Can I play Flare Empyrean Campaign on Steam Deck Gamemode?

I have it installed on desktop mode then added to Steam as a Non-Steam game and it opens the game but can't figure out how to setup the controls to play it

Does anyone have an optimal controller setup for the game?

TRY HARDER - web-based arcade game about square

https://preview.redd.it/a7wjr7w17asc1.png?width=2160&format=png&auto=webp&s=615947f768d469cdc6ac19fc3a0345af3ffd768b

Your task is to control a square and reach the exit, avoiding collisions with walls. You need to simply guide it through the maze to the exit. But be careful, the walls can be treacherous!

GitHub: TRY HARDER

I wrote this game in a couple nights out of boredom. But I'm really enjoying this project!

At the moment, the game code is extremely unstructured and needs a lot of fixes, tweaks and structuring. So I would welcome any contributions to the development!

Suprised by the lack of simple big open source game building kits like RPG maker

My open source journey really started out with Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever and I got deeper into it with OpenMW. But what I am really surprised by is the lack of simple open source builder kits.

Pretty much all we got are RPGmaker and minecraft variants with a very cartoonish style. Why are there not more open source projects like openMW or builder kits like spore?

Just looking at all the low effort asset flipped games on steam and it becomes abundantly clear how easy it is to put together a half baked framework. Implementing that with a system similar to Spore, where there was a website with a rating system to add new dlcs, expansions etc wouldn´t be out of the world of possibilities.

Anyone know any FOSS games for building?

I'm broke, and have no money. Anyone know of any Free Open Source games for building stuff like maybe with legos or blocks?

Yes, I already know of Minetest.

New features in development at Speed Dreams in this video

https://youtu.be/iITCSxJG9wk?si=29BpSx5xzPouJg5S

Hi again !!! This video was recorded as internal development material, but it was so much fun and so satisfying that we thought it was worth sharing it with you all.

In it you can see many of the things we are working on for the next version, like June Ravenmoon's amazing work with our LS-GT1 category, work covering the physics of the tyre model (Simu 4.1), the refinement of the USR robots, which are now competing head to head with us, lots of new skins...

We can also take a look at our rear at the touch of a button thanks to the work of MadBad (in this case, the rear wing has played a trick on us, but it will be fixed), and finally a track that will surely be familiar to you, Ardennen-Spa, created from scratch by u/leillo1975 and that for the moment you can find in our discussion forum:
https://sourceforge.net/p/speed-dreams/discussion/tracks/thread/3025779840/

The car we drove in the video is a Zentek Z7-R, based on the amazing Saleen S7 GT1. As always we would be delighted if you like the video and look forward to hearing your comments. For more info about the Speed Dreams project, please visit our official website:

Naikari: Eye of Chaos 0.12.0

I've just today finally pushed out a long overdue update to Naikari: Eye of Chaos:

https://github.com/naikari/naikari/discussions/24

Naikari: Eye of Chaos is a 2-D freeform space mystery game featuring exploration, trading, and combat mechanics similar to games like Endless Sky and Starsector. It started as a fork to the Naev project (which we're no longer affiliated with), but that is only the game's history, not its identity. We saw some potential in some of Naev's mechanics and after several years contributing to Naev directly, we decided to instead start our own fork when it was clear to us that we wouldn't be satisfied with the direction Naev was going.

https://preview.redd.it/vi56vf7pi7ic1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=891024db4b288f40918f99ee0dfe8c93e637a055

We originally wanted to do more for this release, but it ended up being primarily about solidifying the visual identity of Naikari's interface thru changes to coloring, which also improve the game's colorblind accessibility. I'm not entirely happy with having done so little in such a long period of time, but it's still an improvement over the previous release, even thô it's a modest one.

If this game interests you at all, please, please give it a try and let us know what you think. Did you enjoy playing? Would you recommend this game to a friend? What was your favorite aspect? What is the number one thing you would like to see changed? Feedback of this nature is invaluable, so if you have any, I would love to hear it!

For more information on the game, screenshots, and (somewhat outdated) videos, see the website:

How to actually license my game?

So I finishing all work "on paper" and soon will begin to actually create assets and code for my game, I will use Godot Engine. So the question I have is how to licence all that? I suppose I will host my code in github or git lab but how about assets? Where do I put them? The game will be proposed on Itchio if that matters.

What is the best open source game in your opinion?

Hello everyone!

I recently discovered open source gaming and I feel like I'm introduced to a whole new world!

So what open source game is the best in your opinion? My vote probably goes to openmw and even though it requires a legitimate copy of the game, the project is super cool!

Let me know what you think.

OpenPirates old repository - an abandoned clone of Pirates Gold with some potential?

I've been searching the web for a clone of the classic Sid Meier game Pirates Gold, and I've found this old repository of what seems to be an incomplete cloning project. I was curious about this, because I think having a 100% free clone of this game would be a very nice integration to any Linux games repository. However, I'm having trouble getting this thing to compile on Linux. Is anyone willing to help here?
