Open source games however, deserve some recognition (Hell, they're FREE!) This is what this topic is for. I would like to know about everyone's favorite open source games, programs, and whatever else fits (as long as it's free - and appropriate).

It's a concept engine with simple but powerful in game editing. It is designed to make mapping easy and fun. You can get it at its main page: http://www.cubeengine.com The bigger the community the better (we could really use some good programers for the prototype engine Sauerbraten.) PS: Be sure to check out my Cube maps at Quadropolis: http://cube.snieb.com/

There aren't any. That's why all the big games overshadow the lame open source ones. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 Community Owner | | Community Owner Joined: Feb 2002 Posts: 7,203 Likes: 11 | I donno, I still love Hexxagon (was originally coded for use in DOS but there is now a flash version floating around; namely in our games section). | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 247 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 247 | Tell me an open source game that is as good as all the big commercial ones.

Not true Perg. Even without flashy graphics, Escape Velocity was such a popular game (could even be called a "cult classic") that even when they started charging a shareware fee (after a free trial, of course), they were able to make enough money to start a company around the game. (ever hear of Ambrosia Software ?). Now, two sequels later, the game has become so popular that there's even an Escape Velocity: Nova card game[/b] ! How many "big commercial games" have that? not many! :p [b]Natural Selection (the extremely popular half-life mod) is also starting to gain recognition as an open-source mod, and has even caught the attention of several publishers - the next generation natural selection will utilize HL2's Source engine and will be released in stores. Open source programmers are the ones who really care what gamers think - they do this purely out of love for their creations. There are no monetary motives. That's why I feel they deserve to at least have a thread acknowledging their accomplishments. And always remember: even big companies like EA have to start somewhere.
