  • Minetest

    Minetest is an open source voxel game-creation platform with easy modding and game creation

    • Minetest is open-source and relatively well-known. Basically a Minecraft clone, so I'd say that covers the "sandbox" genre, at least.

  • Lemma

    Immersive first-person parkour in a surreal, physics-driven voxel world.

    • Not sure if Lemma by Evan Todd was commercially successful, but it's OpenSource. Also this project by him which had a different name earlier, but he cancelled the release.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • lasercrabs

    Abandoned hybrid singleplayer/multiplayer shooter project formerly known as DECEIVER

    • Not sure if Lemma by Evan Todd was commercially successful, but it's OpenSource. Also this project by him which had a different name earlier, but he cancelled the release.
