Open source first person shooter (FPS)?

Open Source@lemmy.ml – 57 points – 13 months ago

Does anyone know any open source FPS still maintained? I know some like Unvanquished and Xonotic and they are ok but I would like to know some others, if they exist.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I mean there is the classic GZDoom + Freedoom

Another gzdoom compatible one is blasphemer, basically freedoom but for heretic(has it's own original levels to be clear)

liblast is a wip fps project for the godot engine

+ Oblige + BrutalDoom

AUR: doom-infinity

Work in progress: https://libla.st/

Looks interesting, they deserve attention. Maybe if they would be on Github would help a lot

They are on Codeberg, which is a much more vibrant FOSS community than Github. I highly doubt being on Github has any sort of benefit for these kind of non-corporate projects. It would be probably detrimental as many FOSS enthusiasts refuse to use Github.

This looks super cool; thanks for sharing.

I've played a lot of Xonotic in my day.

When I played regularly, it was mostly back before Xonotic was renamed/forked from Nexuiz. But it's a great game. Similar to Quake 3. It's built on a customized and modernized fork of Quake 1.

It's got active servers, even.

Does open arena, red eclipse 2 and warfork count?

Sauerbraten.

There are always some players on Venice map.

Cube 2: Sauerbraten seems to still be maintained. I haven't played it for a long time, though.

Know what would be interesting? If Valve released the code of CS1.6 for free and the required tooling. For what's worth I believe large portions of that was already leaked or at least reverse engineered.

Cube 2 / Sauerbraten is apparently still being updated.

It's been like 15 years since I played it lol. But I remember it being a good Quake/Unreal style deathmatch shooter with a really sick level editor.

Red Eclipse 2 was mentioned but it’s a great example. Using the same engine and hasn’t had a release since 2021 is Assault Cube Reloaded. https://github.com/acreloaded/acr

Can I add that I'd like to know if they're PvP or story driven. I'm only interested in the second.

There was IW4X. GPLv3, I believe.

etlegacy... the best.

I just tried it and I love it, I have absolutely nothing against the other recommended games but I'm more player Battlefield-type FPS and this is just awesome, thank you!

I'm playing this game since 20 years... and its gameplay is amazing. Gold you like it !
