The first version of Nexuiz, a free fast-paced, chaotic, and intense multiplayer first person shooter, focused on providing basic, old style deathmatch, has been released. 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.
