Hi Kamil,
personally I'd prefer containing the games on Flatpak to be more flexible and it can
be provided for a hugh user base.
I hope the games I've suggested now are mostly clones. Thus they might be included
for Fedora. The Dark Mod sounds an interesting game! I've made a notice for your
wish:)
Cheers
Andi

Hi guys,
my name is Andi, 29 and I'm from Germany. I'm using Fedora almost 2 years (Fedora
26). My programming skills are on Python, Java/Java Script, and C/C++. But acutally I
prefer mostly Python hacking. I studied B.A. of Arts History, Archaeology and
Cath.Theology. Besides this, I can speak a lot of languages: German, English, French, a
bit Italian and Spanish.
It would be glad starting contributing on Fedora as a maintainer. Therefore I hope to work
on a small project soon.
I'm interested in games packaging, but I don't know where to start.
Hi Andi,
only opensource software can be part of Fedora, and there are not that many opensource
games out there (which are not already packaged for Fedora), so it might be a bit
difficult to find something suitable and interesting (but some of the OS clones might be a
good idea). Additionally regarding games packaging, you can consider making flatpaks
instead of RPMs and submitting them to Flathub [1]. Flathub can not only contain
opensource games, but also freeware and free-to-play games (let's talk about
Linux-native games at the moment, incorporating Wine into them would be another level of
difficulty). For example, I'd personally love to see The Dark Mod [2] available at
Flathub.
In Fedora you can also participate on packaging and maintaining game-related software,
like emulators and launchers. Wine, Lutris and PLayOnLinux are the most visible ones, but
then there are also lots of retro emulators, many of them not even in Fedora yet, I'd
guess. So it depends on your experience and interests (both gaming and packaging). You
could even participate in e.g. Lutris community in creating and maintaining scripts to
allow easy installation of Windows and other platforms' games on Linux.
The Gaming SIG [3] might provide a better advice, this is just what I know.
