I love Endless Sky, it’s honestly one of my favorite games! I have a pack of cool SciFi art that I found on Nexus and I’ve been slowly replacing the stock photos for my personal game. I’m also a sucker for TeeWorlds, it is delightfully infuriating and hillarious to play. I know that’s baby’s first FOSS games but I’m new to open source games. That’s why I want to hear your recommendations and see what are some other good ones out there.
I believe minetest is made in Lua, and it does not need restart to apply mods. Minetest is FOSS, does not has all the UI and graphic enhancements of Minecraft, but it runs in very old machines, is lightweight (maybe 100 mb or less), it has a lot of people playing everyday (more than 200, big servers usually receive less than 64 players), has a lot of modding community…
Minetest is mostly implemented in C++, but its mods and game content (which are also just mods) are implemented in Lua.
