I mean first, I'd probably ask you to check out what exists.
RTS: Beyond All Reason
Roleplaying: Space Station 14 (Space Station 13 "sequel" decouples from Beyond Launcher and apparently easier to contribute and extend)
Roguelike: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
FPS: Unvanquished (I have never played or seen this one)
Theres much more here:

It may feel good to join something already moving than trying to get people to start over on something new.

Mindustry and Veloren are also pretty big and fun games!
Oh shit, I always forget Mindustry is open source!
