84 <h1 id="intro">Introduction</h1>
86 <p>Nexuiz is a 3d deathmatch game based on the <a href="http://www.idsoftware.com/"><span class="linktext">The Quake1 engine was the first 3D game engine to feature fully a textured 3D environment. Originally developped by iDsoftware, it has since been released into the open source community.</span>Quake1</a> engine. It is a 3d deathmatch game made entirely over the internet. The purpose of the game is to bring deathmatch back to the basics, with perfect weapon balancing and fast paced action, keeping itself away from the current trend of realistic shooters. It uses HFX textures by <a href="http://evillair.net/"><span class="linktext">EvilLair is a talented texture designer made famous by his Quake3 textures</span>Evil Lair</a>, and has many maps to frag in.</p>
87 <p>With an advanced UI the user can select between over a dozen different player models with an average of two skins for each and can connect to our master server to play people from all over the world. The game's content and source are released under the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/"><span class="linktext">The GNU General Public License (GPL) is one of the most common open-source licenses and was the license id Software chose to release the Quake1 engine under </span>GPL</a>, meaning it is entirely free and any of it can be used in other free projects, even if modified. This is a first for any large game project of its type. We hope this will support the free game community and encourage more GPL projects.</p>
