OpenMortal (also called Mortal Szombat) is a fighting game and is a parody of the proprietary game Mortal Kombat. It is licensed under the GPL.[177] The latest version of the game is 0.7.1 released on June 15th, 2006, while the earliest listed is 0.2 from February 21, 2003. It is written in the Perl and C++ programming languages.

Instructions are provided on how to create new, realistic characters, so players and their friends could serve as actors for the game.[178] As of 2008-05-30, there were 24 characters at http://openmortal.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/characters.cgi. Although the assets are released under the GPL, the re-use of the character graphics are complicated by personality rights issues.[179] This has not stopped versions of the characters being released for the proprietary M.U.G.E.N engine (possibly compatible with Ikmen).[180]

The game is not available in Debian, because its would-be maintainer found that it seemed dead since 2006, and thus he would have to deal with all the potential bug reports.[181] It was removed for Fedora Extras from similar reasons.[182] The game was included on the LinuxCenter Game Collection from 2004.

GNU Chess is a program that plays the ancient board game, Chess. It is licensed under the GPLv2. The original version of GNU Chess, written by Stuart Cracraft[186], was one of the first major games to be developed deliberately as free software. On the game Free Software Foundation founder Richard M. Stallman said "We even developed a chess game, GNU Chess, because a complete [free] system needs games too."[187] Version 6 of GNU Chess is based on[188] Fruit, a chess engine by Fabien Letouzey[186]

With Flatpak GNU Chess can be played by installing Sugarchess, a graphical front end made specifically for it.[189] A contemporary version was included on the 100 Great Games for Linux shovelware collection, as well as The UNIX Book of Games by Janice Winsor in 1996.

Xonotic is an first-person arena shooter, forked from Nexuiz. The game runs on the Darkplaces engine, based on Quake 1's engine. Gameplay is also based on Quake (mainly the competitive Quake III Arena), but Xonotic adds some unique touches (for example, the rockets fired from a rocket launcher can be guided with mouse). The gameplay is very fast-paced, and includes and encourages a form of bunny hopping as well as rocket jumping (in Xonotic "laser jumping" is more common). The art is mostly futuristic, but unofficial maps exist in a variety of styles.

There are 16 different game modes (including the classics: deathmatch, team deathmatch and capture the flag, but including uncommon ones such as a type of football[210]), 16 weapons with secondary fires, 18 official maps (and a lot of unofficial maps), and a complex HUD editor that lets you tailor the HUD to your exact preference. There are also so called mutators, that allow to slightly modify rules of each game mode.

Xonotic features integrated player statistics. The XonStat system tracks a bunch of stats, including win/loss ratio, frag ratio and average accuracy[211].

Hero of Allacrost is a single player 2D role-playing game that shares similar appearance and gameplay with classic console RPGs. In Hero of Allacrost, the player will explore rich environments, solve challenging dungeon puzzles, and fight strategic battles in an active-time based system.

The game will be released in modules, rather than waiting until the entire game is finished to make a release. Once a new module is released, players can download it and install it, which will make more content available for the player to continue the game from where they last saved. Each Allacrost release will contain a new chapter of the story. Each section is released when it is completely finished.[252]

It is written in the C++ and Lua programming languages using the SDL library.[253]

Right now there is only one planet and three characters, but plaimi want to implement several planets as well as inter-planetary travel via cannons, amongst other features[277].

The characters are "limbless", and consist of a head, body, two feets and hands. As of yet, the only way of "fighting" is running into each other. When the characters hit each other, their mass is decreased up to a point where their body parts are unlinked and the characters effectively become space junk[278].

The source code is licensed under the GNU GPL[279], and plaimi encourage people to contribute with code, make their own art, and make packages for UNIX package managers[280].

Limbs Off does not come with sprites or sounds. Instead, plaimi want to hack the game to load art from a data directory, so that users can install their own art. As of yet it only supports this with character sprites[281], as the game is at a very early alpha stage. It "went public" on the 24th of September in 2011, on github[282].

The game runs on relatively modest hardware, and has been compiled and run successfully on most modern UNIX-based operating systems[283].

It is to feature a little boy building a makeshift air cannon from spare parts only to terrorize his older sister, and potentially the whole neighbourhood, while evading the wrath of his father. The majority of the game's multimedia are derived from vector graphics taken from OpenClipart and sound effects taken from SoundBible. Contributions to this project, or the creation of other entities for the Indie Games project, are more then welcome.

FreeOrion is a turn-based strategy game of galactic conquest inspired by the Master of Orion games. As is typical for 4X games, players have to explore their surroundings, colonize new planets, manage their economies, research spectacular technologies, build up military might and conquer their neighbors, and ultimately, the entire galaxy. Features specific to FreeOrion are the diverse fantastical species and peculiar history of the game galaxy, the design of new ships with a multitude of hulls and ship parts available after research, and the possibility of technological victory after researching transcendence.

There is an impressive in-game encyclopaedia and most things can be looked up by clicking hyperlinks in messages or through right-click menus. The encyclopaedia includes both generic FreeOrion help and backstory as well as current game info such as for example what the target population of a particular planet would be if you were to colonize it with each of the species in your empire.

The game's source code is licensed under the GPL v2 and its media under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license.[330][331]

M.A.R.S., a ridiculous shooter. In a far-future colonised galaxy, a GREAT WAR is raging between nameless adversaries. In one of several game modes, two opposing teams are fighting in a gravitational 2D space with a few planets, including their homes. Translations, numerous weapons and AI bots are implemented. Two players can join in the game on the same computer, network play was planned for a later version. The game's visuals provide ample effects and jarring colours, including pink.

Initially, the game contained some non-free media. Hans de Goede provided a fully free version by replacing sounds and fonts, while the Hungarian symphonic metal band Obsidian Shell gave their permission to distribute the music tracks they contributed under CC-BY-SA 3.0, instead of the original CC-BY-NC-ND 3.0.[448]

Chaos Esque Anthology is a free game. This means that the source code is available to be studied, modified, and distributed. Most projects look for help with testing, documentation, graphics, etc., as well.

Chaos Esque Anthology is a first-person shooter forked from Xonotic, it includes new features such as extended number of weapons (including medieval weapons), new maps, vehicles, spellcasting, monsters, player characters, textures and game modes.

Note: This project is open to adding any map format that can be programmed (without using additional external libaries) in C. It has already implemented Wolfenstine:EnemyTerritory map loading, as well as support for use of .obj files as maps themselves (extension: .obj_from_mc , added to maps directory) Note: .unr (unreal97) map format is desired, please see: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/ C++ code has been found that displays the .unr map format (linked above). This engine is in C. Please if you are reading this, consider assisting this project. The engine source code is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-t3d_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/ The relevant files are: model_brush.c (.h) and model_shared.c (.h). A useful subroutine to look at is in model_brush.c : Mod_OBJ_Load on line 7562 , which loads triangle data and face data from the .obj format. The .unr format has all the triangle and face data baked into the format; no interpolation is needed (unlike .t3d). (The .unr C++ source code is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/tickets/2/attachment/UShock_source.tar.bz2 . It needs to be studied and translated to a C subroutine for this game's engine)


Note2: VBSP (halflife2) map loading is also desired: as a developer by the name of CloudWalk attempted it; but did not complete it. His code is included here: https://sourceforge.net/p/chaosesqueanthology/code-vbsp_attempt_engine/ci/master/tree/ in the file model_brush.c in the function Mod_VBSP_Load() (and similar functions). He attempted this code 4 years ago; and we have ported it over to this version of the engine now. The commit says it crashes: we believe it. He got up to the loadfaces stage of interpreting these files. If someone could complete the work... if someone could complete the work....

Colobot - colonise with bots - is a combination of a real-time strategy and a programming game. The player takes the role of an astronaut with the mission to find a habitable planet, after humankind plunged the Earth into an ecological catastrophe. The player is not on their own, but accompanied by programmable robots that can help in building and defending structures. Through a satellite link with 'Houston' she/he is directed to complete a number of missions on different planets. The game also involves a rather aggressive though evolving relationship with native alien lifeforms.

Apart from the missions, there are also two game modes that instruct the player in the use of CBOT, the language used to program the bots. This language is rather similar to C++ and Java. During the missions, it's not really necessary to write code for the bots, but it is convenient to be able to adapt the programs Houston offers to the player. Version 0.1.6 introduced the Code Battle game mode, where players first provide all programs needed to operate a base and/or kill all enemies, and then let the programmed bots do their job without the possibility to interfere. The game provides three types of enemies: passive targets, pre-programmed bots and hot-seat play against a fellow human.

Tangomon is an educational monster-battling game, similar in concept to the popular Pokemon series but with an educational twist.

The player starts with one "Tangomon" and three "Tangojis". Tangomon are monsters which exist in the world of the game. Tangojis are used to command the player's Tangomon to attack and defend; they are terms the player wants to learn, e.g. vocabulary words. When the player feels they have learned a given Tangoji sufficiently, it can be converted into a "Tangokan", which can be used to capture defeated enemy Tangomon.

The game does not have an ending. Instead, the goal of the game is to collect all Tangomon, and the player can then reset the game state and start over again from the beginning while keeping the same set of Tangojis and Tangokans.

Hase is an open source (GPL) gravity based artillery shooter. It is similar to WarMUX, Hedgewars or other artillery games, but the gravity force and direction depends on the mass nearby, similarly to WarHeads (1997). It is optimized for mobile game consoles like the GP2X, Open Pandora or GCW Zero, so it doesn't make use of the mouse even on the PC. Hase features:

  • Awesome mix of real time and turn based action
  • 20 unique weapons
  • Arbitrary number of characters per team
  • Hotseat play with an arbitrary count of players
  • Also network play, even mixed with hotseat play
  • 25 different spritesets to choose your character from
  • Masses of particles, which are also influenced by gravity
  • An action point based system to use stronger or more weapons per turn
  • Different randomly dropped items to spice things up

XEvil is a free software platform arena game first released by Steve Hardt at M.I.T on July 26, 1994 over the Project Athena network.

Described as "one of the most graphically violent games ever made", the game's website features a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer over its potential offensiveness; the premise has players compete for their rank in hell. Originally developed for Unix systems using the X Windows System, it was later ported to Microsoft Windows systems using DirectX featuring sounds and music. Both versions were released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later on January 18, 2000. Version 1.5.5 was included on the 100 Great Linux Games and version 1.0.0 on the Linux Cubed Series 8 LINUX Games shovelware collections.

Arcmage is a tabletop and digital turn-based strategy customizable card and deck building game[567] within a fantasy setting created by a community of free culture-loving individuals first released in 2018. As a player (or arc-mage) you battle your opponents by summoning creatures and casting spells. You’ll have to defend your cities, manage your resources and power supply and conjure up a strategical plan to capture your opponent's cities.

Arcmage can be played by two or more players, either in person with printed cards or online with digital cards. It supports both pre-game deck building as random drafting. Although one-vs-one is the most played variant, the game supports other constellations and formats as well. E.g. one-vs-one-vs-one, one-vs-two, one-vs-three.

New cards are released on a regular basis through new sets. Unlike other similar card games, the cards are available under the CC-BY-SA4.0 license, and are available for download in high quality print ready pdf. Players can opt for a DIY[568] approach and download-print-cut-play or get the professionally printed card boxes. In either case, the DIY or pro cards are perfectly legally in both casual as tournament play. Therefore there's no artificial scarcity of cards due to an 'invented' rarity in production or utility in gameplay. Arcmage abolishes the pay-to-win model[569] and solely relies on the player's deck building and strategical skills. All players can enjoying the full game experience so there's no need for a pauper-format[570] as seen in other games.

Arcmage is truly 'free for all'.

There can be as many as six players on one screen in local games, which can include computer controlled players. The winner of the match is the last one standing.

Animosity is a free game. This means that the source code is available to be studied, modified, and distributed. Most projects look for help with testing, documentation, graphics, etc., as well.

Animosity is a proposed project to create a free content replacement for Strife in a manner similar to Freedoom and Blasphemer for Doom and Heretic. A partially incomplete blanked version of the Strife WAD file was produced by Mars Jurich (Death Egg) as a PWAD (featuring a music track from Freedoom) in April 2012, but no further work was released.

Jeff Shark (Marnetmar) had offered to write up a design document. Adam Woodmansey (Khorus) also offered the then developing level set Absolute Order to the project. A steampunk look was suggested in the original thread, with possible clockwork automatons. Other suggested titles were Struggle and Cataclysm.

In January 2024 a collection of potential artwork for such a project was gathered by Graham Wilson (Technopeasant) on OpenGameArt.org, all of which under CC0 or the Modified BSD License, including scrapped weapons artwork from Freedoom, the ethereal crossbow from Blasphemer, and one weapon sprite from Zauberer. Suggested enemy graphics are either existing sprite sheets, or 3D models that could be posed and converted to sprites. He also drafted a project logo, featuring a combination of handwritten styled text and digital printing to illustrate the combination of the medieval and the futuristic, alongside a brief plot synopsis inspired by ancient astronauts and cargo cults.

For this reason we would like to ask you not to copy us into another project."
