Ive been playing zero-k recently, and wondering what other great open source video games are out there?

        inability to freely save and load in a game

        Oof. That’s a really major downside. Bummer.

        Edit: just downloaded to see for myself. You seem to be able to save and load, at least in singleplayer on pc.

          I suspect I didn’t explain myself well.
          If I remember correctly, you can enter and exit the campaign, and doing so saves the game. There is also a single autosave, which you can’t manually select and is there for better or worse.

          So in practice, one mistake or ruthless surprise can turn into a lot of wasted time. For the sake of my alopecia, I used to make regular backups to the whole folder, convenient enough using btrfs.

        Been using the android version, hadn’t updated in a while, excited to see they added another world and a lot more content it seems!
