Approximately seven months later the source code was published via Git. Since this turn of events was unexpected by the community and most Nexuiz developers, they promised to create a fork controlled by a community in an open manner. The original creator, Lee Vermeulen, secretly made a deal with a company known as Illfonic according to which the latter got the hold over the Nexuiz trademark. In March 2010, a controversy arose over the original Nexuiz being licensed to Illfonic game studios in order to create a commercial version. Players can also personalize their HUD according to their exact preferences. The developers claim that the graphic quality is comparable to commercial video game titles released between 20. The game runs on the DarkPlaces engine and thus supports bloom, dynamic lighting and shadowing, offset mapping, and high dynamic range rendering. The game features a futuristic aesthetic, with maps set in high-tech environments and in space. Weapons have special abilities such as multiple fire modes, which increase the tactical options available to the players. This is done with classic techniques including strafe jumping, bunny hopping, and rocket jumping. Emphasis is placed on movement and player physics, with a focus on gaining speed, jumping great distances, and conquering the level geometry. While the basic concept is inspired by other games of the same genre, there are several unique elements. The gameplay is very fast paced, due to players being able to move at high speed and jump erratically. To score points, players must kill enemies using futuristic weapons while completing objectives. In order to unlock more game modes, players must complete different levels of game play. Hopefully some/all of these will get rolled into official DarkPlaces at some point.There are sixteen different game modes in Xonotic, including classic modes like deathmatch and capture the flag.
