Question !! ?

[Comrade Kimo]

With the main developing company of Sudden Strike down since 2009-2010 (Fireglow - CDV software)
Who is possibly gaining the funds of the games when the copies are sold on the online game markets to this day, like GOG and Steam?

[Last Soldier]

Kalypso Media/Kite Games is the owner of the licence now

[Ingwio]

After CDV went bankrupt, the licenses, including sublicenses, were sold off to many different companies. It wasn't until Kalypso released Sudden Strike 4 from Kite Games that Kalypso apparently also secured the licenses or sublicenses.

I would like to point out separately: it is the licenses, not the source codes!

[Last Soldier]

Source code is "lost", which probably means that someone took the data backups home

By any chance does Kalypso have this source code somewhere? If they realise that some community members are still willing to improve the games, especially SS1, SS2, SSRW & SS3, they might cooperate with us. We have talented modders and programmers but without the source code we are missing many opportunities

Hi. I talked to the real developers of the game. Those who were able to communicate with me said that everything was lost. I think there's no reason to ask for the source code.

A person who reverses the game code has already appeared. The game is written in pure C language.

Thanks to his work, I learned a lot about the game.

I also joined the project. I'm writing a review cad1024.dll but using pure c++.

Just some kind of game structure, but without gameplay?

There have been various projects appearing here lately, but given the difficulty it will be a long time before anything playable appears.

Perhaps Panzer Strike is the furthest along.

This project has implemented the reverse of the code on:
1. menu.dll %80
2. cad1024 %50
3. game_exe.exe %100

I'm still studying, so I'm practicing my cad skills.

I don't have a goal to create a new game, my task is to get the SS1&SSF source code.

I have a team of 3 and we are planning to make an add-on for vanilla Sust2, it's main purpose is fixing all possible to fix bugs, new campaigns, add missing units and sounds.
If you can help us in anyway to make it, we would be appreciating your help to the fullest limit
We have a group in WhatsApp where we discuss the making of the game, would you like to join us?

[NASHRIPPER]

I'm not interested in that. I started modding games 16 years ago, but now I have one task - the source code of SS1 and SSF

[Comrade Kimo]

Good luck
