Great news for HTML5 game developers: a few days ago Superpowers was released under the ISC license.
What is Superpowers? A game development platform (an integrated editor but you can collaborate in realtime online; how cool is that! :D ) for making HTML5 games using TypeScript (a superset of Javascript). But you will also be able to work with other languages, so far support for the well known LÖVE2D is available.
Learn more in this video:
The source is available here and there is also an repository with a few sample games. If you like what they are doing, please consider becoming a supporter.
Looking forward to your new HTML5 games!

The Sky of Verdun 3D - dogfight in HTML5
Came across this seemingly fun little game over here, too bad I don't have a Occulus Rift (yet):
Check their page for the Win32 and browser server/client download.

Data Dealer, an interesting project to fund!
The the last Kickstarter game project we featured was sadly not successful and with only 11 days to go it doesn't look too good for Data Dealer either. But this HTML5 and CC-by-SA licensed game project comes with a pretty cool idea and is quite playable already.
It centers around the idea that services like Facebook & Google really arn't in the business of bringing you a good service (aka "If you are not paying for it, you're not the customer; you're the product being sold") and makes a ironic game out of that.
Here is game-play trailer to give you an better idea:
Or try the current demo on their webpage.
Now of course as we have all recently learned (or at least got confirmation about), the reality is even more twisted than just the private business side of things. But over the revelations of the mass surveillance by the NSA & Co., we should still not forget that all those big internet companies arn't victims by far either.
P.S.: My best wishes go out to Mr. Snowden! You are a hero of our generation.

Cube2 engine keeps on expanding!
While the recent new release of Cube2: Sauerbraten didn't bring any really big changes, the network of friendly forks keeps expanding. But before I go into more details, here is a new feature trailer of Cube2: Sauerbraten:
The maybe most prominent and fully FOSS fork RedEclipse is still working on the promised new 1.4 release, with them doing some silly and some cool enhancement projects in the meantime... so yeah:
Octaforge still has a few day to go in order to avoid missing their estimated release "this month", but when browsing OpenGameArt.org, I came across an interesting fork of the Sandbox Game Maker fork, called Lamiae with the RPG game Kelgar:
Kelgar Gameplay 0.8 - Indie DB
According to their github page, content seems to be libre (CC-by or CC-by-SA) but information is a bit scarce. Even less information is available for this other fork, called SabiCube, but you can download and test their alpha.
Oh and a bit older, but also interesting: the emscripten powered HTML5 port of Cube2, called Banana Bread, has also really picked up since the main emscripten developer was hired by the Mozilla foundation. Here you can see it running a multi-player game (very recent new feature), and with the upcoming (also Mozilla powered) asm.js Javascript speed-up, it will probably run at near native speeds in the not too far future.
Ok... I hope that is all... if you know of other interesting Cube2 powered projects, please comment below!
