A curated list of awesome FOSS games (github.com)

I decided to write down a list of complete (no alpha/beta), playable (no proprietary dependencies), FOSS videogames.

I added all the games I could find online + all of the games that came to my memory.

Feel free to have a look to see if there's something you didn't know. And please suggest anything I missed, but please do not suggest pre-release or unfinished games.

Thank you!

EDIT: thank you very much everyone for the comments and for sharing additional awesome lists of FOSS material. Hopefully one day I will have the time to sift through all these games and pick all the non-pre-release ones which don't have any proprietary dependencies.

In the meantime, here's a copy of the links:

LibreGameWiki - A wiki of free games and related topics started by Han Dao.
Open Source Game Clones - Open-source or source-available remakes of great old games in one place.
Open source games - A list of different open-source video games and commercial video games open-source remakes.

Hi! So nice to see you here!

I hope you don't mind, I would prefer to only keep finished games on this list. There already are lots of awesome curated lists which include pre-release FOSS games.

Is any FOSS game really every "finished"?

In any case, Hypnagonia is "finished" in the sense that you can play a run end-to-end. It just could use more content, but being excluded for such lists doesn't help find collaborators.

While I understand where you're coming from, I think this list exists for a different purpose than to find you collaborators. While I didn't make the list, I do like having a list of competed FOSS games somewhere, as I think it fills a gap in FOSS game reporting. I think there should be (and know there are) other lists specifically for FOSS games looking for collaborators.

Fair enough, in that case let's add it. But if you don't mind me sharing my opinion: you say everywhere that it's a pre-release software, and the 0.x.x version supports this hypothesis. If you think it's ready to be considered a completed project (but not necessarily also finished) you might want to be more explicit about it.
