Pretty straightforward: what tips and advice would you give me if I were to start an open source project of a game? Where to share my intention of beginning this project, where to find contributors, how to organize the workflow etc.
I mean first, I’d probably ask you to check out what exists.
RTS: Beyond All Reason
Roleplaying: Space Station 14 (Space Station 13 “sequel” decouples from Beyond Launcher and apparently easier to contribute and extend)
Roguelike: Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup
FPS: Unvanquished (I have never played or seen this one)
Theres much more here:
List of Open Source Games
It may feel good to join something already moving than trying to get people to start over on something new.

Mindustry and Veloren are also pretty big and fun games!
Oh shit, I always forget Mindustry is open source!
