Is the developement of this game still alive ?

What I don't understand is: would it really be that much of a problem for MM to spend a day or two deciding about what should be done about Soldat?

The time MM is taking says that Soldat will be opensource, even though everything in me tells me it's not. Plus EnEsCe said he's resigning as main developer. The two of them could be dicideng who this will be... I don't know...

It's not like there's a deadline for finishing Link-Dead.

True, but 'we' as the Soldat community have learned -because we have to- be patient. Once you get tired of waiting and look away the announcement will be here.

Jesus, can you imagine how bad Soldat would be if it were open source? Version control NIGHTMARE. It's hard enough to find a GOOD server (see: impossible) right now, think about how hard it would be after everyone starts making their "lol in this version you can play as a girl" or whatever versions!

Yeah, girls make finding servers so much harder

No, I meant different Soldat versions that have stupid slightly different features.

1.4.1 - 1.4.2 - 1.5.0

Nah, kidding I don't think that'll be much of a problem

Soldat would have his own official repository with trusted commiters.

Even if that happens there will be still only one real version of Soldat.
Look at XChat, there are a few unofficial versions but they have different names.

You have to make sure the official version is under active development or a fork will win.
