FOSS games, what else is out there?

[doofus-01]

I was stumbling around the internet (COVID-19, enough said), and came across this:
https://itsfoss.com/free-linux-games/
Apparently, Wesnoth is only 23/31, by some guy's measure.

This article: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/03/ ... ike-games/ is part of what kicked off my wandering. I don't know anything about "rogue-like" games, but some of that reminded me of Legend of Zelda, and it was also a good reminder of just how "retro" Wesnoth is.

Does anyone have a recommendation for an active FOSS game? Old-school is cool, though Dwarf Fortress is a bit too old-school for me.

I haven't played it but I heard Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (DCSS) is popular.

I remember looking at Flare a while back. I'll have to learn how to use Blender ... sounds like a project, thanks.

EDIT: DCSS also looks interesting, in a less ambitious way, thanks for that as well.

http://retux.nongnu.org/ -Retux a great platformer (easier than supertux)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/apz/ (adventures on planet Zephulor, I haven't played in a while, but I have fond memories, I just wish someone would polish it.
www.wograld.org - alright, I'll admit this is my project, but its a pretty great multi-player rpg
http://www.freedroid.org/ - a good single player rpg with robots
https://ryzom.com/ - MMORPG - beautiful 3d game with unique crafting and gathering system.
https://www.themanaworld.org/ - MMORPG, I'll admit it was actually pretty awful the last time I played it, but that was years ago.
https://arianne-project.org/game/stendhal.html - MMORPG, actually pretty decent for what it is. Last I played it I found the loot a bit boring though, and it was kind of hard to find where to go next.

> Wesnoth is only 23/31, by some guy's measure.

I would not put too much emphasis on that.

It is actually more surprising to see wesnoth is still around!

So many other open source games vanished over the years ... some of
which I miss. I think one thing that really keeps interest in wesnoth alive
AFTER the newbie stage, are the campaigns. The creativity through
campaigns should definitely be maintained!
