TGEA Mac status

#1 I would rather mean Open GL status instead :)

Nothing to be expected before next year IMHO.

#2 Just give it up :-)

Honestly, if TGEA ever comes out for platforms other than Windows, it will be happy day. Until then, either write it yourself [a *lot* of work, judging by the fact GG haven't done it themselves], "limit" yourself to TGE, or use a different engine.

#3 The MK kit for TGE is cross-platform isn't it? TGE with MK is a decent alternative :)

#4 Could we get a statement from GG on their vision for multi-platform support?

The engine will be very attractive to me (as I suspect it will be for other Mac users) when the upgrade path is clear. Although the Modernisation Kit is great news, part of the appeal of multi-platform engine is the wider knowledge base and larger community that comes with a common implementation. It's been 6 months since the DirectX release - any news?

What are you talking about?

Edit: Ah yeah. I see what you're saying now. The *official release* was 6 months ago, true. Thanks Tim.

#6 The official TGEA version 1 release was in February, it's now August, that's six months. Although I think I see your point Stefan, TGEA has been in development since at least 2004.

#7 Well, the official position on Mac shader engine support is this:

We're working on it, and will have more to say about it before the end of the year.

Share and Enjoy.

#8 Thanks Paul.
An ETA for May 2008 is still realistic then... 8-)

#9 What is "said" by the end of 2007 by Paul or GarageGames is anyones guess however.

Manage expectations...manage expectations...


:)

#10 Heheh, I'm protecting myself by adding an extra delay.
I shouldn't be disappointed that way. ;-)

Guess what's on Christmas wish list?
