Nexuiz - Ego Shooter for Linux

After many years of development, it's done. An ego-shooter based on a modified Quake engine which they call Dark Places.

The source is completely open to anybody, and the game is licensed under the GPL License. A Mac version is coming soon.

Enjoy.

Some of the screenies remind me of Quake 3. Did you use that engine??? I believe that engine was open sourced no?

I didn't do it. I read about this game on a news site today... Yes, it's based on the Quake III engine, and that one is open source. So is the game.

Oh, ego shooter like first-person-perspective. I was imagining something freudian, where you go about shooting egos...
