But I also don't see any actual playable (!) release yet. :-(
If there's not serious visible update / playable release within the next month, I suggest to disable or remove this entry and wait until (at the very least) an alpha version is out.
I also think the seperation of art and source code does not make sense (as if the art would be an unimportant, disposable component) for many games when there is a strong coupling between both. If you remove the art from a game, it no longer works, so it is an essential part of the game (and, in extension, the software itself since it has a hard dependency on the art files).
If you just look at the code, then you are not talking about the complete game anymore.
So, to recap:
To make a video game, you need code AND art AND related files (e.g. levels, data files, etc.). Removing anything of this will likely result in something that is no longer a playable game.
If code and art and related files are free-as-in-freedom, then the game is obviously free software.
If code is free but art isn't, I'd argue the game is not free software because an essential part of it is not free. It would be honest to call just the code “free” and consider an entry in the “Engines” section of the LGDB (if the code is actually useful as an engine, of course).

Hello! Thanks for your comment.
Unity, the game engine used for this game, has OpenGL Core and OpenGL2 compatibility. When you open the game it should detect which one fits for you.
Since it seems it is not working for you, I'll check it out!

But you need to login somewhere to see it; I haven't tried it myselves yet.
