Xonotic[1] is excellent (Named Nexuiz in the past, but that name was essentially stolen). Hours of Quake like fun with beefed up graphics and a bunch of interesting gameplay twists. One the mobile side there is Shattered Pixel Dungeon[2], also to be found on F-Droid. The polish behind that project is insane for something FOSS and the hours I put into it are something to be embarrassed about.

I just completed my 1000th game in SPD, only 70 runs ended with the amulet. I am not ashamed.

    69 of them I think. I went back up every time except the first.

Sauerbraten (previously known as Cube) was always a favourite of mine, with the added twist that the game itself was also the level editor, and different players could be in different "modes" in the same map - a group of people CTFing, while others deathmatched, and a couple of others were literally redrawing the map as they played. I see there's even a release of it that's not that old - I remember it from about 15 years ago and it still seems to be developed. http://sauerbraten.org/ http://sauerbraten.org/

  Wouter, one of the original Cube developers / creator of the Cube engine, has started a new game studio. He also made a new programming language that was introduced here, called Lobster. He has a really interesting Twitter feed. https://www.strlen.com/lobster/ https://www.strlen.com/lobster/ https://twitter.com/wvo https://twitter.com/wvo 2021 interview at sauerworld: https://www.sauerworld.org/celebrating-20-years-of-cube-an-in-depth-interview-with-aardappel/ https://www.sauerworld.org/celebrating-20-years-of-cube-an-i...

    I used to chat with him on IRC all the time, I should see if the channel is still on the go.

For anyone wondering, Xonotic is still very actively developed despite the lack of releases. https://gitlab.com/xonotic https://gitlab.com/xonotic If you want to run latest without compiling yourself: https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/-/wikis/Autobuilds https://gitlab.com/xonotic/xonotic/-/wikis/Autobuilds
