 Originally released as shareware, in 2009 Dodekaedron placed the source code, documentation, images and sounds under the GPLv3 on Sourceforge, hosted later on github.com.The community continued the support and ported the game via SDL to other platforms as Linux and Windows.A sequel, Triplane Turmoil 2, was released in 2006

The world of "Triplane Turmoil" appears to be set during or some time after the First World War, possibly in the mid-1920s, given the fact that triplanes still have nose-mounted machine guns using interrupter gear, and appear to be capable of carrying and releasing fairly heavy ordnance.
