Alientrap is a team of game developers that develops
free software games.
They make games for
GNU/Linux,
Mac OS X,
Windows and several other operating systems.
History
Alientrap was started in Summer
2002 by Lee Vermeulen, with the development of
Nexuiz.
Originally, the roadmap of the team was to make a small, fun deathmatch to give the team experience called Nexuiz, then the team would move on to more ambitious projects.
However, Nexuiz had become a large and ambitous project.
Once Nexuiz was released, Alientrap started a new project,
Zymotic.
Zymotic is a single-player
first-person shooter still in development.
But Nexuiz hasn't been abandoned; it's still being maintained today.
So far, every project has been a
first-person shooter that uses the
DarkPlaces engine (which was developed by a current team member).
Nexuiz made the Games page of
Slashdot on release, but never the front page.
However, Nexuiz 2.0's release made the
digg frontpage.
