Open Source Morrowind Version 0.16.0 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the with-many-eyes-even-that-many-bugs-are-shallow dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The OpenMW team recently released a new version of their open source engine. While the project is not fully playable yet, the goal is to preserve Morrowind, provide modders a better engine and tool kit for creating their works, and make it cross-platform. Like most open source projects, they are always seeking new contributors. So, what do you think; what's the state of FLOSS games that are not first-person shooters?"

    While it is common to find unpolished (or more accurately, unfinished) games, there are a few that are up to par with commercial games, or nearly so.

    Battle for Wesnoth especially. Also UFO: Alien Invasion, Freeciv... and I want to list Nethack and roguelikes, but that niche is intentionally unpolished.
