  • endless-sky

    Space exploration, trading, and combat game.

  • I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/.

    Open-source Android/Desktop remake of Civ V

  • ioq3-for-UrbanTerror-4

    The officially supported ioquake3 engine by the Frozen Sand Development Team for the game Urban Terror 4.x

  • OpenArena and Urban Terror; spent tons of time with them back in the day!

    Mirror of https://gitlab.com/xonotic - Xonotic (superproject containing build scripts and tools to download other repositories and assets)

  • Xonotic my beloved

  • OpenXcom

    Open-source clone of the original X-Com 👽

  • With the amount of streams I have with modded openxcom, I'm pretty sure I'm already addicted to it.

  • teiserver

    Middleware server for online gaming

  • My current favorite is Beyond All Reason. Before BAR, my favorite was Zero-K. Both BAR and zk use the same game engine, SpringRTS. BAR and zk are very similar to one another, and they're successors for Total Annihilation and Supreme Commander.
