Where are the Good Open Source Games?
piratePenguin:
X-Moto, brilliant game.
H_TeXMeX_H:
Yeah, it's pretty cool ... I installed it yesterday ... only bad part is some of the levels are impossible.
I found it on http://www.happypenguin.org/

I myself am a game developer, so my opinion may count more...
I plan to release my game in stages:
First 6 months, it will be 40 bucks under a proprietary license
Next 6 months, it will be 20 bucks under same license
Next 6 months, it will be released under the GPL (still 20 bucks for a cd, and old copies aren't changed to GPL)
Next 6 months, BSD-style license.
New version every 12 months
Release under Winshit, GNU/Linux, *BSD, Mac and every console I can find has the power.
Wait for it. It will be big.

... uhhhhhh ... I think I'll stick with the standard $49.99 all-in-one-box-and-under-one-license games

It makes sense to me:
The only ones who have to pay a ton are those who want it immediately. You can then get it cheaper, then free (both as in freedom and cost).
It's essentially the same as the Quake/Doom software, except announcing it ahead of time.

same... and it won't be big unless you work for a major company like Atari, Sierra, EA games, etc.
oh, and good luck getting it ported to everything - that process can be harder than making the game itself.

I'll do my best to make it big, and that will take time. Expect it in 5-10 years. And yes, the porting is hell on earth. The XML-based engine will be awesome, though. No more details other than that it will be a first-person sci-fi shooter.
Note: If I end up completely forgetting about the project and/or get transferred to another division, it won't appear.

Doom and Quake aren't totally free, only the source code is, the rest (graphic artwork and sound) is under a more restricted license.

Neverball and Wesnoth are cool.
