At noon, I had my usual lunch with a food video, then got up and made a cup of Gao Mo.

I smell the tea and enjoy the afternoon sunshine. I sit lazily on the desk and open GitHub habitually and wander around, brewing sleepiness.

By accident, I found myself on GitHub:

github.com/topics/game

I was already half asleep, wondering what fun it would be to play an open source mini-game, but after a quarter of a joss stick, I wouldn’t feel sleepy. I’ve seen a lot of open source games in my life, but this one is the most “wow” I’ve ever seen.

Let’s take a look at some of the most impressive open source projects in this issue.

All games in this issue are supported in Chinese and run on Windows, Linux, macOS and other systems

1. Wesnoth

A free open source turn-based strategy game. Set against the backdrop of a battle to reclaim the throne of Venor, the game is chinese-language, with rich maps, multiple classes and races, a variety of high-freedom gameplay, DIY maps and online multiplayer. But the disadvantage is that the attack hit probability is surprisingly low, easy to cause blood pressure rise, many players joke: “other games want money, this game is deadly.” Will C++ god quickly to modify the parameters, save the children.

4. Shapez. IO (Alien Factory)

Let you play creativity, enjoy the fun of thinking puzzle games. The goal of the game is to build a factory to produce graphics that meet the requirements. It’s easy to operate and you only need to set up the facilities to automatically create various graphics, but as the level gets deeper and harder, it gets more and more brain-burning.

5, Veloren

An independent pixel style RPG game. It was inspired by games such as Breath of the Wild, Dwarf Fortress and Minecraft. You can make items, synthesize items, level up combat, tame creatures, explore dungeon caves, glide through the air, and trade with NPCS. The game has a wide open world, although the graphics are not high quality but the materials and music are original, open source is not easy and can be cherished.

The last

This time I stumbled into the GitHub game area and got a few fun games. One of the most incredible things is that these well-made, diverse games are all open source! We all know that making good games to play is hard, and making good open source games to play is even harder. These open source game projects take years to maintain, sometimes more than 10 years!

Time may make the graphics of the game obsolete and the gameplay seem less original, but the code, missions, music, and Settings that have been honed over time do not fade, but become more precious and classic. Polishing open source projects with artisan spirit will be a classic, and these open source projects have opened my eyes again.

Those are all the open source game projects covered in this episode. If you enjoyed this episode, please give it a thumbs up.
