Soldat was actually the first shareware I bought, as I totally didn't have to, yet I sunk so many hours in it.

Without doing much progress skill wise :-D

haha me too! I sent a bank cheque to MM when I was 12 because I wanted to support the guy (and I was so glad that this game existed because I had a toaster and couldn't play any of the "modern" 3D games at the time)

MM even opensourced it https://github.com/soldat/soldat

In the meantime the repository moved to: https://github.com/opensoldat/opensoldat After MM sold the game to someone else I felt like it would be better to make sure the name is different as the new owner had different plans and did not want to continue releasing the source code.

Later someone unknown hijacked the original url and copied an outdated version of the repository (you can see the mention of OpenSoldat.)

Thx i didnt know that. Was actually wondering about why 2.

FYI Soldat used/uses PascalScript and had no classes in the beginning (they where added later to the ScriptCore.)

It's still around. The FLOSS version is called OpenSoldat now (I plan to get it back on track eventually as it became unstable with Version 1.8).

Really enjoyed the quick compile times :)
