Is there a FOSS tag on Steam? Can we make one? I think if we are enough to tag FOSS game as FOSS, Steam may catch on.

  You can just add one to games. Hit the + button on the page and type FOSS.

  It's probable that Steam doesn't want to do that. Otherwise I imagine it would be there already. You could use a Curator profile for that though.

I'm shocked space station 13 and 14 are not on that list... Both are amazing games with large active communities!
- latexr 3y ago
  The list itself is open-source. You can submit a PR. https://github.com/michelpereira/awesome-open-source-games https://github.com/michelpereira/awesome-open-source-games

  I believe their engine is freeware, not OSS.

    I think you are correct for space station 13 but space station 14 has its own open source engine! https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/ https://github.com/space-wizards/space-station-14/ https://github.com/space-wizards/RobustToolbox https://github.com/space-wizards/RobustToolbox

While working on a multiplayer games library, we are also making higher quality open-source web game demos, for those interested: https://docs.joinplayroom.com/templates https://docs.joinplayroom.com/templates

I recognize that the list hasn't been updated in a long time (almost all of the Android games have not had commits for 7+ years), but one I would recommend is LibreSudoku. It's just normal Sudoku, but by nature of it being FOSS it beats the alternatives. https://github.com/kaajjo/Libre-Sudoku https://github.com/kaajjo/Libre-Sudoku

Hey, get MapTools up on there. It's my go-to Remote TableTop (RTT) for pencil and paper gaming over the internet. Sure, learning curve's a teensy bit thicker, and I have to run the server, but I can run weird game systems and write macros without getting nickel and dimed.

Not very complete at this time it seems. https://www.beyondallreason.info https://www.beyondallreason.info is awesome (and missing).

  looks great but their website makes it challenging to get started. Should just have a big play button on top...
