Question for the creator
It's based on the source code of Pixel Dungeon by Watabou.

Can I take free app game source code add my own art and launch it in the App Store for profit?
I have seen at least one FOSS game do this. Shattered Pixel Dungeon is a derivative of Pixel Dungeon that is being sold on Steam. The original game is under the GNU General Public License v3.0.

I can't think about another video game using Java. I mean, there WILL be more but i haven't saw them.

Why is open source game-dev not a thing?
There's like a hundred versions on Pixel Dungeon on various stores because it's just a completely open source project.
- I'm creating "Game Codebase Tours" – source code walkthroughs of finished game projects – in order to help new devs learn how a finished game is put together. Would anyone be interested?

Working on a port of my favorite mobile game, Pixel Dungeon to Roblox. Map generation is 100% procedural.
The original game is completely open-source under the GNU license, it even has several spin-off's with very active communities. I reached out to the original creator for permission just to be 100% sure and he said its cool and was even interested in seeing the final product.
- Can i take someone else's game and make my own version?

I want to make a roguelike similar to Pixel Dungeon in Unity. What's the best tutorial to get started?
The Pixel Dungeon source code is publicly available. It's written in Java, which is relatively easy to understand if you know C#. I'm not suggesting that you try to port to Unity, but it can be a good reference.
- A +3 wand from the wandmaker???

What programming language did Watabou use to make it?
It's Java, it's open source, and it's right here: https://github.com/watabou/pixel-dungeon

Hello do you guys know a free game to just chill with my friend.
I don't think there's much in terms of managerial/4x f2p games (afaik)...closest thing that comes to mind would be The Battle for Wesnoth which I wouldn't recommend for "turning off" your brain.

[PC][Before 2014] 2D Turn based strategy game like Fire Emblem
The Battle For Wesnoth? (Keep in mind it's been around since 2005, and had more simplistic graphics at one point - a random example.)

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/.
