Xonotic is the only one I’ve played out of all the games in this post. Only tried it for a couple hours, but it was fun.

Having a lot of fun with it, but I’m not really that nostalgic for F-Zero, despite playing a fair bit of it back in the day.

Now give me a Super Mario Kart version of this sort of thing and I’ll be totally sold.

Games rarely work with an open source business model, so that’s why there aren’t any really great ones.

Solumbran,

Tell me you have no clue about video games without telling me you have no clue about video games.

Sethayy,

its funny how wrong they are, like games are probably the best suited case for it - no massive security risks, players could implement features they want.

if Minecraft was open source from the get go, it’d probably be bigger than unreal by now

Solumbran,

Big or not, they talked about great games, and there are many incredible open source games, however not always very popular.

I mean, technically even games like morrowind could be called open source now, with Open Morrowind.

MossBear,

It’s not all about business models. People make things out of personal interest too.

If they’re on Fandom, it’s because Fandom fucking sucks to work with. It sucks to view, and it sucks to edit. So I could understand people not wanting to deal with that shit.

They’re also still new and fairly large games. Unless the dev itself makes the wiki, they don’t usually have much content the first year or so of a game’s life.

I think part of the problem is just that there are a lot more good games that people know about! Unfortunately one of the tradeoffs for all the riches of heaven is that it’s a lot harder to cover them all.

Open Hexagon is pretty good if you enjoy music reaction/arcade games. It’s an open source successor of Super Hexagon with several community made level packs. The only flaw is the steep learning curve of the gameplay.

You should try the special events when they rotate. I feel it makes the game a little less repetitive.

Grands prix are pretty “casual” for something big, and they often pretty fun. The pro tracks I always do to get better at them.

Team battles are meh but they’re still cool

@Pxtl@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, I feel the same about the events. But there’s only 2 “pro” tracks (White Land and Port Town 2), and I think they’ve dropped the frequencies of the full Grand Prix now with the Miniprix (which also include White Land and Port Town 2 as their final race)… which means I still haven’t played on Silence (I tend to be a bit too aggressive and end up blowing up on the 3rd or 4th track on Grand Prix).

That’s still a total rotation of 6 tracks (I’m not counting Silence because it’s hard to get there), and most of the time you’re playing on only 2 of them.

Xylight,
@Xylight@lemmy.xylight.dev avatar

I really hope they add all tracks soon, maybe even some new ones

This game has serious potential. It they end it prematurely Nintendo has gone even more mad.

I too, have never reached Silence because sand ocean always causes me to crash :p

I mean even without inventing new F-Zero content, there are other Mode-7-style F-Zero games (that nobody played, but still they exist). It wouldn’t ruin my nostalgia to play tracks from BS F-Zero GP2 or the GBA F-Zero games. But yeah, you can’t tell me splatting some tiles down for new tracks would be that hard… I’m sure this is a game where you could even procedurally generate the tracks pretty well and eliminate the “memorization” aspect. I’d love that as an “event mode”.

If we’re talking stuff on F-Droid, the big one there for me is UnCiv. It’s an excellent fully-free reimplementation of Civ V… with all the nightmarish one-more-turn-oh-God-is-it-dawn addictive problems that implies. Only real flaw is that by adapting Civ V, it also adapts Civ V’s big flaw: traffic jams. Unciv units neither stack nor combine so waging war in an obstacle-rich landscape is hellishly tedious. Also the higher difficulties feel just abusively random and unfair because the hard-level AIs get free resources, but that’s normal for a Civ game.
