Xonotic is free (GPL), fast-paced first-person shooter that works on Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Xonotic is a direct successor of the Nexuiz Project.
Xonotic will place focus on the things we love about Nexuiz, and extend our goals to become the game that many thought Nexuiz should have been.
While technically being a direct successor of Nexuiz, the Xonotic project is a rethink of the Nexuiz project that recognizes the community around it as its principal driving force and will restructure itself to respect that. This means that there will never be a single person with total control over the project. In addition to the stronger focus on the community, Xonotic will also pursue a clearer agenda including the following:
Game Changes:
A new set of player models and animations
A new set of sounds
New music
Default maps will get a makeover
New stronger bot AI
New names for weapons and gamemodes (especially ones using the "nex" prefix)
Low quality content will be dropped and replaced with higher quality ones
Project Changes:
Use of GIT versioning system instead of SVN
Better attention to marketing and public relations
A more defined artistic direction
More emphasis on recruiting
Better organization of contributors
More focus on community activities (tournaments, contests, etc)
More frequent releases
Global player stats tracking system, supporting anonymous player as well
