If you want to suggest more genres, you should also give a clear description what those genres mean. Otherwise people are just attaching those genres at will without knowing what they are doing.
yes, it should be combined with "simulation" or "realism simulation"
minecraft would be "survival" "zombie" but not "realism simulation"
Also, we should have "wilderness" tag.
For example C-Dogs SDL linked above is tagged as Open source even though its assets are derived from Freeware assets (with the authorization of the original author AFAIK, but no license).
Same story for Tales of Maj'Eyal which uses nonfree Shockbolt sprites, but is also tagged as Open source. So I believe Witch Blast should get the same honor :)

This list is not really needed. You can get all such games if you just go on “All Games” and set the license filter to “Open Source”.

>All in all, we really need
>All in all, we really need an "Open source with nonfree assets" category for such cases...
why? firstly we post games here, engines aren't games so an open engine without the game data is almost useless.
you can also state in the description that the engine is open source. and if the engine is used more widely you can add them to the engines section.
