The March Announcement is about

I hope straleman says no too. I really do.

[Samual]

So anyway, apparently I was wrong, it does use the QC game code... not very happy about that.

[cortez]

Whatever this is, I really hope it's worth it...

It's very cool imo.
But I still think the image should be linking to the real Nexuiz site. This is hurting the downloads a bit.

you said this in another thread. how many people will click on a small button on the bottom of a page? and what will be is there is more content ? how many people will even notice this?

they basicly make a new game so why dont they use a different name?

and why does no one even care about the community? the guys who hang out here for years and spending thier free time to create new content for this game. Just to see that a musican who tries to support indie develpopers ruins it and the whole community

The name "Nexuiz" isn't protected/trademarked/licensed in the US or EU yet.

So some community member with too much money, please go and grab it now! And then strike at these heretics!

[MirceaKitsune]

Well, at LEAST they have a button that leads to this project. On the bottom bar, it says PC Nexuiz GPL. Of course, that doesn't make anything much better...

Especially when you look at the size of that thing!

It looks awesome but at the same time I think just about EVERYBODY that has seriously contributed to and shaped this game has just been robbed. They couldn't even give it a different name. Also what engine is this using?

Nexuiz is under the GPL. That's just as good as being copyrighted.

EDIT:
"Nexuiz uses the latest version of the Dark Places engine ported for the next generation of gaming consoles."

Unless you want to violate the GPL and risk being sued by anybody that had anything to do with the development of Quake, Dark Places, or Nexuiz, we better start seeing some content on the PC side. Also if the all of that stuff still became available and the PC version got all of that, I think it would still be best to set the console Nexuiz in a different time period due to the different art styles used.

Screenie uploaded to Nexuiz Ninjaz, saved to hard drive, and burned to discs. Web page saved too.



I think I spotted Skyway, Running Man, Blue Sky (it was either this or Ruiner, but I know for a fact it was one of the two), and Starship in those screenshots on the site.

wait....wait....WAIT! the futur of the nexuiz will be not free?

Well on consoles it's kind of impossible because Sony and M$ take a cut. The part that bothers me and everybody else is the GPL related stuff not being made available. Under the PC Nexuiz's license EVERYTHING is required to be freely available with any modifications made also being freely available. If they can some how release a console version and have all of that content available in GPL form on PC, I don't see a problem, but given how console makers role, I know that's impossible. A console Nexuiz would be pretty cool if they can do it without violating the GPL.

Copyright holders can relicence their work however they want, whether it's GPL or not (but they can't enforce the new license retroactively). Supposedly all contributors were contacted and only those who agreed to relicence will have their stuff used in the console game. I do wonder how that actually happened, seeing as tZork didn't know anything about it.
