The first release of NewHexen is now available at its official site. NewHexen is described as an "engine source port for Hexen II by Jacques 'Korax' Krige. It fixes many of the things left from the original that the HexenWorld community has requested, and adds many next generation features that gamers everywhere today really require." The initial version 1.13 takes 8.5 MB to download and includes fog, colored light, sky shaders, model interpolation and more, as well as the tools for level designers to apply these features to their own maps.
