Yesterday the much anticipated 2.4 release of Nexuiz was had. This is a great milestone for the team as it includes many new features such as better graphics, smoother game play, newer and updated maps, better weapon balancing and new game types. The game now boasts over 10 game types both official and unofficial as one of the diggers describes, Nexuiz is like “Quake 3 on crack”.
Well well well, I’ve been quite busy the past few weeks. Balancing school, work, play and of course the internet (which can fall under all three). In my business I have been maintaining websites for my clients, formyself and creating entirely new pages. Today I’d like to announce the release of the new Nexuiz Homepage, redesigned for the soon to be released version, 2.4.
The new version will be released shortly, I’ll be sure to let you all know when. Check the site for screenshots, videos and more details.
Merry Christmas Eve and Happy Holidays to all. I hope you are enjoying time with loved ones and family. On my time off I’ve been doing a little research. I’m trying to learn more about 3d modeling so I can create more than just maps for the great game, Nexuiz. I’ve been dabbling in Blender 3d, which I came across some some awesome video tutorials. You can check out those Awesome Blender 3d Video Tutorials Here. This kid is really good at breaking down the tools and usage of the program.
I’ve also just finished writing a basic tutorial on map making for Nexuiz. I’ll be back post Christmas with some more application how-tos and such. Happy Holidays!
I just moved into a new apartment, started a new job and didn’t have the internet for ~a week. I’ve been working on some other projects and I’ll be sure to start posting about them soon.
In the mean time, if you’re bored and you like quick decision making / fast paced gameplay or just first person shooters in general, you should check out Nexuiz. Nexuiz is free, open source and runs on all platforms (windows, osx, linux).
Here’s two examples of the fast paced action via flag caps:
