A new project currently in development by the team responsible for the widely popular Nexuiz has been revealed today. Xonotic will be a free (GPL), fast-paced First-Person Shooter (FPS) for Microsoft Windows, Mac OSX and Linux. Xonotic is a direct successor of the Nexuiz Project, which is currently being converted to console formats by newly formed publishers Illfonic.
Nexuiz launched as a PC and console game 10 years ago, but the downfall of THQ lead to problems for the inspirational title.
Remember Nexuiz, the arena first-person shooter pulled from Steam three years ago after publisher THQ went bust? It's back.
Developer IllFonic has self-published the game on Steam, where it costs £7.99 (it's £3.99 until 22nd March).
Didn't get around to playing it until after the community died. Great to see it back.
Aaron from Leviathyn held another successful LAN party last weekend, and he wants to help you make yours as awesome as possible while saving you some time and aggravation.
Biggest tip I have for a LAN party is get everyone to agree on a core bunch of games you all play and some alternatives to keep it fresh BUT make sure everyone is patched up before they arrive. I've spent a few LAN parties helping those who turn up unprepared who fire up their systems with games requiring large patches (we often just set up a shared drive with all the latest patches and add-ones available) or have large Windows updates they have ignored for months that require restarting and then restarting again and again etc or they just don't have the games installed at all! It wasted their time and those at the LAN who then help them out. One guy turned up once with a completely broken OS which resulted in a format.
