Looking for FOSS Games - eviltoast

Hey there,

I enjoy Linux gaming via WINE/Proton, but I often wonder about Linux-native FOSS games. You often see brilliant titles like 0AD and Mindustry mentioned, but there are also some unspoken gems in the “genre” like Minetest and it makes me wonder what other FOSS games are out there, that people just don’t talk about much? I’m looking to discover and play more of these titles.

    Endless Sky is an amazing one. I’ve put tons of hours into it. It’s a top down 2d space trading/fighting game, very similar to Escape Velocity if you’ve ever played that game.

        It’s a functional programming language, so you have to think quite differently when using it if you’re used to imperative programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Python, Basic). I learned it at uni and it was quite fun, but I wouldn’t know how to write a larger project in it.
