I’m getting back to a project I started in 2024 but got to pause it (couldn’t find anyone to help me). It’s called SuperTux Smasher (formerly SuperTuxBattleMelee), a platform fighter featuring Tux and other mascots in the open source community

So far, we are three people working on it (the other two just joined very recently) and they even get to do a logo for the game. There’s also a sample design of the main screen, and we’re working on the menu and a stage

We’re also looking for other potential people interested. Just note that it’s likely going to be a pixel art game, so if you know how to use Aseprite or Libresprite, that would be awesome. Otherwise, you can go as composer or programmer. You’ll just need to know how to use C++ and Squirrel (it’s like Lua, but with a true object-oriented paradigm), the latter will be used for modding support

If you’re interested, the source code is here on Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/SuperTuxSmasher/sts-game

    Not much but I added it to AlternativeTo (needs to be approved by an admin)

      I’ve been thinking, it’d be great if we had an AlternativeTo alternative, but open source and community-maintained 🤔 Right now any contributions we make are owned by that single company, with no way to e.g. make a fork if something goes wrong :(

      Does anyone know if something like that exists?

      (I know about awesome- lists but their use case is a little different, plus they’re scattered across many different repositories)
