Lugaru HD , aka OSS Lugaru, is now fully freely licensed. November 30th, 2016, the license was changed to state that all Wolfire assets are CC-BY-SA 3.0 licensed. Two weeks later, version 1.1 was released. My favorite change: modern screen resolutions (e.g. 1080p) are now supported! 1.1 Highlights - Multiple campaigns support, making it easier to install and play mods! - These Lugaru mods are included by default as alternative to the Turner official campaign: -- Temple, by Silb -- Empire, by Jendraz -- The Seven Tasks, by Philtron R. (albeit with some engine-related issues) - All assets (animations, textures, models, maps, sounds, etc.) of Lugaru HD by Wolfire are under a free and open source license (CC-BY-SA 3.0)! - Window and input management ported from SDL 1.2 to SDL 2.0, improving the support for modern screen resolutions and fullscreen mode, as well as better input handling. The bunny melee fighting game is hard to learn but once you figure out the controls, you can sear t...

Remember when we talked about Lugaru getting ripped ? I just got reply (twice) from Wolfire that the licensing information described in this file is correct. [ first ticket ( img ) | second ticket ( img )]. Probably the permission was given in private conversation or in the hidden Wolfire forum . I'm so glad they did license hard-to-recreate data as open content! Hopefully some completely free/open source project will come out of this. (There are many more steps/files to go though.)

Lugaru is a proprietary game. The Lugaru source code was released under GPL . The Lugaru game data was released under a "freely redistributed for non commercial purposes" license .  Here's an explanation  by Wolfire but it's basically just like Quake, only that the Quake game data was never released for free and never with the engine code and that they used a zip file, not a repository. Recently, scammers sold the game Lugaru on Apple's App Store. They had this to say: "we have every legal right to market and sell the software" "the license we were granted allows for non-exclusive redistribution of the source code or the compiled product, modified or unmodified, for a fee or free of charge." Wolfire wrote a blog post when they found out about this and another one when the cloned product was finally taken down. The implication, according to Wolfire: "While released source code in no way makes it legal to sell someone else's game, it i...

Penumbra 1's engine now FOSS The engine of the best proprietary horror game in existence (Penumbra Overture) has been released under GPLv3 , and some parts under even more liberal licenses. The engine features a physics interaction system, which is extremely well-balanced between complexity of possible interactions and intuitive usability. A few test maps and some objects and textures were released under By-Sa-3 (in comparison: Lugaru comes with no freely-licensed assets). The textures that come with Penumbra There is a guide available on how to compile Penumbra and you can get some help on #penumbra or on the official forums . The biggest task is to get rid of the legacy Newton Dynamics dependency and replace it with Bullet . This 'procedure' has been applied to DungeonHack a year ago or so. About Lugaru: there is a thread that contains some thoughts on adding free (faif free hopefully) content to it.

Lugaru was open sourced (the code, not the assets). Aquaria, Gish and Penumbra Overture are to follow in a time frame of three days. Here 's the counter (top right). Lugaru is a 3d martial arts fighting game that mainly plays in open-air levels in it's proprietary version. Besides kicking and jumping, sneaking and weapon use are main features of the game. A fork allowed me to compile Lugaru on 64bit Linux with ease . Hopefully tutorials for creating completely original content will appear soon, so there can be some fully faif fun foon (soon) with fully free content, for example with a gnu fighter from Ryzom.
