Allegiance Rebuild

Tigereye owns the site, pkk moderates it.
I talked to TE last year and he is willing to let someone else take over ownership, not sure who the best choice for that would be.

Going to be honest, taking the rights for allegiance and using the current game isn't really the best use of time or funds for us. You can't copyright gameplay so making a game (ie those alleg 2 projects) using none of the MS artwork names or factions might be the way to go. I mean half the factions we already have are player made.

The current engine isn't all that salvagable and eventually might end up unsalvagible due to some windows change. One other thing.

Alleg2 will likely not belong to the community, but to a core of individuals who are motivated to do the job (possibly financially). That would honestly be the best thing for the new game, the buerocracy of the community is the biggest barrier for allegiance. (The game itself being the second hurdle.)

The time to be conservative with the fate of allegiance has past. Trying to preserve the current order will just prove a detrement overall. Every year fewer and fewer people play allegiance. In the end what we need is something more than allegiance. You want the bells and whistles, minimal install problems. New factions and balance. We should try to make a spiritual successor to allegiance, keeping the old man on life support forever just isn't plausible.

Alleg 2 is a contingency plan IMO. It's happening whether we do this or not. I don't see why we can't work towards this goal while that happens. Xj is very adamant about not having anyone help him on this if they're not a dev.

Um......NO...

Also, if you are going to code the engine from scratch...why bother with rights from MS?? That's the hardest part!

Can we exclude any discussion of engine swaps, "Allegiance 2", and other things that have absolutely nothing to do with marketing Alleg as it currently is from this thread?

If you don't want to discuss marketing Alleg as it currently is, go make a thread about porting Alleg to a new engine and Allegiance 2, or whatever you would like to talk about. Stop derailing this discussion.

J0akes. You mentioned the fellow you were going to contact on Twitch.

How is that coming along? Have you spoken with this individual about broadcasting Alleg rather than sending you that prize?

I flew for monkey monkey back in the day.

IMO Alleg 2 would just bypass all the issues we have with everything currently. Its probably the hardest way. But usually the right way is hard.

Please answer my previous question. Have you made any attempt to contact the person you previously mentioned on Twitch who could stream the game?
