The Current State of Nexuiz, Welcome Xonotic [part 2]

[-z-]

The current mood in the community is somber, feelings have mixed about the future of the Nexuiz community.

There is an official news post on the matter at [url]http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/news[/url]

Details have been unfolding as [url=http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=6043]information about the IllFonic Nexuiz game is learned[/url], [url=http://alientrap.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6050]tensions are high[/url] while leadership fails to subside the community in this time of doubt.

Underneath it all however, a fire burns. It's a burning love for the core culture we've built our community around. From this fire, rises a new game set to preserve the values in which we hold sacred to our GPL game. [url=http://xonotic.org]Xonotic[/url] is a GPL fork of Nexuiz 2.5.2svn. This new game and community was brought to life by core contributors of Nexuiz who realized there was no future in the relationship with project owner, Lee Vermeulen, who chose to capitalize on other people's work and failed to provide restitution.

To avoid being repetitive, I ask you refer to the [url=http://xonotic.org/faq]Xonoitc FAQ[/url] for details about this fork.

As for the future of the Nexuiz Ninjaz, this site and services will stay online until we're ready to migrate over towards xonotic, which we've designed the core community to encompass many of the services we currently offer as unofficial tools for Nexuiz.

I'm really excited about Xonotic.
