- Change of guard - 25 May 2022
In the wake of recent events in the Soldat community, I think, everyone felt the need for some kind of change and resolution. Trying to help with the situation I only discovered I can't help much, because Soldat needs a strong leadership and management. Not only from the community side, but it needs a developer effort. Unfortunately I can't provide that because my efforts are entirely focused on Soldat 2. Out of this seeming despair a solution sprang out during the last few weeks. I have been contacted by a team of individuals offering to take over Soldat and help fix everything that is currently wrong. At first I was skeptical, but after much talking, I learnt they have not only good ideas but the resources and work power to do this. They want to first and foremost fix the Gather situation, unite the community and fix some of the long-standing Soldat bugs and issues. It sounds very goo…

- Soldat 1.8 has been released as open source! - 25 May 2020
I still remember the game I started making which was the beginning of Soldat. I was in high school 2000/2001 and in my free time I was coding a game called “Strike of the Dragon”. It was a karate platformer. Something like Karateka by Jordan Mechner but based on ragdoll physics. If I’m not mistaken, the first game ever to have ragdolls was Hitman (released in 2000) and the paper written by one of its creators inspired me to do ragdolls in 2D (so I think, Soldat was the first published 2D game ever to have ragdoll physics). “Strike of the Dragon” had platformer tile-based maps and when I conceived Soldat in my mind I knew I wanted to make something like Liero. But bitmap-based maps like Liero were out of the question because of how much memory that would take. Also I wanted the physics to be much smoother. And this is where I remembered Elastomania. A game where you drove a motorbike on…
- Soldat 2 Demo - 23 April 2020
https://i.imgur.com/uBjhUwy.gif Hi everyone :) I'm MM and I created both games so I thought I'd share this with everybody (I won't be doing it frequently cause this is a space for Soldat 1). So for over 2 years now I have been making Soldat 2 which will soon be available in Early Access. But right now you can already play the Soldat 2 demo for free! If you want to be alerted for future news, such as the game release, please WISHLIST the game on the Steam store page (wishlisting helps me very much!) https://store.steampowered.com/app/474220 Watch the raw gameplay footage: I'm working hard on polishing the game for its multiplayer release, making sure the movement is as fun as in Soldat 1. But don't worry about S1 being replaced. S1 will always remain free and I'm sure both games can co-exist and mutually benefit from each other (remember that Soldat 2 news and marketing brings people in…
