#OpenArena
The OpenArena site is down right now (probably due to increasingly aggressive llm harvesting) so in the meantime I've put up a static site elsewhere with the essentials.

people who build free, open source games are unsung heroes, too often there's little glory or recognition but somewhere some kid is enjoying the heck out of pingus or openarena as part of their after school relaxation time, and that matters a lot

OpenArena also exists but hasn't updated since 2008. I hear rumours that its development isn't *totally* dead, we may very well see an update someday, but even as it is, it's still serviceable as a bargain bin Quake 3.
The Official OpenArena Web Site
OpenArena is an open source violent first person shooter.

Isso quer dizer que llms deixarão de existir depois do estouro? Não. Mas duvido que openAI e Anthropic sobrevivam. E sobrar exatamente esse modelos especializados. Um ex é o Reuters OpenArena, um llm específico para jornalismo baseado em todo o conteúdo da própria Reuters.

The latest release of OpenTESArena is here. This open source reimplementation of the first Elder Scrolls game is making extremely rapid progress, with the latest highlight video being really spectacular. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyTf...

OpenArena reminds me of Quake 3 Arena.

Listing every idTech-based game is also a hopeless endeavour. "Libre" versions of iD games such as FreeDoom, LibreQuake, and OpenArena give people the experience if not the art assets of playing Doom, Quake, or Quake 3. As mentioned before, *zdoom probably carries over half the retro fps catalogue.

i don't self-promote much but

i got pressured to show 2 wip shot of OA3 on the discord, so i feel compelled to also share them here because 'dead' rumors again,and I must quell assumptions of pbrNextGen and q3TradeDressiness

also the character is an @androidarts.bsky.social concept (follow them)

also a lot of my impressions come from running these on them:
- OpenArena (0.8 using the oa git engine, not downstream)
- Dhewm3
- box86'd 3dmark2001 / MDK2
- DOSbox (one with an arm dynarec, also not downstream)

been curiously looking at debian popcons lately. here's the line chart of free mcshooty.

bzflag surprisingly endures. freedoom dethrones oa (which to be fair, is still the 2012 release I still gotta do something about).

wish debian had more tbh!!!
