Supported Systems? 

 Hello.

Will you have Mac OS X and GNU/Linux support? Or is this Windows only?

Re: Supported Systems? 

Hello and welcome to the forum, djxfade.

We are developing a PC/Windows game first. Support for Mac OSX and maybe Linux is a clear possibility, but we cannot commit to that now.

This and more is answered in the FAQ in Announcements.

Re: Supported Systems? 

Looking forward to the possibility for Mac-support as well, though I will try to maintain my old windows-computer to keep it going for another year.

Re: Supported Systems? 

Boot your Mac in windows or something.

 

But seriously you don't expect that companies will develop games for Mac, do you? Although nothing is wrong with Mac hardware or OS, but do you really think that a game company, espesially indie one is going to use money, time and resourses to port a game to a system that only a small percentage people use? And the fact that most gamers don't use mac at all, makes it even less atractive to make a game for one.

As for Linux support, I have to laugh there. Do you expect that any game company is going to make patches for every distro out there?

 

Personally I would rather see developers to use their time to make patches, or expansion packs instead of porting to every system out there.

Re: Supported Systems? 

I agree - but when the developers say that there is a possibility for a mac version, I would be happy to buy it, and I would also like to express my support for the idea to the developers.

I would rather buy and use one OS  instead of two, but until/if at all the mac version is avaliable, I would be perfectly happy with a windows version.
