FreeGameDev

I was "taking a walk" on the game category in Snap package store https://snapcraft.io, it was only for fun and spend free time.

And I found this game, TheTravelingFox. I don't know nothing about it...but it seems awesome, it is coded in Panda3D and it is free software (and I think that the assets are free too).

Do you know this game? I haven't time to install it (maybe the next weekend) for saying anything about the gameplay and performance.

It uses the Python version of Panda, which is not surprising considering that was the best practice up until recently. Panda is fortunately the only Python dependency.

I can't find a media license in the repo. Fonts are typically OFL, but the only license listed is BSD, so I speculate that the developer didn't keep track of the media sources and much of it is probably copyfree but perhaps not compatible with DRM. Also it may be a violation of licenses requiring attribution. But the project is pretty good-natured so I don't think anybody will sue.

Here it says CC-BY-SA. Added to LGW suggested games.

That's just about the creepiest thing I've seen in a while

This morning, I am waiting for a train and I have the laptop....I have tryed the game (I have installed it with snap) and it does not run:

Hi! The first line seems related to some issues with the graphics drivers.
