I was kind of intending this thread to be a storehouse of replies for
<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.
For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.
Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

I'm currently working on not to say a game but rather a practice in blender to recreate GTA Vs map but with more detail with things cities typically have like industrial and sanitational sites, detailed factories with interiors shops and more. This project however is taking me alot of time as modeling and texturing all the assets takes forever and if I put detail into any of said models my dogshit computer begins to start lagging as it cant handle high polygon counts. Is there a way to use pop in within blender to evade this along with easier ways to build models faster

>>12403This rebuild is really neat conceptually, and I gotta hand it to the modders that got it into a playable state, but it's not really much more than a curiosity at this point. Gameplay wise it's just abysmal.

if you're into strategy games, check out 0ad, completely free open source rts similar to age of empires, also puts some extra efforts into trying to portray more accurate history.
https://play0ad.com/There's also open red alert, another open source project which you can somehow download with a lot of the original art without the people getting copyright issues, idk how they do it but I don't give a shit. it's also changed up the gameplay quite a bit to make the game better for competitive(the changes are definitely good thing, to the point where you might aswell just avoid paying for that crappy remake).

>>18218To add to this, Unciv is a nearly perfect carbon copy of Civ V. Prefer this to Freeciv because it looks way more presentable and intuitive to play which is how I got my friends to play
Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a completely free and open-source zombie survival sim/roguelike, and legitimately one of the most in-depth games I've ever seen. I've been playing it for a long while and I still have yet to completely wrap my head around it, it's so good
In general, if you look around the open-source gaming scene you will find plenty of things to debunk the muh profit motive argument, if skyrim booba mods didn't do that already

Is there a site to see all the old games multiplayer/fan servers?
I love the idea of a people keeping alive something despite the devs dropping support

I am currently impressed with Roleplayer's Expanded Dialogue (RED), which uses ElevenLabs voice AI to generate audio dialogue from existing voice actor recording. Apparently the modders are trying to fix Fallout 4 and make it a legit RPG.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/69389Possible to do all kind of good stuff too, I couldn't find a good video for RED but see vidrel for NCR Preston.

>>27013Interesting, the voice inflections are a bit imperfect sometimes but I probably wouldn't have figured out that was an AI if it was the first time I played it. Nice idea.

>>11168In practice, the great motivator to do something without a profit motive is agrarian-like self-subsistence. Say, if you need something and there's no alternative you'll be like: "Ah, fuck this, I'MMA DO IT MYSELF!!" That's why there's so much mods and libre software tools yet so little libre games that aren't clones and reimplementations of other games. Because while you may need some changes to be made to something already existing here and there you won't really feel the need to create something new. That's why there should be some community motivation of some sort. Not necessarily a market but something like game jams or stuff like that. No idea how that would work under communism though.
