I think that they felt they had litle choice but to fork, although some of it was done out of pride. Since apparently most improvements seem to be content-based, it will be also probably easy to re-integrate the fork's improvements back into Nexuiz, since it seems that they will stick to GPL (and that makes me happy). I assumed it was more liberal than Sauerbraten's (one person decides) or OpenArena's (one person decides). I don't know how development regarding 'adding new stuff' was managed at nexuiz. To be honest I am impressed by it! Good-looking portals! New char models! Wowsome! If this new media was created in the last three weeks, then this sounds like an interesting deal to focus the anger at the Nexuiz 'sell-out' (IMHO only the fact that Illfonic will use the name is a reason for rage) into creating new content (and maybe find a solution to the name-issue). This was yesterday or the day before that - there were no screenshots in the gallery yet. Great thread! I thought "Ok, so you want to fork Nexuiz for philosophy reasons and incidentally create lots of content out of thin air? " when reading Xonotic's pages. But why oh why do you declare you'll be doing something that took already took many years, and doing it better? What are you? A commercial company with full time employees? We get it that you think you are capable enough - individually or collectively - to do better. We know you forked because you have ideas, or fundamental unresolvable disagreements on project management and direction. replace all content with better content, have better AI, make over maps, replace all audio, and not have low quality content? * Low quality content will be dropped and replaced with higher quality ones * New names for weapons and gamemodes (especially ones using the “nex” prefix) * A new set of player models and animations We’ll cover these maps more in depth in a later post of WoX-Blox.Xonotic will also pursue a clearer agenda including the following: However Ruined is the only map which made it into the maps for the group stage, because there are not too many great duel maps yet. The Xonotic maps (Atomforge, Azalea & Ruined) have a good quality and nice gameplay. Final Rage, Red and Warfare (wiht slightly item placement improvement) are like in Nexuiz. ![]() Stormkeep looks much better now and Darkzone, Downer_final & Xoylent (Soylent) have been remade for Xonotic. They’re a mix of Nexuiz classics, remakes and new Xonotic maps. Later on in the KO phase every player can choose his favourite map. The mappool consists of 9 maps and 6 of them have to be played in the group stage. Some players want to commentate (live or for YouTube) some interesting matches, so stay tuned! The group matches should be played at least until 16th November 2011. The tournament is already on the run, with no less than 29 registered players and 8 groups! Wow! You can find more information about it on the website at, and groups can be found here. ![]() ![]() For those who browse the forums regularly this is kinda old and late news, but after the success of the LMS Melee only tournament, the clan we all know and love (if you don’t, you should ) ) organised:
