0 A.D. Open-Source RTS Game Drops Alpha Label After 16 Years (linuxiac.com)
submitted 1 day ago by cm0002@lemy.lol to c/OpenSourceGames@programming.dev
6 comments fedilink

Wildfire Games has released 0 A.D 28 “Boiorix”, a new version of the free, open-source real-time strategy game of ancient warfare. With one very important detail. 0 A.D. has been in public development since the early 2010s with numbered alpha versions. Now, for the first time in 16 years, with release 28, the team has dropped the “Alpha” label entirely.

Another major highlight of this release is the addition of a new playable faction: the Germans. This semi-nomadic group includes the Cimbri and Teutones, and features a flexible economy with supply wagons and fortified wagon camps.

Widelands, the open source Settlers-like, devs plan to ban all AI generated contributions (www.gamingonlinux.com)
submitted 3 days ago by cm0002@toast.ooo to c/OpenSourceGames@programming.dev

Widelands is a free and open source Settlers-like strategy game, and their developers appear to be setting a firm stance against any AI generated contributions. In case you missed it - back in December 2025 they had a big new release.

Since AI generation is a big topic right now causing all sorts of issues like hardware shortages including HDDs and Steam Decks along with price hikes everywhere, and with AI making a mess of other open source projects, it's interesting to see some projects come out completely against it.

The first release of 0 A.D. that doesn't have an Alpha label attached, as the free and open source RTS has grown up with their faster release schedule.

From the Discord:

It's been eleven months, but we're back with a ~~small~~ COLOSSAL Update!

This update includes a fresh take on AoTTG1's Colossal Titan and Trost missions, alongside some other small additions across the board. We've also done a ton of work under the hood, which has led to much better game feel already, such as some hook fixes to make things more in-line with the first game, and these backend changes will also let us make more and better content for you in the future! This also means that we should be able to provide steadier and more frequent updates. If you want to help with those, feel free to apply to join the team in any of the applications channels!

Check out below for all the changes, additions, and updates. Thanks for playing! It's good to be back.

Official Announcement - A New Automation Utility - Automat (store.steampowered.com)
submitted 3 weeks ago by cm0002@digipres.cafe to c/OpenSourceGames@programming.dev
0 comments fedilink

I'm happy to say that a new open-source game automation utility that I've been working on for the past 2 years is now coming to Steam!

It has a website at https://automat.org/. That website might be a little hard to parse - so here are are some links:

While Steam version is still in "coming soon" mode, you can grab a release from GitHub.

One word of warning - it doesn't play well with Wayland (it's fairly hard to interop with other apps on Wayland) - but I'm optimistic about this bit in the near future.

Open-Source Crown Game Engine v0.60 Released (www.phoronix.com)

While the Godot Engine receives a lot of attention as a prominent open-source game engine, it's far from the only one in this space. Another open-source game engine capping out 2025 with a new release is the Crown Engine.

Crown Engine continues moving ahead as a cross-platform solution focused on flexibility, performance, and a fast iterative approach for this MIT-licensed code paired with GPLv3+ game engine tooling.

SuperTux 0.7 Reaches Beta For Reviving An Open-Source Classic (www.phoronix.com)
submitted 1 month ago by cm0002@lemy.lol to c/OpenSourceGames@programming.dev
1 comments fedilink

Longtime Linux users likely have fond memories of SuperTux as the open-source jump-n-run game that used to be included on some early Linux live CD/DVDs for this Super Mario Bros inspired game. There hasn't been a new release of SuperTux in over four years but out today is the beta of SuperTux 0.7 as a major overhaul to the free software, family-friendly game title.

SuperTux 0.7 beta is described as "perhaps one of the largest facelifts to the base game since the introduction of milestone 2!" SuperTux 0.7 has been redoing various worlds and bringing new artwork and music and more. They warn that it may feel like a completely different game albeit still the same fundamentals.

Free and open source Settlers-like, Widelands v1.3 is out with market trading and new maps (www.gamingonlinux.com)
submitted 2 months ago by cm0002@infosec.pub to c/OpenSourceGames@programming.dev
1 comments fedilink

Widelands continues to grow as a great free and open source Settlers-like strategy game, with a brand new holiday release out now. It's fun seeing projects like this continue on for so long, especially as I grew up playing the likes of The Settlers on the Amiga and later Settlers 2 on PC. Good times, absolute classics.

The game has singleplayer and multiplayer support, with the developers noting it was originally inspired by Settlers 2 but has "significantly more variety and depth to it".
