@games I am a game developer working on game called Mushy Score. I decided that my niche would be to create open source games. I think these could be helpful for developers or teachers to teach about games and how they are made. Most open source games are small game jam games, but there are few “real games” that are open source like 0 A.D. and Doom. As a non-developer do you think open source games could be good thing?

I'm a fan. I've been playing a heap of Shattered Pixel Dungeon lately which is a fork of Pixel Dungeon. I think it's really cool that anyone can make their own fork of a base project and tweak it how they like. Especially if the original ever gets abandoned.

I'm a game dev by trade, but more of an artist than a programmer, but I like to work on little hobby projects and being able to look into source code is really helpful and nice.
