That is work in progress

If you want to get things done concent in person and online with various communities getting things done. Talk to people, some will know other groups/organizations you can join up with

Then it comes down to getting to know others in those organizations/groups to then be brainstorming, doing, and collaborating together

We all got this!! Find what you want to focus on then join others that are focused on it. Asking them directly what you can do since they have been in the fight longer than you have (Better when they are a veteran that knows what does and does not work)

Whoa that's awesome! Have any guides? Also how is Gentoo on Chromebook for gaming?

We all dream of electric open source vehicles and public transit!

To people still on Windows 11 go back to Windows 10 some way somehow if you really are set on not using Linux for whatever reason

I seriously hope the mod community can rally around the OpenFNV engine when it is ready. It is being brought to life by some people who found that OpenMW can pull data from Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, and Oblivion. Maybe in future it can pull data from Skyrim and Fallout 4 too

Then get multiplayer mods for each of them going!

Well for now I'm not on Skyrim VR but when Steam Frame comes out and it gets really popular then that will incentivize an official Skyrim proper VR port with full mod support to be made

Glad for Ukraine, when it is at 100% then it will be possible to build stage 2 more.

Stage 2 being defense of the ones in Ukrainian offensives of retaking land.

Ukraine making robots to retake land would be ideal too

What is wero? Don't you mean Euro?

[–] viov@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I have no clue how to check if they are European alternatives but Ironfox, and Cromite are fire!

Same for Loops by Pixelfed too (Tiktok alt)

FairEmail (For any email providers you have all in one place while respecting your privacy)

Accrescent app store is being built up as a proper alternative to Play Store too

Make of that what you will, just brought this as peace offering to the Open Source/Linux community to hear me out and because I thought it was interesting /s :p

Edit: This can double as a suggestions post for other people new to contributing to Open Source/GNU Linux/Game Deving


My Goals:

  1. Want to socialize and get to know other Open Source/Game Dev/Software Engineer/DevOps/Linux people. Even if I know people just online. I'm a newbie to it all. Are there online groups for any of that in say Discord servers, forums, or elsewhere?

  2. Want to help work on existing Open Source Games. These are some I have in mind to help where I can:

  • Unciv: To make Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, and Fallout mods for this game.
  • SuperTux (Some mods of new worlds, enemies, storylines, and adding mascots from Open Source community that have not been added yet)
  • OpenMW (To build it out with the team. Same for new land mods to add lands outside of Tamriel: Akavir, Thras, Yokuda, etc)
  • OpenFNV/OpenOblivion/OpenFO3 (A person is working on them since OpenMW is able to pull data from those games so very possible just lots of work to be done)
  • GTA Project Eagle (To help Dev it, and then help to bring it to phones in a team once it is in a completed state)
  • Beyond All Reason (Love RTS games and well I don't know how yet but would love to make something for it)
  • Xonotic (Maps and shooting sounds: pew pew pew)
  1. To make some original IP smaller mobile games that are actually fun to play on side to hopefully fund my ability to spend more time game deving overtime. To learn more with practice building smaller games from start to finish solo, and maybe with others potentially. Android/Linux Mobile/Linux PC as the focuses for those smaller games, and the bigger games in future

  2. To build out some open source teams, that can continue even when I leave the teams, to build new open source small-sized games, and later medium/large-sized game projects. Have lots in mind:

Tux Party Revamp game, TuxWorld (3D-Platformer with Multiplayer), Old School Final Fantasy-esque, Tux Call of Duty Zombies-like, etc

  1. To build out Open Source/Linux communities however I can:

Growing the UI/UX, Art, Animation, GIF, Social Media portions of the community for building up outreach of Open Source/Linux around the world. Those are some avenues to expand reach to get more funding, users, and new devs.

Helping to build up new/existing platforms to help encourage collaboration on projects, and highlight needed funding so they can be improved upon. To help projects that need more of either funding, volunteers, or both to get them.

So with that in mind what do you all recommend I do to start off? Please and thanks for any suggestions! Want to start small and properly get myself going on here.
