@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?

There are several open source games that I love and have played regularly:

Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart
Veloren
Xonotic
Super Tux Kart

I wish more games were open source.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon is the best mobile game I've played since FTL and that was only available on tablet. It's a wonderful game. I like it so much that I sent the developer $10 just as a sign of appreciation.

Absolutely, I honestly find the trope of penetrating into repetitive grey dungeon a really unappealing theme for an entire game but Shattered Pixel Dungeon just has such a tight core gameplay loop I end up enjoying myself.
