Nexuiz.com makeover? Nexuiz going to consoles?

[LordHavoc]

It doesn't look like id offers commercial licenses to id tech 1 anymore, but this should be considered for console nexuiz since Darkplaces is not a clean-room implementation of Quake 1.

Actually Quake and Quake 2 are id Tech 2, Doom is id Tech 1.

The license has already been obtained for this title.

Hey ppl, what gives!?
This is bloody awesome!

Matter of perspective.

Nexuiz, the nexuiz we all love dearly, will get loads of attention!
People will see that there is a PC version and thats its GPL.

Wishful thinking at best. This takes attention from Nexuiz instead of giving it any.

And so forth. Its the TALKING that matters, I mean the whole of south america and india and other FLOSS friendly bigass places and the rest of the world have a large bunch of artists and developers for nexuiz, they don't know it yet. They don't know how great of a feat it would be to have future employers look at their work, point and say, "See those guts in midair? Thats my code/graphics"

I had some trouble decrypting this part. Don't really get what you're trying to say, doesn't make sense to me. Can you please elaborate?

Although there are two things that I might wonder about:
A: Why nexuiz and not nexuiz with something added to it. I should add that I like it the way it is now.

Why call it nexuiz in the first place?

B: I hope they got some moneys for it thats been directed toward developers and other artists.

The least we can hope for.

I think that is a bigger hurdle to get people interested (STILL sadly enough), than that there is a console (good god) game out there with the same name as real nexuiz.

And the console game gets people less interested in the real nexuiz by getting attention.

I'm still unsure as to how much this is a danger to the real project, but what LordHavoc said made me feel better. If there's no danger to the real Nexuiz I guess that is... good enough

Otherwise, I can't understand this. Why in the world can't they find their own name for the new game? Or if they want to still call it Nexuiz, in case it is supposed to be some sort of newer version of the project, why can't they use a slightly different name (like Nexuiz Something)?

I'm sorry I have to say this, but the way this was handled is a direct insult to the whole Nexuiz community, developers and players alike. An insult to those, who let's face it, made his indie developer group and his game so great and awesome.

Some respect wouldn't had hurt anybody.

Perfectly agreed. They could have at least asked us and let us know about this, rather than coming and taking everything like that. To me this feels like hitting someone in the head, stealing their things and running away. If this was done on purpose, the people who did this should be totally and utterly ashamed of theirselves... but heh, who is any more when it comes to such companies?

Yes this is more than fishy. It's HERESY!

I feel like a loyalty to what people have understood alientrap to be has been lost.

As a contributor to Nexuiz and many alientrap projects, I find it a bit disconcerting that our [mostly absent] leader make such a large decision that affects the community without even informing the team that a change is coming. I feel ashamed that I cannot answer questions about our leader's decisions.
