Hi Petter,

there are a lot of KDE games without screenshots. It seems that this
page also lists transitional packages like foobillard which are no
longer present in Stretch and were replaced by another game like
foobillardplus. You will also find engines and -data packages without
screenshots (like darkplaces) but there is a corresponding screenshot
for the game (Nexuiz) already.

However I agree that there could be more screenshots especially for the
KDE games and I doubt that
https://blends.debian.org/games/debtags-screenshots.html lists all
available games in Debian. You will get a better overview if you visit
https://blends.debian.org/games/tasks/finest and the related
debian-games blend pages.

Years ago we had screenshot parties but this was even before I joined
the team in 2012. For a long time now there has been a do-it-yourself
attitude around here, in the best case people care for their own
packages but are rarely interested in doing anymore than that. You could
organize such a party by starting a thread on debian-games-devel and/or
ask the publicity team to promote such an event and perhaps a few people
might turn up.

Markus
