Naev – open-source game about space exploration, trade and combat
Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point!
-
6 free games updated in the last 60 days
#2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game.
- Im looking to try open source games, what are some good ones?
-
this looks so much like endless sky it hurts. at least it costs just as much now lol
It looks like the license used by ES allows comercial use https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/blob/master/license.txt

What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)
I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/.

Been stuck in a rut lately with gaming and life lol, what game should I play?
Try Endless Sky for PC (download for PC and there’s an android build). It has a little over 100 hrs of story content and a lot of customization. You can optimize a small fleet (or one ship) or create a death ball fleet.

Odd control glitch, V 0.10
This is because of mouse control. A bug fix for this was just merged this past week.
This should do it https://github.com/endless-sky/endless-sky/pull/8620
-
The Pale Beyond sold 10% of copies on Linux
They wouldn't write a game for Linux. They'd write a portable game that compiles for Linux, Mac, and Windows, just like typical open-source games except with a higher budget.

Endless Sky v0.10.0
Or just download a certain mod's wonderful launcher.

finally!!!
Haha, yeah! There is a pinned comment on this sub that already announced it, but it's such awesome news, isn't it? Of course, I won't personally be using it anyway since I'm deep into the 0.9.15 alpha content (not on Steam yet since 0.9.15 isn't finished, but it's updated frequently on github and is also available using the launcher). Still, having a 'stable' release on Steam for the first time in over two years is sure to attract a lot of new players! 😁

A Thank You to this game
While you could technically assemble and run the continuous on your own, it's far easier with a bit of code. Check out: https://github.com/EndlessSkyCommunity/ESLauncher2/

"Now I am become Death, Destroyer of Worlds" (Spoiler)
A couple of versions ago (in 0.9.13), but it's kind of an easter egg ship -- gotta jump through a lot of hoops to get it, and it's not really something you can find 'by accident'... Also, bear in mind that the Steam version is lagging pretty far behind. Steam still only offers 0.9.12 in the 'stable' branch, and 0.9.13 if you opt into the 'beta' branch, but 0.9.14 was released months ago and just hasn't made it into Steam yet (I'd recommend either getting it from the GitHub page directly or downloading the unofficial ES Launcher 2).
-
PSA: v0.9.14 has been released on GitHub only
For people who want the super fresh stuff, you should download the Endless Sky Launcher 2 and use it to run the Continuous build.
