Executive Producer and Designer for Allegiance, Joel Dehlin (Solap online), along with Chris Moffat, has worked quite hard and successfully got Microsoft to release the Source Code to the Community. Solap was a developer who was close to the Community throughout Microsoft's support, often organizing the big Solap games.

The Escapist (Justin Emerson) @ Dec 21 2010, 02:33 PM:
The history of open-source Allegiance is paved with the bodies of dead code branches, forum flame wars, and personal vendettas. But a community remains because people still love the game.

Great guy to work with, very passionate (it goes without saying) about Allegiance, and hated to see him dart off to the Windows Mobile group after we shipped because I wanted to see Allegiance 2. The guys at MSR and ZONE were tops. I'll always hold the time spent on Allegiance as the happiest of times (again, it goes without saying as I'm still here playing everyday).

You guys (Original allegiance team, and later devs) are the best!

I suspect we'll end up making Allegiance II as a community project some years from now. Just you wait and see /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />
