Cyberpunk 2077
It’s funny because it’s true. And it’s funny because people think you’re trolling.
But you’re wrong.
Open source is not the same as source available. I’m not going to do a deep dive on definitions and licensing, but open source generally means that you are allowed to do what you want with it. It also usually implies that if the creator updates it, that updated code will also be shared.
The leaked Cyberpunk 2077 source code is from 2022 at the absolute latest (released 2024 from a hack done in 2022), is not open source licensed for re-use (meaning any use of it by people outside of CDPR is illegal), and they have released numerous patches, updates, and an entire DLC since.
It’s a joke
I know that. It’s not entirely true that it’s open-source, since it does not actually have an open-source license, but it’s true to an extent that the source code is technically out there and anyone who doesn’t work for CDPR can (illegally) use it. The comment was only meant as a joke, I wasn’t trying to be real serious about it.
How is it open source?
It’s not, it was a joke. The source code was leaked in 2021.
Oh, got it-- thanks :)
Unciv is pretty cool, it is Civ 5 but you can play on mobile as well. It was great to have the “One more turn” feel while stuck on a train.
…and you can continue the same game at home in PC. Just gotta send the save game file.
Mindustry, Endless Sky, and Unciv.
DCSS, Minetest and Simon Tatham’s Puzzles.
OpenRA and OpenTTD
OpenTTD is fantastic. The graphics might give new players pause, but if you like building networks or logistical puzzles, or just like trains, it’s still one of the best in the genre.
Velorem and Endless Sky!
CrossCode is really good, but it isn’t free. I need to look through my Steam library to see which other games might be open source too. This is the only one I’m aware of, really. ProtonDB might have a list of games that are open source. It’s a great resource for checking compatibility if you’re playing on Linux.
CrossCode is fantastic. But it is not an open source game.
Since no one mentioned yet, Tales of Maj’Eyal deserves some love too. One of the best roguelikes out there…
Is that game open source? That’s cool, I love that game
Yes, it is, although they don’t seem to take a collaborative development approach, but you can grab the source and create derivative works.
The modding scene is (or, well, was) pretty active though, if you’re into that. There are still official te4 forums, but most folks hang out in the discord (yeah, I know.) including a couple old head modders that are pretty familiar with the codebase if you’re trying to do something exceptionally interesting with it.
Mobile on Android: Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Techmino.
+1 for Pixel Dungeon, never heard of Techmino I’ll check it out
It’s Tetris but for mobile and very good quality
Tried to check it out - for me it’s neither on Google Play nor on F-Droid. Is it still supported and updated?
You have to get it directly from github. I use Obtainium to help with that.
it receives relatively frequent updates, and it uses love2d (with a native lua module for the AI) so it’s crossplatform.
Veloren!
The ones that come to mind are Beyond All Reason and Battle For Wesnoth.
Endless Sky for me
Me too.
Xonotic
Simutrans and Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
I too hate myself
Simutrans
Can I finally create a city with proper public transportation, full of trams???😳
Wait, there’s opentdd, another similar game👀
Probably not unless you get public funding (eg, run a massive deficit, take control of the public AI to build stuff, debug features, etc) or you first create a resource chain or two to pay for transit.
Aw rip
I still play Elona and several flavors of Angband.
Greatly improved by community contributions.
