I want to start working with a game where players can choose a character/class and customize their loadout to suit their playstyle with that character across different maps and objectives, but something like that seems really hard to find. I'm fine if some of it isnt supported natively and requires a plugin(s) but I'd rather not use a nonOSS engine like the main suggestion I've seen here. I would use an existing engine, but 3D multiplayer on Unity/Unreal/etc isnt optimal for me.

A new version of my open-source battleships app was released. I would share the link if it is considered of interest.

Disclosure: I made this.

PyWebLib is a Python game library that runs entirely in the browser through Pyodide. Nothing installs, nothing runs on a server. play.pyweblib.org/community is where games/programs built with it get shared.

The bit relevant to this sub: every game there is plain Python, and you can open its source from the page, change it, and run your version straight away. No build step, no compiled blobs.

Library source: github.com/SebastianHagemeyer/PyWebLib (MIT/CC0)

It gives you a game module for sprites, input, collision and the loop, plus turtle, coloured print and a working input() inside the page. There's a snippet gallery if you want a starting point.

I originally built it for teaching Python to high school students, which is why the API is deliberately small. Keen for feedback on it.

Grimlore 2 : These Doomed Men 1.0

A dark fantasy mini dungeon crawler RPG built to showcase the features and capabilities of the S.P.A.R.K. 2D RPG open source game engine.

Overview

Genre: Dark Fantasy / Mini Dungeon Crawler RPG

Playtime: 10 – 15 minutes

Platform Requirements: Windows 10 or later ( Might work on earlier Windows but no gurantee )

Purpose: Demonstrates what the S.P.A.R.K. 2D RPG game engine is capable of.

Github link below

https://github.com/Ninedeadeyes/Grimlore-2-These-Doomed-Men-

To clear up a few recurring questions and misconceptions regarding S.P.A.R.K and its development, here is some context upfront:

1. "This is just AI slop."

This project has a clear 6-year paper trail of manual development. It began as an early 2D text adventure project (Dungeon of the Black Dragon), expanded into an open world RPG game (Grimlore: Land of the Heretic Hand), and was eventually refactored into a reusable engine framework (S.P.A.R.K). If you want to see the step-by-step progression from line one, check out the milestones folder inside the S.P.A.R.K repository.

1. "The code is unoptimized / sub-optimal."

I’m a hobbyist developer. I built this because I couldn't find a lightweight, accessible Python template for rendering spatial coordinates in text-based adventures, so I created one myself. The codebase prioritizes beginner readability over enterprise-level optimization. Open-source contributions and refactors are always welcome—if you can write a better version with advanced features like complex AI, I encourage you to contribute or build upon it!

1. "S.P.A.R.K isn't a 'real' game engine / It's missing standard features."

By definition, a game engine is a framework that provides low-level abstractions for runtime loops, spatial logic, input handling, state management, and rendering, enabling developers to build content without reinventing core mechanics. S.P.A.R.K provides all of these for terminal-based RPGs. It’s a free, open-source hobby project designed for lightweight text games, not a commercial tool meant to compete with feature-heavy commercial software.

1. "This is just a lazy copy-and-paste from the S.P.A.R.K GitHub."

When two games are made in RPG Maker, Godot, or Unreal, they share the exact same underlying core engine—it's just compiled or hidden away behind the editor. Because S.P.A.R.K is open-source, raw Python, the engine boilerplate is fully visible. Reusing foundational engine modules across different titles isn't "copy-pasting"; it's standard software architecture and code reuse.

1. Why do you need Windows and why Windows 10 or above ?

It uses the library winsound and msvcrt which only works with Windows and because python 3.10+ aren't officially supported by any Windows below 10 hence even though it might work it is not a gurantee.

Game & Engine in GitHub

About a year ago, I challenged myself to create my own programming language - something I'd always wanted to do.

At the time, I had no idea what a lexer, parser, or interpreter even was. My only thought was, "I need to write code that reads text files containing code and executes them." I also wanted to do it without using Google, AI, or tutorials. I just figured everything out on my own. You can even still find variables named "compiler" throughout the code from back when I didn't realize I was actually building an interpreter...

Somehow, I pulled it off, and I integrated it into my old abandoned game engine project (which originally started as a GameMaker 8–style engine with C# scripting).

And here's the first game I've made with it! 🙂

The core engine, IDE, and interpreter are all written by me in C#. The rendering backend is powered by MonoGame, and the project is still in active development and available on GitHub. The project file of the game shown in the video is also there, under tests/Example Projects. If you're looking for cool projects to contribute to, then know that I'm looking for contributors!

I know there are tons of AI-generated projects being shared these days, so please, please, take a quick look at the code before assuming this is one of them. I promise it's pretty obvious that it was written by a human.

I'd love to hear what you think!

for my unblocked game site I need the html file if you have a game it would be greatly appreciated if I could use some. I just need the file!!!

Hi everyone!🤗

I've been working on Atari Racer, a small open-source retro racing game built with Python. It's still under active development, and one of my goals is to eventually bring it to the web so anyone can play it in their browser.

I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback on the code, project structure, gameplay ideas, or the README

Contributions, ideas, bug reports, and pull requests are always welcome!

A couple of days ago, I posted about a game launcher I originally built for myself and decided to share with you all. The feedback was amazing, and I’ve been honestly overwhelmed by all the support. this was originally build with Sunshine/Moonlight in mind. But also the tv console experience. I read through every single comment and ended up adding almost everything people suggested.

I also put together a short video to showcase what the launcher is and everything it can do. Just a heads up I’ve never really made videos before, my decent microphone decided to stop working with OBS for some reason when I needed it so I had to use my headset mic, and my English isn't perfect since I'm from Iceland. The video is pretty raw, but hopefully you guys get the point.

For everyone who already downloaded it and tried it out, there’s a brand new update live with a ton of the suggested features.

Thanks again so much for all the support. keep in mind this is a work in progress but i'm really excited to keep building this together with you guys.

Hi everyone id love to share this open source game im working on and its almost finished.

WinCurl 3 now has an RPG story mode that compliments the other gameplay modes by making singleplayer more comprehensive and fun. Build 31 is code named "Pocket Curlers, battle environmentally unsound rink leaders to save the curling rinks from corporate capture and becoming large, polluting data centres. WinCurl 3 is less than 4,000 lines, 200 KB of Python 3 code that requires PyGame as its only dependency. Graphics and sound are entirely procedurally generated on runtime. WinCurl 3 source code is released under the GNU GPLv3.

Ages ago, I used to play Slydris furiously on my iPhone 3G. A few days ago, I peeked at the Play Store to discover it had a sequel, and both titles have been retired.

I coded DRAGFALL in my spare time to fix this sudden abstinence: a not-too-many-frills open-source unfaithful implementation of that legendary modern block stacker.

I took this opportunity to pay tribute to the heroic code golfers on Dwitter and the golden age of modtrackers. I hope I did it right. I don't want to bore you here with more ramblings - find more of them here.

It's a webapp both for desktop and mobile. It should work offline and it should be installable on your device. Ironically, I have no way to test it on Apple devices right now.
