Hi all, I've been out of the YakYak loop for a good while, I just bought myself a new 27" iMac and would really like to know if SG and / or GR R are coming to Mac in the near future? My previous PC had no chance running either of them.

Edit: had a look at some comments re: Mac version, I guess my hopes are futile :(

You can still play it on a Mac using Boot Camp with XP.

RiK may chime in here with tips or help in that regard. :)

Edit: There's also reports of Steam coming out on Macs soon:

Yeah, it runs fine with boot camp as then your Mac is just running natively as a PC. Personally I don't bother though as I can't be arsed to keep rebooting my whole machine into windoze just for one game :)

Well yeah, but that's not really relevant as that's going to be serving up native Mac versions of games not windows apps and so without a Mac-specific version the steam bit will be irrelevant.

Aah, right, didn't think about it just being a GUI for games specific to the platform it was on. :oops: :roll:

Thanks guys, I don't think I want to install Windows to this one, I'm bad at that kind of stuff anyways, guess I'll have to just accept my defeat :|

.. it is a bit complicated ..

From one side .. we can't really tell what we are working on .. it's a bit of a delicate thing and there are some NDAs too.

From another side, we don't want to tell - yet - what we are working on because at the stage of the things well we simply
find it better to "keep it low until is properly done".

From another side we could have things to say but those are not what people would like to hear from us and that could
backfire to us if improperly used.

From another side we are working on something that is really cool, is shaping up really awesome and we want to keep it
a bit hidden until is properly awesome and so good that "nobody can say a thing on it", especially when the thing is in
"prototype stage" and "constantly subject to modifications and improvements".

Fundametally we are trying to disconnect from the route of "selling the bear's skin before you got the bear" we want people
to be able to judge a thing for what it is not for what "it could be, it could have been, it's not even what it will be".

"Less noise, more productivity".

Well, obiviously we started to work on iPhone long ago, that is a fact and obiviously "I have not spent all that time studying
and learning a new architecture for nothing" :wink:

I can only say, code speaking, there's been a time where "we threw away all the bad of the past and kept the good
and made it even better" widening the target" .. and this should suffice :wink:

Trust me I am not the kind of person scared to do a "tabula rasa" and destroy everything to re-build it totally again
"in a new way" .. I've done it many times .. with code and life as well.

But, there also been "various modifications" of various things by using a sentence that seems to be "very popular" in those
days we can well say "things are not what they used to be", in fact now is more C++ than C, there are 6 different machines
on my desk, Ubuntu is not used just to run the web server, I can ( in fact I use ) XCODE and I understand some of
Objective C as well, I know something about ADA too now, I know more graphic systems than before and I have a huge
shiny new machine on my desk since some months that I'll just cry the day I'll have to give it back again.

That is more than enough to leave you speculate 8)

Oh, there are some lies in the middle of what I just said but I'll leave you to find out :wink:

Well, unless the CIA[1] have resumed their LSD experiments and asked Llamasoft to write them a simulator, I'd imagine that Ada is one of the red herrings.

[1] OK, CIA!=DoD but they're pretty close.

.. tch .. people always thinking the obivious .. :wink:

.. when you remove all the things that look possible but are not
true what remains for as much impossible as it may seems must
be the truth ?
