After many years of development, Nexuiz has been released to the
public! Nexuiz is a fast-paced, chaotic, and intense multiplayer first
person shooter, focused on providing basic, old style deathmatch. The
1.0 release weighs in at 161MB, and includes 17 maps, 28 playable
characters, and 10 music tracks. It is cross-platform, and supports
Windows and Linux (x86 and x86_64), with Mac support coming soon
(patch to be released in the next few days).

All of Nexuiz is licensed under the GPL, including the core engine,
the textures, maps, sounds, and models. It is extremely modder
friendly. Because of its GPL license status, it can be included in any
Linux distros or packages and is entirely free.

Nexuiz is built on the power of the Darkplaces engine, which is a
heavily modified version of the original Quake. Darkplaces features
realtime lighting and stencil shadows, bumpmapping, gloss, bloom, and
totally rewritten network code that supports up to 64 players on a
single server. While quality gameplay was our primary goal, it's
graphics technology and artwork allows the game to compete with the
current quality of commercial games.

Any online deathmatch fan will instantly feel at home with Nexuiz'
weapons and movement style. The fast server browser and quick loading
time allows you to jump right into a game at a moments notice and play
a quick game.
