I was here on the forums several months ago letting Chris know that I was attempting to make a Mac port of this game because it just sounded so wonderful to me.
I'm happy to return now all these months later to say that I have created a Mac port and am currently testing it. As it stands the game launches and plays, it has a few bugs sure, but it was never going to be perfect. I'm trying to minimize these bugs at the moment, and am hoping to remove some of the major ones in the coming month.
I have created this port and am testing this all on Mac OSX 10.6.8, so please don't ask if it will work on older or newer versions, I simply don't know.
The game runs smooth though, I had some FPS issues last month, but they have been resolved since.
Now I know people are itching to get in the action now, but I cannot release this for two reasons:
1) I need permission from Chris about all of this obviously, so I await his reply.
2) Its not quite there.
If I released it now there would be some level of complaining I'd imagine from the users, as certain aspects are very bugged and ar giving off some nasty bug splats etc, but I am working my best to fix these.
I'm hoping to release the first Mac version in two weeks. Again, pending approval from Chris.
So all I can say is stay tuned to this post, I will just update here instead of making a new one every time I have news, so stay in touch here!
