Maybe a boring answer, but free software versions of games I enjoyed in the past are mostly what I want.
Graal Online, Maplestory, Terraria, Starbound, Minecraft (there are a few clones already), Rust, CS:GO, Super Smash Bros, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Rockman.exe, maybe something like Prototype or Ultimate Spider-Man with fun physics so you can swing around and do whatever.
A free recreation of Graal Online would be especially cool as the content was all player-made with the available development tools. They just let the PC version of the game wither and die. If someone just made a solid base, a community could form to make the actual stuff to do. I've heard people compare Graal to BYOND/SS13, although I never experienced those. There's SS14 now, but it seems pretty focused on... space station stuff. I don't know that it's similar enough to Graal for me.
- chaosharmonic 4y agoI've toyed around for similar reasons with trying to get Melee Light running on a local in hopes of at least getting its codebase up to modern versions of JavaScript and the dependencies it was using, but it's larger in scale than anything I've ever previously tackled solo and I'm not even sure what thread I'd even pull on to untangle the build config, let alone everything else. An interesting concept actually occurred to me on this same idea, albeit still sort of blocked by the first thing -- what if this or an engine like it were moddable on purpose? An open set of tools for generating character data or making engine customizations could actually open up a lot of possibilities around more easily implementing roster additions or even just enabling total conversions that are less likely to get DMCA'd.
