Freespace is open source.

I am not familure with the.. um.. I guess you could call it the landscape of the freespace community but this was a top search result.

https://www.hard-light.net/

and here is a github project that looks correct.

And now, for free, an opinion. I enjoyed decent, but did not like freespace, I am sure there is fun subtlety to the game, but I bounces off it hard, combat in open space ended up being just these really boring circle battles. Much funner combat when you have tight claustrophobic corridors to deal with.

You want some Hard Light, I got it.

I mean...

That last one is an open source engine for a trio of existing free games, but if we count open source engines for commercial games the amount of famous examples grows exponentially. All id Software games up to Doom 3 have had their engines made open source and have a huge number of modern versions available for all of them. So Arcane Dimensions, the greatest by a mile Quake campaign ever made, was completed just three years ago and you need a modern open source engine like vkQuake to play it - even the Quake Remastered engine can't handle the huge AD maps. There's also an open source Morrowind engine, an open source Freespace 1/2 engine (Diaspora above actually runs on this), an open source point and click engine called ScummVM that runs so many old adventure games it's almost an emulator...

If you want those, you can download them through fan-made launcher here: https://www.hard-light.net/ (scroll down until you find Knossos Mod Manager). The minimal size of the download is 3+ GB, and it defaulted the in-game resolution to 4K, which I had to change in the launcher's settings. If you want to install that, look for "Freespace Upgrade MediaVPs" in the "Explore" tab.

Please visit the official Hard Light Productions network and HLP Discord some time for more FreeSpace and FSO related resources, information, and help.

i was wondering the same thing recently and found a little game called mario, literally. it was started out of the idea that anyone can say they worked on a little game called mario.

A Little Game Called Mario has a pretty good ci/cd pipeline that includes compilation from memory. Might be worth taking a look at how they do things https://github.com/a-little-org-called-mario/a-little-game-called-mario

I think this repo/game might be more what you're looking for: https://github.com/a-little-org-called-mario/a-little-game-called-mario. There's a writeup @ https://github.blog/2022-07-06-managing-a-game-dev-community/ explaining how they use Actions to e.g. update the in-game credits.

Have you heard of this little game called mario?

A little bit of everything is possible @ https://github.com/a-little-org-called-mario/a-little-game-c... :)

How about this one: https://github.com/a-little-org-called-mario/a-little-game-called-mario
