Endless Sky Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Lunatic Fringe is a game originally distributed as an AfterDark screensaver

  I have yet to try out Endless Sky, the open source EV tribute act. Could be good. https://endless-sky.github.io. - Source: Hacker News / 11 days ago

• Naev – open-source game about space exploration, trade and combat

  Sounds very similar to Endless Sky[1] - another open source game drawing on the old Escape Velocity games. I really enjoyed both Endless Sky and the Escape Velocity games, so I'll have to check out Naev at some point! [1] https://endless-sky.github.io/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• 6 free games updated in the last 60 days

  #2 - Endless Sky - ALSO inspired by Escape Velocity, but IMO this is more polished Escape Velocity clone and could reasonably be called the modern successor. EXCELLENT space trade/piracy/combat and definitely take some good strategy to get far into the game. Source: over 1 year ago

• [Spoilers likely] the power level of endless sky compared to other universes

• Where can I find projects that are 'open source' in a broader sense than just code/programming?

• What is your favorite open source Linux game? Mine is Wideland (Best way to describe is the way Settlers 3 should have been)

  I used to love tactical RPGs, but as I've aged I don't have the patience for them. I really wanted to play Battle of Wesnoth (https://www.wesnoth.org/), but it was not to be. Then I found this gem and it scratched my space sim itch, https://endless-sky.github.io/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Been stuck in a rut lately with gaming and life lol, what game should I play?

  Try Endless Sky for PC (download for PC and there’s an android build). It has a little over 100 hrs of story content and a lot of customization. You can optimize a small fleet (or one ship) or create a death ball fleet. Source: over 1 year ago

• The Pale Beyond sold 10% of copies on Linux

  They wouldn't write a game for Linux. They'd write a portable game that compiles for Linux, Mac, and Windows, just like typical open-source games except with a higher budget. Source: over 1 year ago

• Games focused on naval/spaceship trading, exploration and combat. Better if role-playing friendly.

  Also check out Endless Sky, a modern, fan-made, spiritual successor with lots of QoL improvements! Source: almost 2 years ago

• What do i do now? - SRPG4

  There are two desktop games I can recommend: endless-sky, which I have sunk many hours in, and star valor which I haven't downloaded or played yet, since I don't have Windows, but it looks fantastic. Source: over 2 years ago

• Any good Spaceflight RPGs in 2022?

  Nonetheless, I will suggest Endless Sky. It's not quite what you're looking for, I think, but it is free and it is open source. Figured I would mention it because it costs you nothing to take a look and try. Source: over 2 years ago

• Games with a lot of depth to how much I can upgrade/get better ships? (But not Eve)

  If you want something free, Endless Sky might be your jam. Source: over 2 years ago

• [PC] Suggest some dirt cheap games that you think is pretty good

  Endless Sky More open-source stuff (notice a pattern yet?). This is a free game about making money and enemies in outer space. I don't know if you've played the old Escape Velocity series, but this is kind of like that. Source: over 2 years ago

• Ask HN: What game you wished existed?

  Https://endless-sky.github.io/ > Endless Sky is a 2D space trading and combat game similar to the classic Escape Velocity series. Explore other star systems. Earn money by trading, carrying passengers, or completing missions. Use your earnings to buy a better ship or to upgrade the weapons and engines on your current one. Blow up pirates. Take sides in a civil war. Or leave human space behind and hope to find... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

  There's also Endless Sky, an open source game that's similar to the Escape Velocity series. Source: over 2 years ago

• Could you please help me choose a logo for "Galactic Merchant"? It is a game about running a space business, where you can, among others, trade or produce goods, do noble or shady deals and influence politics.

  Looks extremely similar to Endless Sky but then, many sea colonization games look equally similar on the surface but play very differently. Source: over 2 years ago
