Hi,
Thanks for all your work maintaining debian-games.
It's been a few years since we've added anything new to games-finest, and I
think endless-sky would be a great choice. It's pretty polished, and runs
great in Debian even on basic GPUs. It has shown up on several
best-of-open-source lists, eg:
* https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/open-source-video-games/
* https://www.slant.co/topics/1933/~best-open-source-games
* https://medium.com/swlh/free-open-source-linux-games-that-are-actually-good-6cb97177c6e6
There aren't many other games in debian main like it: I guess just naev and
oolite (oldstable), and none of those are in games-finest. Also, the popcon
numbers for endless-sky are already ahead of several other simulation games
in games-finest:
253 bsdgames
116 openttd
77 unknown-horizons
67 flightgear
47 pinball-data
43 foobillardplus
40 lincity-ng
40 micropolis
--> 38 endless-sky
36 bzflag-client
14 cultivation
14 searchandrescue
I hope I've made a good case! Thanks again.
