  1. I am really enjoying the game Extra Ordinance on Luanti, content.luanti.org/packages/Su
    You are essentially a mech warrior with powerful guns trying to survive against swarms of digging bugs.

    I can see why it won they 2024 game jam. I played multiplayer on LAN with my 7 year old son and we both had fun.

  2. CW: CW: Nintendo kvetching

    This hits the right tone for me:

    "I’m Sad and Disappointed with Nintendo Lately – Switch 1 Prices Just Went Up" — Aywren

    https://aywren.com/2025/08/05/switch-1-prices-just-went-up/

    I think I'm about done with #Nintendo, and the gaming industry overall. I'll probably buy a copy of #KittenSpaceAgency at some point, but I'm not even particularly enamored with Steam.

    I'm just gonna say #FOSSGames for the win, and pivot more into that court. I don't care if they're derpy or limited.
    Also, #IndieGames for the win, especially ones that allow you to buy and download them directly.

    Of course, massive disclaimer that I'm really not a gamer, and never was. XD

  3. Reposting this awsome lemmy thread by @MITM0 with hashtags for the benefit of people following me on Mastodon:

    Here we’ll simply share the names of some cool Libre/OpenSource Android games that are available (Or should be made available) on Fdroid

  4. Taisei Project, a FOSS Touhou Project fangame, has released v1.4.2!

    there are many bugfixes included within, including some performance upgrades for macOS that I helped facilitate. (I also rewrote the all the dialogue and cutscenes from scratch for v1.4!)

    Linux, Mac, and Windows are all supported, as well as an experimental WebGL version you can play in most major browsers

    check it out: github.com/taisei-project/tais

  5. I just started playing and enjoying Feudal Tactics, github.com/Sesu8642/FeudalTact. It is very minimal turn based strategy game, where you try to conquer an island with competing kingdoms. It is tricky because you want to build up more warriors to take more land but you have to pay them, so there is a balance. You can build castles too 🏰. I could see it being a fun party game. Cheers to the developer for making it!

  6. @yujiri @wyatt8740 In my opinion, #esports are a waste because most of them rely on proprietary video games. This means a game's publisher has power to shut down a tournament by asserting its exclusive right under #copyright to perform the game publicly. Nintendo has done this, as have other companies. arstechnica.com/gaming/2013/07

    To make esports not a waste, get players more interested in #FOSSGames.

  7. @abcxyz I was thinking just a couple of days ago about developing a 2D boardgame in flutter as well in the upcoming months!
    So if there is something #opensource to take inspiration from it would be really useful.

  8. Desktop toy of the day: The Powder Toy

    An extremely comprehensive, but nonetheless easy to play with, physics sandbox into which you can throw a variety of solids, liquids, powders, gasses, manipulate forces, and more.

    If you've ever played sand:box on Android or Steam, you'll be familiar with the genre.

    The Powder Toy is libre, longer established, and does more.

    Download it from the project website:
    powdertoy.co.uk/

    Build it from source:
    github.com/The-Powder-Toy/The-

    Or grab it from Flathub:
    flathub.org/apps/uk.co.powdert

  9. My older son (5 years old) has been getting into SuperTuxKart recently. I have it running on a linux miniPC connected to our TV with xBox360 controllers. It's so fun watching him get the hang of it! I'm grateful to the SuperTuxKart team. It's helping me to share the joy of free and open source software with my son 😀

  10. I remember enjoying platform fighter games as a kid, games like Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat and Soul Caliber. Do you know if there are any free and open source games in this genre?

  13. I can't believe there still isn't a #FLOSS / #FOSS clone of audiosurf yet! Huge potential for the community to pitch in with mods and map designs, etc. #opensource #flossgames #fossgames #linuxgames
