• What open source games do you play?

  I'm a big fan of Flare, and it was a sleeper hit for me because I didn't grow up with games like Diablo. It's open-source, and while it has a pretty short campaign in the vanilla version, it has a lot of fan-made campaigns and mods. It's not the most engaging game I've played, but it's fun to zone out to while listening to podcasts. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Unity merges with IronSource, an ad company. Time for gamedevs to consider Godot?

  Therefore, if a game has to use an off-the-shelf engine, at least make it an open-source engine like FLARE or O3DE. If you're picking libraries, use something permissively licensed, so you don't have to try to negotiate a commercial license to combine something with a copyleft, like recently happened to the remaster of the old Blade Runner point-and-click adventure game. Weird licenses mix together about as well... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Ask HN: Favourite Open Source Game?

  > Dungeon Crawl This is a favorite. And just to add, after I got a bit tired of roguelikes I tried out Flare and got hooked on the old version in my distro's repos. Later I found it is still under active development and really fun, with a greatly improved base campaign and community mods available as well. Be sure to get the AppImage rather than whatever might be in older repos if you're running Linux.... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Linux Gaming - What are you favorite Native Games to play?

  Why not give Flare-Free/Libre Action Roleplaying Engine a try? Base game is diabloesque but it's easily moddable. Source: about 2 years ago

• You cannot play Diablo 2 resurrected after 30 days of being offline

  I also recommend FlareRPG [0] to try out. It has way more pleasant navigation than Diablos, reminds me a bit of the Divine Divinity [1], which is also awesome single-player game. [0]: https://flarerpg.org/ [1]: https://www.gog.com/game/divine_divinity. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
