Just for the record it currently looks unlikely that there will be a mac version in the short term. It currently look like the target will only just be made, and the stretch goal of a mac version is fairly far off. Quite what that means for the mac version isnt clear, but it wont be a priority.Ramirez wrote:even though I'm not 100% sure my Mac can take it
That's a sign of contented players, with no OXP or Oolite problems to report - I hope!JazHaz wrote:I've also noticed that the Oolite BBS is very quiet atm.
If you have an Intel Mac I believe you can join the dark side and install Windows on another partition.Ramirez wrote:Well I see that the equivalent of Your Ad Here has made the concept sketches. I've pledged long ago, even though I'm not 100% sure my Mac can take it, but I figure this is a game that has to be made!
So even if there isn't a Mac version of E:D you could still play... However even if they don't make the stretch goal, I'm sure there will be a Mac version eventually....Thanks to Gimi, I got an eBook in my inbox tonight (31st May 2014 - Release of Elite Reclamation)!Gimi wrote:Maybe you could start a Kickstarter Campaign to found your £4500 pledge.drew wrote:£4,500 though!

David commented on the Reddit "ask a question" thingy that the stretch goal would set a release date for a Mac version, but that they would get around to it and other platforms later on even if that stretch goal isn't reached.Cmdr James wrote:Just for the record it currently looks unlikely that there will be a mac version in the short term.

Permalink: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1 ... of/c7ocgjuThat is a really tricky one. We held off offering it as a stretch goal for a while, but I understand your concern. One of the things that tipped us towards offering it is that in the meantime most Mac users could dual-boot their machines.
We intend to support Macintosh with time, but the stretch goal gives a timetable for it, so even if we miss the stretch goal, I would like to do it. Same applies for other platforms too.
If we offer Macintosh on day one, we then have to bring both platforms to release at the same time, which creates a bit of a log-jam.
I know it is not ideal, but it is not a bad solution (in my opinion).
Well it's a busy time of year for many of us with families. As for quiet, you should see the chatroom - you can hear a pin drop in there! Totally off-topic for this thread (sorry!), but DS's is still open and some of us old regulars are still hanging out there, so come visit!JazHaz wrote:I've also noticed that the Oolite BBS is very quiet atm. Is everyone beering it up or something?
Better move with this rather quickly after the Kickstarter - there was just talk about and Elite RPG on the Comments section today, so other people may have similar ideas.Selezen wrote:Well, I have pitched the RPG idea to Michael through the Kickstarter site. I have pitched it as a similar idea to the writer's pledge but outside the kickstarter. Michael has graciously offered to discuss it after the kickstarter drive has finished, and I am confident it's a genuine offer.
I should have said, I've got an XP dual boot on my mac for heavy duty gaming anyway so unless I have to get hold of Windows 8 or really ramp up the graphics processing power I'll be content with a PC version. Not trying to do both platforms at once is perfectly sensible.Wolfwood wrote:David commented on the Reddit "ask a question" thingy that the stretch goal would set a release date for a Mac version, but that they would get around to it and other platforms later on even if that stretch goal isn't reached.

If I have counted correctly, there is a potential for two false writer's pack pledges. Hope that is not the case...Wolfwood wrote:They had to add more writer's packs when they started getting taken while kickstarters to make books were still running. I suspect a few of them are taken by hoaxers who will pull the pledges at the last moment. Cannot think of any other reason why they have not identified themselves...
