  • Cataclysm-DDA

    Cataclysm - Dark Days Ahead. A turn-based survival game set in a post-apocalyptic world.

  • There's also games like Cataclysm DDA or Tales of Maj'Eyal that operate similarly and are pretty dang active.

  • zengm

    Basketball GM (and other ZenGM games) are single-player sports management simulation games, made entirely in client-side JavaScript.

  • Basketball GM is sorta open-source and has been for quite sometime. I think one of the challenges for that project is getting people to meaningfully contribute. As not only is this a fairly niche genre for a game, but the codebase is somewhat complex too.

  • Veloren is a free 3D RPG inspired by Cube World and made in Rust.

    The automation tower defense RTS

  • Mindustry is a paid game on Steam but is open-source with a passionate lead dev.

  • Barotrauma

    A 2D online multiplayer game taking place in a submarine travelling through the icy depths of Jupiter's moon Europa.
