===What is this all about?===

Unvanquished is a free open-source first-person shooter and strategy game with 3D graphics created by Unvanquished Development. Players fight online in team based combat in a war of [[aliens]] against [[humans]]. The game is available for most major platforms (Linux, Mac and Windows).

While the humans are equipped with weapons that they use to exterminate the alien presence, the aliens have only their pincers and a few special attacks, such as poison gas, and ranged electrical and projectile attacks. Players do not spawn at random points in the map; instead, each map has default spawn points and both teams are capable of moving them wherever they please. Both teams have other buildings that round out their base, such as machinegun turrets for the humans and barricades for the aliens. Either team wins by destroying the opposing team's spawn points and killing any remaining members of that team before they are able to build any more spawn points or the game timer ends.

Earlier versions of play were based on a port of [http://tremulous.net Tremulous], however Unvanquished is under heavy development and is quickly becoming a very different game. We aim to provide a transparent development process that is open to the community, and frequently publish releases. We use the [[Engine features|Daemon engine]] , which is a fork of the Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory engine (ET:Xreal and OpenWolf), and provides a number of modern graphics and features over Tremulous' ioQuake3-based engine.

There are a number of ways you can help. If you would like to contribute to the project, contact a team member on the [http://unvanquished.net/forum/ forums] or on [[IRC]]. We have two channels, [irc://freenode.net/#unvanquished #unvanquished] and [irc://freenode.net/#unvanquished-dev #unvanquished-dev] on [http://freenode.net// Freenode]. The former is for general discussion, while the latter is strictly for development-related discussion, so while members of the public are welcome at either, please keep the discussion on #unvanquished-dev on topic.

If you do not have an IRC client, you can use the [http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=unvanquished web chat] directly in your browser.
