Development

Following the success of BlobBUDDY, the developer turned to making a new Microsoft Agent application. Many people in the community wanted to see a re-creation of the MaxALERT program, with one user in particular, CosmicToons, assisting in designing of assets and the majority of the voice lines. With CosmicToons' help, a MaxALERT Rewritten Beta became available on June 16th, 2023. Following a long development period, the first complete version, 1.00, was released on August 7th, 2023.[2]

On September 5th, 2024, MaxALERT Rewritten became open-source under the Mozilla Public License 2.0. Future releases of MaxALERT Rewritten are expected to remain proprietary. [3]
