I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.
I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.
Feel free to have a look to see if there’s something you didn’t know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.
Thank you!
EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don’t have any proprietary dependencies.
In the meantime, here’s a copy of the links:
- LibreGameWiki - A wiki of free games and related topics started by Han Dao.
- Open Source Game Clones - Open-source or source-available remakes of great old games in one place.
- Open source games (bobeff) - A list of different open-source video games and commercial video games open-source remakes.
- Open Source Games (trillarion) - A list of open source games, game frameworks and game creation tools.



How about open arena? http://www.openarena.ws/
Hi! Thanks for the suggestion. I can’t quite understand if this project is mature and if it depends on non-free assets. My first question emerges from the fact that they use a 0.x.x version identifier, and the second one from what is says on this page.
It’s definitely done, apparently new development is still happening, but there hadn’t been a new release for a long time.
Assets are licenced under the same licence as the engine, GPL2.
Licence for game assets: https://github.com/OpenArena/gamecode/blob/main/LICENSE
Sorry for being pedantic. I might be dumb, but I don’t see any assets (sprites/models/sounds) in this repository. I think the license you linked might just be referring to the code.
The lack of recent releases isn’t a discriminator for this list. And active development is certainly a plus.
