This means that there will be no single person with total control over the project. In addition to the stronger focus on the community, Xonotic will also pursue a clearer agenda including the following: - -*Game Changes:* -# new set of player models and animations -# new set of sounds -# new music -# default maps will get a makeover -# New stronger bot AI -# new names for weapons and gamemodes (especially ones using the "nex" prefix) -# Low quality textures will be dropped and replaced with higher quality ones - -*Project Changes:* -# use of GIT versioning system instead of SVN -# better attention to marketing and public relations -# a more defined artistic direction -# more emphasis on recruiting -# better organization of contributors -# more focus on community activities (tournaments, contests, etc) -# More frequent releases -# Global player stats tracking system, supporting anonymous player as well - -While we don't have a specific timeline for the first release under the new title, you can track the progress and updates on *"our website":http://xonotic.org*, on *"twitter":http://twitter.com/xonotic* , *"facebook":http://facebook.com/xonotic* and in IRC: #xonotic on irc.quakenet.org - -Please visit our *"FAQ Page":http://xonotic.org/faq* for more detailed information about this project. - -We look forward to creating a game that everyone can feel a part of.
