As the article mentions Google ended up funding a number of Gaming projects. There are a total of 7 game projects and 5 game related projects for a total of over 40 slots.
The following game projects have been accepted,
- Battle for Wesnoth (projects), a very cool turn based strategy game in the theme of Heroes of Might and Magic.
- BZFlag (projects), the classic tank first person shooter game. One of the oldest open source games around!
- Linden Lab (projects), the makers of Second Life the largest "almost game like" online universe.
- ScummVM (projects), an engine which lets you play all the classic Lucas Arts games and many more!
- Thousand Parsec (projects), a framework for building 4x empire building games. Been around since 2001 and growing quickly.
- Tux4Kids (projects), a group of multi-platform open source educational games for children.
- WorldForge (projects), one of the original open source MMORPG which has even been mentioned on Slashdot multiple times (original called Altima).
My own project Thousand Parsec got 8 slots for a number of critical features. One of the coolest is a 3d client, which should make the games much more interesting to look at.
We will also finally have a few more interesting games to actually play, including a clone of Risk in Space and a very interesting game called DroneSec. Finally, we should have some opponents for you to play against as 2 AI clients being developed for our premier RFTS ruleset.
