- Krinkels did art and design.
- The-Swain programmed all features and groundwork for the combat system from scratch.
- Cheshyre provided most of the soundtrack; Devin Martin provided the track Killbot and Horror Stereo provided the Skynet VIP remix.
- Luis designed the UI and menu system.
- Afro-Ninja and Mike provided code support at various times.
The game focuses on episode-based gameplay, with different characters to play as, along with an Arena Mode where you can create and upgrade your own character who you can customize with gear and weapons. There were originally 3 Episodes planned, with an appearance from the entire Madness Combat cast.
According to The-Swain, Madness: Project Nexus (Classic) was supposed to be a simulator of the Madness Combat episodes, placing them right in the middle of the action that made the series popular. [1]
According to Krinkels, Madness: Project Nexus (Classic) cannot be updated anymore. Certain symbols keep on swapping around with other ones, and et cetera. [2]
The sequel, MADNESS: Project Nexus, developed by Krinkels and The-Swain using Unity Engine instead of Flash, was released on September 29th, 2021. During the sequel's development in 2020, "Madness: Project Nexus 2", the sequel's old title, was renamed to simply "MADNESS: Project Nexus", likely for marketing reasons. The original game was renamed to "Madness: Project Nexus (Classic)" to avoid confusion.

*Special Attack: A special attack can be executed by gun-using foes. A special attack is a charged attack that, when performed, will knock down the player, penetrating the player's TAC-Bar and causing damage. It can be prevented by wounding/killing the opponent or by dodging/blocking**/standing really close to the enemy at the last second.
**Blocking fails for lower-skilled characters, such as Sanford and Deimos.
Gameplay
Story Mode
Story Mode is a game mode that allows the player to play as one of Madness Combat's main characters. Each level has its own goal and must be completed in order to unlock the next one.
Episode 1 follows Hank, Sanford and Deimos in their mission to bring down Project Nexus. The final boss is Mag Agent: N.
Episode 1.5 follows Dr. Christoff and his involvement in Project Nexus's origin. This episode is significantly more challenging than Episode 1. The final boss is Phobos.
Arena Combat Mode
Arena Combat is a game mode that allows the player to use a customized character to fight enemy units in an arena. These units consist of the enemies seen in Episode 1 of the Story Mode such as agents and G03LMs. Every kill gives the player a certain amount of experience and money. After gaining a certain amount of experience, the player will level up and be awarded with points that can be spent on increasing stats or gaining weapon perks. Money can be used to buy weapons and hire mercenaries for the player's team.
