sleepybisexualWhat are your favourite open source games?
AatubeIf Roblox counts as a game instead of a platform, then I guess Minetest also counts as an open-source game.
CrypticCoffeeRoblow isn’t a game. Minetest is an engine (providing it’s own API that game developers use to develop games), and a platform to distribute them. In a sense, Minetest is like Unity or Godot. Games built on Minetest include MineClone2/5, Nodecore, Exile etc.
Yeah, let me open up Unity for that vanilla gameplay experience, oh wait…
Also, are wc3 and hl also not games because they were used to develop and distribute games that ended up being more popular?
You are expanding the scope of what we're saying. Half Life is not a game engine, GoldenSrc is. Warcraft III doesn't appear to have a public game engine. However, Roblox & Minetest don't really have a bundled game.
Not really, wc3 and hl are definitely more “gamey” than Minetest, but you can still install Minetest to play and mod Minetest.
Minetest is the game that comes bundled with Minetest.
Minetest Game is the game that comes bundled with Minetest, not Minetest. Nobody said WC3 and HL is a game engine.
Horrible naming scheme, and I don’t think I’ve seen the Minetest Game ever mentioned as anything but just Minetest.
It's not a naming scheme, it's just the default and everything makes it clear that Minetest is the engine. It's kinda the example game.
