A list of open-source AGS games

[Crimson Wizard]

There's a wiki page, but it's rarely updated, also not sure if people will guess to look in there first:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/wiki/Open_Source_Games

IMPORTANT: Many of these games use older versions of AGS. The latest AGS v3.* versions have full backwards compatibility support, can import and compile older projects, but this often it requires changing "compatibility" options in General Settings. These are described in this section of the manual:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/GeneralSettings.html#backwards-compatibility
In addition, there's a serie of articles addressing an upgrade of an older game to a newer version of AGS:
https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/UpgradingFromPreviousVersion.html
If you know which version the game was made in, you may try to sequentially upgrade it (although that might take much more effort than switching a compatibility option).

IMPORTANT: Remember to do "Build" -> "Rebuild all files" after the opening a project: that will recompile and resave all the rooms in the new format.
(Of course you also might have to fix scripts in rooms during this)

Also for the record:

Spoiler

Here are some previous threads on this topic where people were trying to get a list of open sourced games:

Nice. I notice Space Pool Alpha is missing from that list.

That's my contribution And no reason there shouldn't be one.

[Snarky]

Oddly not mentioned in any of those threads, pretty much all the Oceanspirit Dennis games are open source.

Edit: Here, have a link! http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=43979.0

[Billbis]

Great idea !
I just added my game on the wiki. Maybe we should also keep it updated?
Somebody could do a section of up-to-date and well coded open-source projects, to avoid having only a unsupervised list of hundreds of open source games.

[Crimson Wizard]

All the existing links are broken BTW, refering to adventuregamestudio.co.uk

Here's another entry for the OSS list:

The Swarm Project's Byte of the Draculator was also opened sourced: the link is in this post.

[Adeel]

The (in)famous Eternally Us is open source.

[Crimson Wizard]

The Art of Dying platformer game by dkh (scroll down for source link).

AGS IRC Ceremony (with network support)

[Crimson Wizard]

Sorry for bumping, but someone asked about this on Discord lately, and I decided to post little more.

"AGS Awards" repository: https://bitbucket.org/agsa/ags-awards-source/src/master/

My two games, but have to warn that they are not "conventional".
"Last & Furious" (topdown racing): https://github.com/ivan-mogilko/ags-lastfurious
"Cameras Tech Demo" (technical demo, work in progress): https://github.com/ivan-mogilko/ags-camdemo

Games by eri0o I remember about:
"Dungeon Hands" (card game): https://github.com/ericoporto/DungeonHands
"Hell Puppy" (arcade): https://github.com/VacaRoxa/dogfromhell

Byte of the Draculator II
http://www.vanwijst.com/games/swarm/draculator_source.zip
(if clicking on the link does not work, do right-click and save as)

Ancient demo game which was distributed with AGS in the past:
https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags-demo-quest
(not a very suitable game in my opinion)

[Crimson Wizard]

I bump this again with a suggestion to make this topic sticky, or create another sticky topic with an updated list of open source games (not certain about the appropriate forum section for this).

EDIT: updated a game list in the first post.

[Gilbert]

This topic now lives in the Advanced Tech forum and is stickied.
