Thorium – A Starship Bridge Simulator
Thorium is great; it's closer to a virtual tabletop for starship RPGs than a standalone game, built around creating interactive narratives. That sets it apart from the more straightforward game-style bridge sims, like Artemis[1] and EmptyEpsilon[2], which have scriptable scenarios with narrative elements but have more fundamentally game-focused mechanics.
All of these get used in a lot of fun ways for live events beyond their design, too. Thorium's "family tree" comes from interactive events at planetariums, and EmptyEpsilon, being open-source with an HTTP API and game-master screen for directly manipulating live game state and pretending to be ships, became a popular front-end for European LARPs.[3]

Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?
Empty Epsilon bridge simulator: https://github.com/daid/EmptyEpsilon
The game itself is fun, but the best stuff I've seen is it being reused, modified, and adapted for LARPs and crowdplay.
Out of Orbit is a great and ongoing example, a Finnish escape room-ish experience that also has a Twitch game putting stream chat in the role of the ship's AI: https://outoforbit.fi/ and https://www.twitch.tv/outoforbitgame/about
Empty Epsilon powers the game part, with integrations using its DMX interface and HTTP API to provide hardware interfaces and things like Twitch chat commands modifying the game state.

10 player LAN Party: What are some good games?
EmptyEpsilon - a free multiplayer bridge simulator. Each ship is typically crewed by 3-6 people, but you can run multiple ships in the same game or get mods that add/change roles.

Is there any current Co-op tank game with campaign (against AI enemies? Not RTS, not multiplayer, just driver and gunner doing missions in a campaign.
"the open source": Empty Epsilon. A little more complex of a simulation than Artemis, but feels much more limited from a mission standpoint, mostly due to lack of development from that aspect. Does away with the "Star Trek" feel of Artemis for a more industrial feeling.

Making a game in C++
If you want to look at an interesting open source C++ game project that (iirc) uses SFML, you could check out Empty Epsilon.
BrogueCE
- any suggestions for a beginner roguelike? something that's not infuriating
-
anyone can recommend me a cheap roguelike-roguelite
For a long time, most traditional roguelikes were free (although there seem to be more on steam lately). I think Brogue is a good place to start; it isn't too complicated, it has some nice quality of life stuff, cooperates with a mouse, and its pretty for its genre.

What kind of builds are currently possible
I only play community edition, and my ascensions have been lightning, conjuration, teleport and some reaping combinations. My mastery was teleport with invis/reaping support. Multiplicity weapons are good (spear, rapier) but i tend to get ambitious and play hard for a mastery and screw it up.
-
Best roguelike to start with?
Your best option is Brogue (community edition), in my opinion.
- Best roguelike on steam for a beginner?
-
Looking for non-action roguelike/lite (i.e. colony sims, deckbuilder, strategy, etc.)
Brogue
-
Free games that can be replayed/played for a while
Brogue is another good option if you're down with rogue-likes, can basically run on anything (& has an Android version).
- Does this game still exist?

Adding Brogue [1] to the list. Neat and very well balanced.
