It's a game designed to be Free Software. It uses the id Tech 3 engine source code (which is released under the GNU General Public License v2), and fills in the blank with all new media to make a game.

  • It's not a 'scavenge the internet for stuff' compilation project, the only things scavenged are some maps, which are OKAY because their source was released under the GPL.
  • Everything is strictly open source so they can be improved forever (and ever). 
  • The additional "Missionpack" game types and weapons are merged into the base, so you get to lay the mines in overload maps. 
  • There's more game types than the base game, like Domination, Last Man Standing, and what not. 
  • Uses ioq3 for various feature additions, but it is not ioq3 dependent; it's also intended to be vanilla compatible. (The only thing that won't work is ogg music) 
  • The art direction is different and not strictly 'gothic'. There's more of a eastern slant than the usual 'put skulls n' blood all over it's cool' you find in most games. 
  • It's not next-gen, and computer compatibility range is wide enough to run on that dusty Pentium II in your attic. 
  • There are bots, perfect for when you're stranded on an island. 
  • There's also people playing it on the internet.
  • It is Free Software, so there's no guilt in downloading it and redistributing it.

WARNING: OpenArena contains Mature Content. I'm serious. If you don't like shooting the bloody guts and beating hearts out of voluptuous barely modest combatants then don't play it, or play without the mature pk3 file and use com_blood 0/cg_showGibs 0 (but be aware that pure servers may not agree with this).

OpenArena Progress Report #2

2009-09-12


The color of the pen is rrrrrrr.....ROYAL BLUE


For a while i've been playing with colors for the classic menu system to break the hardcoded tradition of red/orange graphics that has been for all versions. The background is animated and I have no new buttons yet.  In the screenshot, there's also VoIP support picked up from ioq3 as well.



Spacekrieg

ArmageddonMan on the forums has been mapping for a bit and i've only just recently committed his map pack to the SVN. The map at the top is called Space Contact. Over below that is a joint production between Bozceq and ArmageddonMan for a map called Blitzkrieg 2.


Revenge of the cats

Neko is no longer an Angelyss skin anymore. She is now getting her own player model, hopefully looking great once she gets her joints all figured out. The skin is incomplete to the point there's still no clothing so all I can show here is just a wire view.  The double-skirt )one is asymmetrical, the other is just symmetrical, in UV mapping) allows many improvisations to the creative opportunities for skinning.  Also (for you pervs) she has the biggest chest in the game which makes her the final new 'mature' model. SHE'S ALSO FROM JAPAN, SO KAWAII =<^_^>=

 

Coming Up Next Week: what the font!!?

I still wish there had been nicely physic modelled titties. Nah, I'm just joshing, this saves me buying Quake 3, ironically for the third time. I bet John Carmack hates you and all of your friends.

If you still have the Gargoyle Arena player models you should add them to OA.
