Here is a nice (but slightly older) game-play video for those not having played Xonotic yet:
Changes are quite extensive compared to the last official release... most notably an extensive update the the CTF mode, some neat additional features for competitive gaming and an assortment of great new maps.
New maps in Xonotic 0.7 |
There are also finally an animation bending feature for the player-models and creation of new characters has never been easier now that the iqm format is used.
You can comment on this release over at the Xonotic forum release announcement thread (or of course here in our comment section).
Also check out these two still under heavy development mods for xonotic:
- Overkill is a mod that attempts to combine the best of minsta gameplay and TDM/CTF. It also has some nice vector shaded new weapons and player models.
- DotC is an DOTA like but in 1st person view type of mod.
P.S.: If you have a really fast Android device, you can also try to run Xonotic on it via this newly fixed DarkPlaces port. Just don't expect to be able to compete online with touchscreen input :p
