Reinventing CERIX
Published April 21, 2008 in Development
We're doing some massive updates to the CERIX
system, funded in part by corporate interest in
using some of our codebase (sweet!). It'll remain
free, and we'll actually be expanding the
development options.
We're moving to an open-development (not
open-source) system. What does this mean?
Also, we're thinking of changing the name to ZONE Combat System (ZCS). Feedback is welcome.
- Developing for CERIX will remain completely free.
- Your content will continue to work.
- You may apply for a free API to develop not just weapons but plug-ins for the system.
- Developers will have full access to almost all aspects of CERIX interaction - not just damage but stun, push, heal, etc.
- We're keeping the rest of the details secret until we're ready to launch, but they're all very good.
