Why Contribute to XEvil?

Fun

Game programming is fun, that's why we started XEvil in the first place.  Making blood and death and gore is what it's all about.  XEvil has a flexible architecture designed around ease of adding new characters, weapons, items, game scenarios, etc.  You have some good ideas, bring them to life (or death, as it may be).

Credit

XEvil has been around for years now, (see the XEvil timeline), and has a user base in the tens of thousands.  Graphic and sound artists can show off their work.  You will be added to the credits for XEvil and you can say your work is in a shipping product.  Point perspective employers at www.xevil.com and tell them what parts you did.

Experience

Creating something, merging it into the XEvil code base, and getting your changes approved by Satan is not a trivial task.  There are a number of engineering and other issues involved in the process of turning the idea in your head into part of a shipping product.  Satan demands a high degree of quality in XEvil.  You will gain marketable experience in game development as you go through the iterative process of refining your work until it is ready to ship.

Fix Shit

Some bug in XEvil personally drives you nuts?  Some feature that is just begging to be implemented?  "XEvil would be ten times better if it could just do <blank>"?  Well, you no longer have to wait for the bug/feature to get to the top of Satan's list of priorities.  You can "fix it your damn self".
