Libre Game Wiki is good but most lists like this has things that can be hard to get running or things too early in development to be a good recommendation. Free software games tend not to have binaries. We need to make it easy to install. Flatpak/flathub is a possible solution to that problem. For Anagramarama I decided to make Linux binaries available on the web site and uploaded it to itch.io for a low price to help development of free software games. I also got it included in Fedora. My personal attempt to improve the situation is with an achievement system. Gamerzilla allows you to publish achievements online. Friends can then go to your Gamerzilla site and see what games you have been playing. I like to think of it as a virtual bookshelf where you can see what your friends find to be worthwhile. If your friend tried game X but only got one achievements and got twenty on another game, he probably liked that other game more. My Gamerzilla test site is: http://108.49.106.217/ http://identicalsoftware.com/gamerzilla/ -- Dennis Payne dulsi@identicalsoftware.com https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@dulsi
