Re: Linux games :)
That must take some effort to make it like that, you have to have good programming discipline to do that. Good stuff.

Re: Linux games :)
As far as Mac ports go, I do know that Apple is on top of their PR game right now, and I know that if you make a Mac app that runs on OSX and let Apple know about it, Apple will do at least a little bit of promotion on it on their site, regardless how well-known the developer is. About 2 years ago, their "featured partner" of the month was this little outfit called Ambrosia Software, which still operates as a shareware company.
I also know that in recent months, Ambrosia has worked with at least one other small Windows developer to port a game to the Mac platform. I have zero knowledge of how this worked or what business arrangement they came up with. I just know they worked something out and did it, so it can be done.

Great suggestion! I'll call up Jobs right away. ...oops, I forgot he has me blacklisted because I bash Macs so much 
But it would be great for Macophiles, Shrapnel, Illwinter and the Dominions community if, say, Apple would show off Dom II and post the demo on its main site. Maybe Shrapnel has the clout to be heard by Apple PR people? |
