Tremulous is a free, open source game that blends a team based FPS with elements of an RTS. Players can choose from 2 unique races, aliens and humans. Players on both teams are able to build working structures in-game like an RTS. These structures provide many functions, the most important being spawning. The designated builders must ensure there are spawn structures or other players will not be able to rejoin the game after death. The overall objective behind Tremulous is to eliminate the opposing team. This is achieved by not only killing the opposing players but also removing their ability to respawn by destroying their spawn structures.

Development on Tremulous is nearing completion, but before we can call it 'finished' it needs to be tested more extensively. The primary aim of this testing is to balance the mod, which is particularly important for Tremulous since the each of the two teams in the game are different. Balance data is generated daily that illustrates where the current level of balance is with various numbers of players. We have plenty of data for small games, but very little for higher volume games.

Tremulous can be downloaded easily in one big zip file that is regenerated weekly. Note you only need the big zip file, the individual pk3 files are for keeping up to date if new files are uploaded before the main download is updated. If you decide to participate, it is a great help if you also idle in #tremulous on irc.quakenet.org. All games are organised in this channel and there are always people around who can help get Tremulous up and running (which isn't hard incidentally -- just unzip into your Quake 3 directory and go). Our test server is server.tremulous.net:27960. I highly recommend you set cl_allowdownload to 1 in the console so that any updates will be automatically installed.

In summary:

  • Download
  • Chat; #tremulous irc.quakenet.org
  • Play; server.tremulous.net:27960

So this is a ripoff of a ripoff then? Not to discouirage you, but tons of people play NS so this would be much like making a Counterstrike ripoff. Whereas, people would more prefer playing the original.

I suggest you take a look at a mod called Gloom for Quake 2, which not only incorporates the game play features you list, but also predates Natural Selection by a number of years. If you accuse this of being a rip off, it is none moreso than Natural Selection is of Gloom.

I also suggest you obtain a copy of GDM Feb 2001, where Charlie Cleveland (author of NS) cites Gloom as inspiration:

Though your models are nice, it is an exact duplicate of Natural Selection.

1.Humans vs. Aliens
2.Building structures llike spawning
3.Aliens killing humans to evolve.
4.Objective is destroying all players=structures.
5.Even the map are quite similar right down to style and textures.

Nice try, but try being a little more creative.
