Default Re: Dominions 2 preorder?

Actually, I could port Trader 2 to the MAC OS X and System OS'es fairly easily (though a little rewriting might be necessary, but it doesn't use DirectX or any Windows exclusive stuff), but I have to ask myself: would there be enough interest to warrant the extra work? I wasn't too sure, which is why I didn't do it to begin with.

I know this thread has aged abit but it seemed like a good time to put in an observation. We seem to have a fair number of non-windows Users in the Dominions2 forum. Im not sure if their numbers alone would make it worthwhile.

There would be an advantage of getting more conversation about your titles if its ported to machines where there are so few games available. Mentions in non-OS specific forums might lead to sales in the Windows area.

Mostly, what I feel is that for any game which has a host mode I think that a linux Version makes it easier to develop a web front-end game-server. But I might be biased in that.

-- Of course its possible. Its a computer. Impossible is just a technicians term which translates as "I could do it but its probably not worth the time and effort it would take"
