# What is Inexor?

• Inexor will be a new first person shooter game which is based on a new octree-based game engine.
• Inexor focuses on classic gameplay as we've seen in Cube2 or the Quake series.
• Inexor will be written from ground up new in modern C++17.
• You can contribute anything you want: code, content, ideas..
• Inexor and all its content is 100% open source!

# What is the point of Inexor?

• We want to create a game which has classic gameplay but a very powerful embedded world editor.
• Inexor is a sandbox: There is no separation between engine editor and the game itself. Creating the game is part of the game.
• People's ideas for the game will no longer be limited by the underlying engine technology.
• Players can express their map or game mode ideas without any restrictions by us, using a visual scripting enviroment - even collectively in multiplayer.

# Who is behind Inexor?

• A collective of game programmers, artists, or people who are very passionate about gaming.
• There is no strict hierarchy behind this organisation.
• Everybody is welcome.
• Inexor will always try to bring people together.

Features

Visual Scripting

Design and create any game mode you can imagine. Connect interactive components together to open doors in a dungeon crawler. Equip a fort with automatic weapons to conquer with your friends.

Ingame Editor

Craft all the contents needed for maps cooperatively, ingame. Quickly repeat a set of pillars with the prefab editors, or layer your buildings on top of terrain. With the ingame editor, building the game becomes part of the game.

# How to contribute?

• Currently, we are in the process of writing the game engine.
• Programmers and testers are most needed right now.
• Artists and mappers are also welcome, but the time for creating maps has not come yet.

# Why develop a new game engine?

• We need a new octree-based game engine which is based on a task-based, multithreaded engine.
• Vulkan API is a new graphics API which allows us to gain better performance.

# How to get into contact?

• Please join our discord server! Just search for inexor.
• You can also write us: info@inexor.org.

# When will Inexor be playable?

• This depends on the speed of our progress.
• We can't forsee this yet.

# I found a bug in Inexor, what now?

• Open a ticket.

# Which systems will be supported?

• This release contains files for Windows only.
• We are working to get the Linux build working as fast as possible.
• We might support Android in the future.
• Because Apple decided not to support Vulkan API natively, we will not Mac OS. We are not planing on using moltenVK to get our projects running on Mac OS either.

# Is Inexor a fork of Cube2?

• No, Inexor is a new code base which has no dependencies in cube-engine.

# What will be different in Inexor compared with Cube2?

• It is too early to answer this question as we're in the process of writing the game engine first.
• The answer to this question will very much depend on your input.

# Will you use any code parts from cube-engine?

• No. Cube engine is single threaded. This was fine back in the day of its creation but nowadays it acts as a bottleneck for the gpu.

# Will Inexor be compatible with Cube2 or other games?

• No, because Inexor's objective is different.
• We don't want to limit ourselves by supporting old technology?

# Can I import my maps from Cube2 into Inexor?

• We are working on a map converter.
• It is not ready yet.

# What's next?

• v0.1-alpha.3: May 10th, 2020.
