Games by last release[edit]
2024[edit]
-
2023[edit]
-
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.
- 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]
- Shoot Your Goo (*) - Very nice 3D game, found via freegamer article, the repo is MIT, the engine GPL, but despite the license it needs to be checked if there aren't any copyrighted files in the repo (as there is e.g. OpenAL32.dll there).
- Squirrel Eat Squirrel (*)
- Flasim (*) - Media license not explicit... ask the author.
- Catch Challenger (*) - Readme says everything, including the data, is GPLv3.
- mk.js - MIT License
2018[edit]
- Fire and Fondness (*)
- fiTD (*) - MIT, terminal only tower defense.
- Cave Story NX (*) - Are all of the data free?
- Solarbot (*)
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]
- ASCIIpOrtal (*)
- Ascii Sector (*)
2015[edit]
- Nocturne in Yellow (*) - Engine is apparently GPL (https://github.com/marrub--/GLOOME Readme clearly states that), media license seems unclear, I found this (http://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=49299&start=90#p868865) post which seems to vaguely imply WTFPL. Seems like additional research is needed to confirm it, game seems rather professionally made so probably worth looking into?
- Full Metal Galaxy (*)
2014[edit]
2013[edit]
- Cubosphere (*) - Claims to be free software when you exit. For practical purposes, this is a complete game with no major bugs although it's officially in beta and development is dead since 2013. License status is unclear. Almost all graphics and audio files are non-free, however ([1]). There's also a fork with the goal to replace the media files: https://github.com/cubosphere/cubosphere-code/
- OpenGOO (*) -- Research media license.
- Data Dealer (*), a game that places you in the position of a privacy-violating, data-grubbing corporation. Requires some research: their Kickstarter page mentions the game is released as CC-BY-SA, but there's no clear release or download with copyright info.
- Sintel The Game (*) -- The GH repo now says the game is MIT, however an archived page says a non-free CC-BY-SA-NC would be used. Needs to be checked.
- Savage Wheels (*)
- glPortal (*)
- A Murder In The Public Domain (*)
- GemRB (*)
- Domino-Chain (*)
- Race Into Space (*)
- 2x0ng (*)
- A Dark Room (*)
- Bricks 3 (*)

1983[edit]
- Worms? (*) - cellular-automata multiplayer territority capture game written in ValForth. Although the game itself is free, it runs in ValForth which needs further investigation a wiki page suggests ValForth is CC-BY-SA-2.5[1], and it looks like the atr images may contain source code based on looking at it in a hex editor. I did not look for a program to view the files in atr images.

Unsorted[edit]
