>>8448>Based shit, anon. Is this original content?Somewhat. I've adapted some free (Creative Commons) assets and made the rest. License.txt gives details and links to source models.
Kart model is just Emule's kart untouched meant to be a prototype placeholder.
Alunya is mostly a reskinned pic related with original hair, slight head shape mods and custom rigging. Animation is original.
There is a Blender file in that .zip so you can use her in other games. I can also upload one with the original detailed rigging but I suspect the UVs are broken in a strange way.
It took about a day so it's very rudimentary but she gets the job done. You can download her in-game by sorting addons by date. Currently unapproved, will probably be fine

>SuperTuxKart (STK) is a free and open-source kart racing game, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, version 3. It features mascots of various open-source projects. SuperTuxKart is cross-platform, running on Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android systems.
>SuperTuxKart's gameplay is similar to that of the Mario Kart series, but also has distinct elements, such as collecting and using cans of Nitro. The game features the mascots of several open source projects. For example, Mozilla Thunderbird plays the referee, flagging the start of the race and saving players when they drive off the course. The game supports single player, local multiplayer, WAN multiplayer, and LAN multiplayer modes. Networking modes were introduced in version 1.0. No.8458

>>8459I figured more like this (but with the tank being smaller/lower so she's sitting more openly in the hollowed out top turret)
>If I can't find an existing 3D model, will you care if I use an arbitrary tank that looks close enough?Well it would be neat if it looked like an actual T-34 but hey it's not that big a deal, only my opinion anyways.

I agree that she doesn't fit with the free and open source project mascots theme, but this kart is not for the standard core game. This player is only intended for the community add-ons repository which only about half are mascots or FOSS related. They even have the Hong Kong pig as a featured downloadable kart (featured karts appear at the top).
Speaking of which, Alunya the Cat is now a featured kart!

I guess I don't see the point of FOSS games if they suck. You can already pirate most games so I get no extra benefit out of them being FOSS. TuxKart is just a garbage bin shovelware stank and not even a fun type of jank. Right up there with FilthyFrank Kart and Touhou Kart. There's, I dare proclaim without doing any counting, 100s of kart games. And I question the intelligence of FOSS-folks if they can't understand TuxKart is garbage.

I still have to hear what's good about it or what's the point of playing something mediocre when it's not good. You want to argue semantics on the difference between mediocre and bad, I don't. You want to argue we need to refference to a game by its full name when you can't even use the official spacing. There's no game called "Tux Kart" by your own logic. Both games literally share the same code. And regular Tux isn't even the default you find on search engines. If your strongest defence is an attack on connotation then that's not really an attack at all. You've got no point. You're not clever enough to attack me on tone, you're not clever enough to defend the game. I'll give it to you it's hard to defend kuso.

The best phone reader apps are paid apps. You don't know what a bad FLOSS app is. Feature disparity is one thing. Buggy, unstable mess with barely anything working is another. With good libre software you either realize that those "features" are just bloat you'll never gonna use or you write a feature request. And FLOSS is better not because it's packed with unique features that set it apart but because it's easy (and legal) to mod, has no spyware or DRM, is easier to audit for bugs and security holes and doesn't entrench you in corpos' walled gardens. Piracy is simply not enough to get all of these things, although it is a good painkiller.
>I guess I don't see the point of FOSS games if they suckSome FLOSS games suck. Some don't. But saying that they suck just because they're FLOSS is just not knowing what you're talking about. I've seen enough FLOSS games to judge and am a veteran hardcore gamer. Xonotic, SuperTuxKart, Doom 1-2, Sonic Robo Blast 2 and Xandria are great games with an insane modding potential. But I admit: some games like OpenArena look ugly and dated. Then again, so do some proprietary games, it's a weird comparasent.
