What went wrong?

This could have been the game that presents free software to masses and explains in a fun way why using free software is important.

There is still time to make it happen.

FOSS game engine called Godot was released some time after GTG project was abandoned, so now we have better tools to make it.
There is also a project that aims to make FOSS engine for GTA 3, but is far from completed.

Post ideas, how could fun game present FOSS philisophy and ethics to normalfags-

That was probably coded from scratch

There are many FOSS tools that would make game development much easier

Also, the QT version is completely different, and it only has the main menu.

I just found out that UnrealEditor has LiveEdit plugin, which basically allows collaborative game development in real time. Quite hardcore if you ask me.
I think that Godot engine could use something similar.
I assume that Godot is the best free / open source engine for general game development, correct me if I'm wrong.

Just make a textbased adventure like the old school games, one that requires you to use the cli and teaches you some gnu/linux and bash skills in the process. A game that shows new users the power of the cli and how GUIs are for gays, females, And niggers

If you thought a GTA clone with a zero marketing budget is going to spread free software to everyone, you're surely mistaken. It won't even make it anywhere outside the niche.

Xenko is better

I mean at least is has been used in a game that was actually released

Autism at its finest.
Now that we have graphic capability you can't market anything without them and you're stupid to assume you could.

but it ended up being Maze clone

however I believe that it would get outside of /g/
maybe even to GOG or ironically on Steam

Should make it a doom clone. There should be plenty of doom clone tutorials avail for /g/-pajeet tier coders to just fork doom and add some stallman shit

You said it yourself, a proper game engine and/or libraries. Now we have options.
Game Engines: id Tech 4, Godot, Urho3D, libGDX.
Libraries: OpenGL (+ GLFW), OpenAL, OpenCL.
There is also SDL of course.

But why not using an existing game, add it some history and art works and bang, you have a working game?

It doesn't take much to make a game if you know the tools.
Blender + OpenAL = Yo Frankie!
Is pretty for a 3d platformer and is based on a tool so easy probably /g/'s neet can get in to.

Or maybe hunt for devs in /agdg/ - Amateur Game Dev General. Those losers ask for colab all the time.
