Have a look at the 2022 game jam, one of the themes was "story-driven": https://content.minetest.net/collections/ContentDB/game_jam_2022/

@grumpygamer is Monkey Island source code open yet ? Just wondering (I'm not in game dev industry so I've no idea about how Open Source movement permeated it, if at all)

@strk It is not and I doubt it ever will be. Disney might "license" you the source for money. SCUMMVM reverse engineered SCUMM, but that is only the engine, not the game.

I love the charming feel of . You can always tell how much of a labour of love these projects are.

(Usually) rustic graphics, lack of hand-holding, fast load times and sense of freedom really sets these games apart to commercial games.

The idea of developers coming together to create something purely fun, often with no practical use except to share and make others happy, really makes me smile.

@cnx @vv221 @psa I'm going to have to give hedgewars a go, I loved Worms when I was younger!

Highly recommended, @matthew, and BTW some veterans still hang around for online games, which are coordinated on on libera.chat (or just open the official room list at random hours). Cc: @vv221 and @psa

To Lands Unknown, a custom campaign for Battle for Wesnoth, really is impressive! I wouldn't have thought you could do this with the game:

The character art & some of the writing seem to be some of its weaker spots, but honestly, it's damned impressive regardless.

Major kudos to all involved, it's a wicked accomplishment.

TIL that Freeciv uses...A fandom wiki for large portions of its documentation. Agh! 😱

Somebody please help rescue them from that misery.

Nice!

You'll find yourself getting into a rhythm with it.

Watch out for rocks obstructed by trees! 😁

The game reminds me a lot of Tiny Wings. Now THAT was a lovely game.
