played SMBX? May be too derivative to qualify, but what a blast.
>>2142 foss devs and game devs don't mesh well together. Foss means the developer doesn't shower, has autism, cares too much about little detail, never had fun and uses computers and foss idealogy as placeholder for lack of personality. A game dev has to focus on FUN first and foremost, which means he has to forego autism in favor of actually fun things. Not treat the game as a "personal project" and actually deliver a product. There are very few foss AND fun games that didn't suffer from group drama and autism
>>2146 The 2.0 version just got a flaggot disclaimer update instead of fixing the many playable characters. I'd recommend the X38A version, since you can download lots of NPC's that couldn't make it into the final cut, but beware of the pikabot virus though since the game and its Winrar packs can be only found from a Russian site.
>>2221 dont just say "There are very few foss AND fun games that didn't suffer from group drama and autism" and not provide any examples nigger

>>2675 I used to play dr. mario a lot. What happened to that series, do they still make them?
autism thread
>>2717 There was a Dr. Luigi spin-off for the Wii U and classic Dr. Mario tournaments still run today. aGameScout has a Summoning Salt-like documentary on that. https://youtu.be/watch?v=aQpQPAO-CwA
>>2767 Isn't Game Scout the YouTuber who covers Tetris?

>>2850 >>2909 are they better than sonic & sega all-stars racing
>>1520 AM2R's so good it launched the maker's career.
>>2976 They're good but SRB2K is too simple and Ring Racers is too complicated. Or maybe the latter is just too complicated to easily learn, but once you do it is fun. Still, a bit part of the fun is just mods and stuff. I have a hard time saying it's better than All-Stars Racing, but it's pretty darn good. SRB2K is definitely not even close. It's just fun because you can download characters like Inspector Gadget (voiced by Mike Matei) and HH Greg (voiced by Roger Craig Smith) and have them say funny things as you race.
>>6479 What makes Ring Racers too complicated?
>>2126 to fug gf do i beat bf in a funk battle

>>2126 Moar liek Friday Night Fuggin!
>>6680 they fug at the end of this (official)
>>2126 Why did they delete the shock mods?
>>6680 To bad she was cancelled.
>>1732 IWBTG's got a huge fangame scene. https://cwpat.me/beginner-fangames/
>>6696 best one?
>>1534 Osu's good.
>>1542 Does Open Lara have a menu toggle to turn off tank controls?
>>6507 If you actually go through the tutorial carefully, it can easily take you upwards of an hour. It's not just basic controls, driving mechanics, and items, but there are also multiple ways to use up rings, and sometimes you have to deliberately use up your items so you can use your rings instead, depending on what you might want to do with the rings. And it's not like you have multiple buttons to use rings in different ways. You can do this little whip attack that's a little bit like Road Rash, but not when you have rings, for example, because if you have rings the button will do something else. There's a lot of little things beyond that, but it's the stuff with the multiple ways to use rings that I think went a bit too far. However, once you actually get to racing, a lot of the stuff that seems perhaps overwhelming at first isn't actually needed. I think it would have been smarter to space out the tutorials. The game has a zillion tracks and cups and unlockables, expecting you to really get into the single player. I understand why some people won't want to, and sometimes I wouldn't even be in the mood for it, but I do appreciate a good single player mode in a racing game. Also, since it's complicated, I can't get my friends to play much with me anyway. I only got them to play Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart a few times because that game was so simple. This perhaps overcorrected.
