Not clear how you submit new listings to this site. I'd like to get my little RTS https://github.com/simonw/battledrones on there - I released it yesterday (Apache 2.0 license) and it's already attracted a fork that translates it to French and redoes the graphics to be 1900s Belle Époque steampunk: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Oct/21/panache/

Aren’t these just low-effort vibe coded slop games? I don’t see the point of any of this.

It feels like an alternate reality where all games are Claude-generated.

A lot of these collections doesn't make a difference between a game engine and the actual playable game. OpenTTD is an open source game, you can download it and play it as is right now, everything is included. OpenMW is an open source engine but not an open source game per se, you need to purchase Morrowind on Steam or GOG to actually play the game itself.

A good source of open source (non-AI at least for now) games is wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open-source_video_game...

Thanks everyone, I'm listening to all feedback and will take into account. Working on making it clear how to submit new games for now.
