Does OpenTTD have fully open source content by now?
Yep, it has replacements for the graphics and audio assets. Just "apt install openttd" :)

Xonotic[1] is excellent (Named Nexuiz in the past, but that name was essentially stolen). Hours of Quake like fun with beefed up graphics and a bunch of interesting gameplay twists. One the mobile side there is Shattered Pixel Dungeon[2], also to be found on F-Droid. The polish behind that project is insane for something FOSS and the hours I put into it are something to be embarrassed about. [1] https://xonotic.org/…
Warsow - quake3 cpma clone. So good.
Battle for Wesnoth! As an aside, does anyone have any sort of insight into how these open source games come about? Is it the force of one individual mostly or is there a place to find likeminded gamedevs for a project?
There is also Game jams; events where you have to make a game alone or as a team in a limited time. A few successful commercial games come from these jams. The biggest jams organize meetup places all around the world, usually at colleges or cybercafés. (i don't know how it is now with the covid thing).
Itch.io maintains a calendar with all jams: https://itch.io/jams

I just completed my 1000th game in SPD, only 70 runs ended with the amulet. I am not ashamed.
