I enjoy Linux gaming via WINE/Proton, but I often wonder about Linux-native FOSS games. You often see brilliant titles like 0AD and Mindustry mentioned, but there are also some unspoken gems in the “genre” like Minetest and it makes me wonder what other FOSS games are out there, that people just don’t talk about much? I’m looking to discover and play more of these titles.
You’re correct, although I didn’t necessarily dispute that.
I also think it’s awesome to see FOSS software people are buying voluntarily to support the project! Stuff like Cataclysm: DDA being on Steam for instance.
But is Selaco’s source code available and does it have a permissive license to distribute, like the GPL? That’s what I had trouble substantiating. Happy to be shown otherwise! But I think this might be a case of “The engine / platform is FOSS, but the IP is not.”
Looks like a really cool game though. I love the artwork.

The engine is FOSS under GPL3, so… yeah.
