I allredy was wondering about the many posts from there showing up here. (I even had to mute federationbot because it repeated so much posts from there)
I don't mind that switter exists. I think this people need a home too after the big social networks pushed them out. But I'm not interested in this kind of service, so I guess making them silent is a good solution.

Dear free and open source community,
I want you to recommend projects that welcome people that never contributed to FOSS before. I am planning to do a workshop this year to encourage people to make their first contributions. What I need:
- A page explaining how they could contribute.
- General recommendations and documentation.
- Where they can contact people involved in such projects in case they have questions.

The 'free xp'-mod is nice for multiplayer games. Otherwise I have not used much mods yet.

I got a couple of new issues opened by my longetime contributor eugeneloza. The discussions about features and bugs in this issues are always helpful to bring RogueBox Adventures in a better shape.

It is just a awsome game. In my eyes one of the best TBS games ever. I just started to play trough the champains again.

@tinker I think the description as a corporate mindset fits way too well:
The other day I was talking with someone about linux stuff and their opinion was that there should be only one distribution, one desktop, one solution. What they didn't get was that the #FLOSS / #FOSS movement is not a corporation trying to sell you a product but a movement trying to give you the tools to overcome the digital immaturity. (I also welcome discussion on that view.)

The rest of the weekend I will spend playing 'The Battle for Wesnoth'. The new release is just awsome! It feels like they removed all the dust and the spiderwebs of the past years from the game.

I made at least a little bit progress with RogueBox Adventures this weekend. Some items can't be placed everywhere anymore. They need to stand indoor (or outdoor for other objects). I hope thos will force players to use the build functionality a bit more often.

One of the best (foss) games of all times "The Battle for Wesnoth" got a new major release and is now available on steam. I hope this will have a positive impact on the Wesnoth community and raise some awareness for Free Software/Open Source.

This weekend I tested Flare (Empyrean Campain).
What a well written piece of Software!

@gamemakingtools Thanks for the fast answer! 👌

This is why I only use & support Free & Open Source Software in my personal life. This man is going to prison. Prison.
"A California man who built a sizable business out of recycling electronic waste is headed to federal prison for 15 months after a federal appeals court in Miami rejected his claim that the “restore disks” he made to extend the lives of computers had no financial value, instead ruling that he had infringed Microsoft’s products to the tune of $700,000."

@gamemakingtools Is there any way to see which nodes get blocked by gamemaking.social? Some people from GNUsocial (no trolls) tried to follow me on this node but it didn't work for them.

@gamemakingtools oh I forgott to add the link.

I found this very interesting project on github just a few days ago. It's a oldschool RPG engine (with a demo game). I didn't test it out yet. But I will try it as soon as possible.

On forum.fregamedev.net people discuss about the decline of FOSS game development at the moment: https://forum.freegamedev.net/viewtopic.php?f=46&p=76594&sid=88c51860a7570bef8686d2ea70ad7225#p76594
I belive that there is not only a decline of FOSS game development but a decline of amateur game development in genneral.
There seem to be many reasons for that effect. Most of all I think its about the indie boom that brougth tons of cheap games to us and about the internet changed in general since 2000. People are just over saturated today.

Hello together,
I am a sparetime game developer and FOSS enthusiast from germany. I'm here because the GNUsocial node I've used until now will go offline soon.
My favourit game genres are Roguelike, TBS and RPG.
I'm also a friend of retro-gaming (especially the 8 and 16 bit era).
On Mastodon I want mainly post about FOSS gaming and the development of my own project RogueBox Adventures.
I hope to meet some interesting people here.
