On March 1, 2010, it was revealed a company known as Illfonic purchased the rights to the name Nexuiz, and a proprietary license to the source-code, the details of any potential legal conflicts are not yet known. From mid-November 2008, a number of people expressed interest in continuing development of Nexuiz. Responses to this call highlighted the need for better documentation of QuakeC and the Nexuiz code, while also acknowledging the difficulty that documentation of this placed on the small team of Nexuiz developers. In October 2008, a call was made for more developers for Nexuiz by the main (and only) QuakeC developer, who identified organizational issues associated with a many user, one developer model. This includes all new GUI graphics elements, as well as reflective water and improved particles. On February 29, 2008, nearly three years after the initial release, version 2.4 was released and brought major improvements to both the GUI and the graphics engine. Development continued after the initial release, with 1.1 released soon after, 1.5 released February 14, 2006, 2.0 released Jand 2.1 September 9, 2006. After four years of development with no budget, Nexuiz 1.0 was released on May 31, 2005, completely under the GNU GPL, and by the end of June had over a quarter million downloads. The original design called for a simple deathmatch project with a few levels and one character model to be released the next summer. Soon afterward the project moved to the DarkPlaces Quake engine created by Forest Hale, who later also joined the project. Nexuiz development started as a Quake modification in the summer of 2001 by Lee Vermeulen.
#NEXUIZ SINGLE PLAYER GAMEPLAY MODS#
Currently there are a few custom mods and maps used. Nexuiz supports most Quake modifications (although with varying functionality). It can also support new gametypes, or whole conversions quickly applied to it (much like Quake).
#NEXUIZ SINGLE PLAYER GAMEPLAY FULL#
Nexuiz is primarily multiplayer (though it includes a full single-player campaign, which allows one to play through the various multiplayer game types and maps with bots), and allows for hosting and joining of games. All these effects can be turned off to make the game run on older hardware. The graphics in Nexuiz use coronas, the bloom shader effect, Realtime World and Dynamic Lighting and shadowing, shaders (with OpenGL 2.0), offset mapping, and High dynamic range rendering. It includes thirteen weapons, 24 official maps and over 240 community created maps, as well as 15 player models. Nexuiz is an FPS game, heavily inspired by the original Quake games, even running on a modified Quake engine known as DarkPlaces engine.
