    FreeCS

    FreeCS

    FreeCS is a free-software reimplementation of Counter-Strike 1.5.

    FreeCS is a free-software reimplementation of Counter-Strike 1.5 running on the FTEQW engine. All it is, is a game-logic re-implementation in QuakeC, an architecture independent programming language. FreeCS is not a game-engine as it relies on FTEQW (released under the GPL V2). All this makes it possible to play FreeCS on virtually any platform! No DRM! No third-party accounts! Just download, play, contribute. The game-logic is written by me with help of twhl.info's wiki. It has since been incorporated into the Nuclide project, which re-implements more than just CS 1.5.

    KonsolScript and Game Engine

    KonsolScript and Game Engine

    Free and Open Game Programming Language for Windows and GNU/Linux

    KonsolScript is a free and open source, scripting language primarily intended for 2D games development. KonsolScript Development Team believes that the unavailability of games on GNU/Linux desktops is one of the major concerns why people keep using unauthorized copies of proprietary OS over GNU/Linux and that is something the Development Team is ought to address – we are doing our part to help promote GNU/Linux as a viable gaming platform for desktops both for Game Publishers and Gamers. The whole Game Development Kit is suitable for teaching 2D game programming. The end goal of this project is to have a common gaming platform for Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac OS, including mobile platforms like Android where any newbie can learn how to make his game/animation etc. A lot of work has been made and a lot more is to be done. It might need to hire programmers to make an engine for Android, and Mac OS, then some in-house testers for stability among these platform

    IsoRealms Spindizzy and Isorealms Engine

    IsoRealms Spindizzy and Isorealms Engine

    An isometric arcade-style game of skill, puzzles and exploration

    You are cartographer for undiscovered worlds; your task is to explore and map all areas of the recently discovered strange dimension of Hangworld. In order to complete your task, you take control of GERALD. However, fuel is expensive and funding can only be supplied as long as progress is being made, so it is vital to explore new areas and recover jewels. Spindizzy is a remake of the 1986 classic computer game of the same name, originally developed by Paul Shirley. The remake features true 3D OpenGL graphics and runs on a custom-built engine called Isorealms. The Isorealms engine features a complete content creation toolkit for modifying and extending Spindizzy, as well as offering the opportunity to create entirely new projects from scratch. Isorealms content creation tools are aimed at users of all experiences, from those who simply want to build new worlds to those who want to take advantage of advanced features such as Lua scripting and custom asset importation.
