  Well how about I introduce you to... FreeCiv! https://freeciv.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• We built an entire game with graphics almost exclusively generated by DALL-E 3 (open source)

  There are many other commercial projects similar to this (colonist.io landover.io etc). None of them are open source though. This has been done in the past extensively (see freeciv.org, or Terasology, or 0 AD etc). Source: 7 months ago

• C-evo Distant Horizon (Civilization 2 and FreeCiv like opensource fan game)

  While many CivFanatics have probably heard of FreeCiv and Civ2Clone, there is also another freely available opensource indie game inspired by Civilization 2 called C-evo! C-evo aims to recreate the classic mid 90s TBS Civ2 like experience, but with more emphasis on a custom military unit designer, extremely powerful/deadly AI, and careful design of the rules, resulting in a true challenge. The game uses similar... Source: 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Released games built on FOSS engines?

  FreeCiv uses its own FOSS engine[0], can keep you occupied for days. [0] http://freeciv.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Thinking of setting up a private server

  The client and server are separate binaries; they are released together on freeciv.org, but Linux distributions put them into different packages. Source: 11 months ago

• Featured Mod of the Month: Phil Ashby

  Publishing on platforms like itch.io are a great way to get feedback (but see comments about comments earlier!) and to see if an idea is worth pursuing. Self-published mini-games are also a good way to scratch that gamedev itch when it isn't your day job too - I should push a couple myself actually! - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• I randomly got MK11 booster when I haven't played the game for almost 4 years. Is my account compromised or something?

  This guy might not be farming. I'm not, but I have hundreds of cheap games from early humble bundles, huge itch.io fund raiser bundles, etc. Source: 6 months ago

• [SUGGESTION] If you liked The Painscreek Killing and Obra Dinn...

  I just found this game on itch.io and it's SO GOOD! Source: 6 months ago

• System Suggestions

  Combat is as gritty as the GM makes it. Healing is TOUGH out of the box, so by default it is already pretty gritty. In fact, part of the crew premise is players can have a few 'cast of characters' that sub in when a PC is in a rough spot. You as the GM choose what type of physical harm to give out, and how often - so it's pretty controllable. Like I said, look at itch.io for some alternate healing ideas if you... Source: 6 months ago

• Civitai dropped by its cloud computing provider after reports of possible CSAM

  I have just registered at itch.io and paid $10 for kudos. I don't have a GPU-equipped PC, I am just curious about the Horde system. Downloaded the client to my Windows laptop and ran it to generate a 512x512 picture of Julia fractal (my test prompt) with the Midjourney model, there seemed to be no SDXL models to choose from. It took about a minute to generate. The 2nd generation (with the same prompt), which took... Source: 6 months ago
