I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.

I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.

Feel free to have a look to see if there's something you didn't know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don't have any proprietary dependencies.

In the meantime, here's a copy of the links:

It's definitely done, apparently new development is still happening, but there hadn't been a new release for a long time.

Assets are licenced under the same licence as the engine, GPL2.

Sorry for being pedantic. I might be dumb, but I don't see any assets (sprites/models/sounds) in this repository. I think the license you linked might just be referring to the code.

The lack of recent releases isn't a discriminator for this list. And active development is certainly a plus.
