Update on development

[Vermeulen]

Tuesday May 9th, 2006 - Vermeulen

Since I haven't updated the news in a while I thought I'd give an update on Nexuiz development and the other projects. Right now the plan is to release Nexuiz 1.6 on May 31st, the one year anniversary of the 1.0 release. New features will include all new particle effects, new maps, some bugfixes, and some weapon changes. The most important new feature though will be the complete bumpmapping and gloss added to all the maps. Rather than realtime lights before (which was extremely slow) the bumpmapping has been precompiled, so its only a minor performance hit, and bumpmap/gloss textures have been made for almost all of the Nexuiz textures and models.

Zymotic, the next game in development by Alientrap, is going good. The team is still looking for level designers and 3d artists, if interested see Helpwanted. Its still early in development and a website is being worked on.

Good, it'll be out after my exams so I should be less likely to fail!

Keep up the good work everyone.

I hope there are really a lot of new maps in 1.6 .
I like different killing environments !

[Vermeulen]

3 new maps, maybe 4

more maps please

I think while there is no autodownload of maps, new maps are very important!

What about a countdown on the homepage for release of 1.6?
