I’m trying to find every public domain homebrew VB release. Could an expert please scan this list over and see if I’ve missed anything? I’ve been scouring planetvb and the forums for a week but I feel like I’m still probably missing a lot.

Also, please let me know of any author attributions that I’ve gotten wrong or missed.

Compare your list with what you see here, and it should cover just about everything:

http://www.planetvb.com/modules/games/?ht

I have a feeling all those are probably not “public domain”.

Yeah, you’re correct that “freely distributed” or just “not-for-sale” would be a better fit since they are all still owned by their creators, unlike public domain which applies more to copyright expiration. I should have just called them “free”. I can’t edit the post though it seems.

Thanks, Ben, for that link. I had seen planetvb’s homebrew page, but I didn’t realize there were more titles listed under the different tabs. That seems to be every single VB homebrew in existence.

Perhaps “released” would be the best word, rather than “public domain.”

In any case, I created a list of “released” homebrew works that were not on your original list, as taken from the link I provided:
