Stargate SG-1: The Alliance

Well, as some of you have noticed, Ive been looking for this game for at least two years now. And sadly, I still havent found it. But, I did do a short interview with the lead designer on the project, Viljar Sommerback, and even discovered a previously-unknown project.

SuperiorVersion : What was your primary roll on the project?
Viljar Sommerback : I was the lead designer on the project. That involved designing and tweaking the core gameplay, the user interface, designing levels with the level designers, writing and maintaining game design documents etc.

SV : How far along was the game at its cancellation? Was it at a state where it was playable for most of the way through the game, or were certain concepts and worlds still being worked on?
Viljar : We had just passed alpha when the game was canceled, so the game was playable most of the way. All levels and functionality were in, but there were a lot of polish and bug fixing left to be done.

SV : What sort of support did the team receive from MGM and others that had worked on the SG-1 TV show?
Viljar : The creative people from the show were very helpful. The actors themselves went to great lengths when they recorded the script, and I would say they went beyond the call of duity when it came to delivering one-lines, and variations on them, for the interative combat and ambience chatter. I really liked how that system worked out in the end, together with the voice work that the actors did. Peter DeLuise (Editor note: Served as a producer, writer, director, and creative consultant on SG-1, along with work on Atlantis and Universe) was there for the entire voice recording and directed/oversaw it.

The script we made was commented on. Some of the game features were also commented on, in order to make sure that they stayed true to the spirit and lore of the Stargate universe. We got 3d face scans of all the members of the SG-1 team. Richard Dean Anderson even went to E3 to promote the game! All in all I would say that we got great support with the production of the game from the creative talents that worked on the show.

Too bad it got canned
Any reason why?

There have been so many SG games been announced, not one made it gold....

It really sucks that this game was cancelled especially considering all the actors from the actual show put so many hours into the voice acting etc, lets just hope it doesn't go to waste and someone makes a release or something gets released

Unfortunately, no builds are known to have been sent to the press. Reason is in the article for its cancellation

Publisher and rights issues really. It had enough to differentiate itself, especially for a licensed product, plenty of support from the SG-1 crew, but it just wasnt to be.
