He mentions that Mac does better than Linux, but perhaps not enough, again, to be a priority. It's great that people are enthusiastic about it, but there's just not nearly as many people that are interested in paying for a game on the platform, and that just seems to be the reality.'īased on John's comments regarding Linux, they just are not seeing the return to make it a priority. 'Linux is an issue that's taken a lot more currency with Valve announcing Steam for Linux, and that does change, factor, you know, changes things a bit, but we've made two forays into the Linux commercial market, most recently with Quake Live client, and, you know, that platform just hasn't carried its weight compared to the Mac on there. (From John Carmack's comments at QuakeCon 2012 ): With the recent announcement of Google Chrome's roadmap to turning off plugin support and the upcoming changes in Firefox, it seems that now is the time to make the transition.'Ģ. 'Over the past few years, browser support for plugins such as QUAKE LIVE have dropped off significantly, causing problems for plugins to operate in a consistent and working manner.

Warsow vs xonotic code#

It's a one-man-show and has some ugly models, but it gets the job done of being a complete content replacement for Quake 3 and capitalizing on Quake 3's open-source code to give you a 100% free/opensource implementation of Q3 complete with compatibility for most mods. Just enough stuff to keep the game interesting without bogging you down with too much crap.Įdit: Also, there's OpenArena. Support old Quake rcon and new Darkplaces secure rcon protocols. Shotgun, Rocket-launcher, Sniper as the main weapons, and a chain-gun filling in the BFG10k's role of 'OP weapon that you burn through the ammo in seconds' and a pistol and grenade launcher for 'crappy stuff you start with'. Works with such games like Xonotic, Nexuiz, Warsow and other games with Quakes rcon. That and I love the beautiful simplicity of the weaponspread. Somehow, this lets people build terrain that looks like this: Īlso there's Cube 2 - uglier than the ones you mentinoed, but it has a fantastic built-in level-editor that minecraft fans should love since it uses a very twisted perversion of voxels - the landscape is cubes where you can nudge the corners around.

Warsow vs xonotic software#

Warsow has reached it 1.0 release and is has a free software engine, but the game assets are proprietary. Loads of great original maps, and a active community. It also features a 'dash', that is that you can turn without loosing velocity and do walljumps etc. It got that Borderland cartoonish look and it fits really well in this fast paced genre. Warsow is a Quake with a unique twist regarding movement and graphics. 1.0 is not released yet, but it's already very mature and fun, it's also completely free software.

I highly recommend to try out this title if you are interested in this genre. It features secondary fire mode, loads of modes and original maps and foremost a really awesome community. Xonotic is a fusion of Quake and Unreal Tournoment.

Warsow even got through the Steam greenlight program and will be on Steam soon.ġ. This is great for Xonotic and Warsow! I hope the majority will look for a new FPS on Linux and Macintosh and find either Xonotic or Warsow, both great games.
