Some of you might heard about "Interstellar Marines", an FPS currently in development by the independent studio Zero Point Software. While the game is probably still some time away (and has been worked on quite a while), it already looks pretty interesting.

Now guess which engine they are using.

It's not really new; it's been around for 4+ years.

Their website only mentions PC, but the use of Unity would make a cross platform release at least very likely.

I've been stoked for ISM ever since I first heard about it a few years ago. Here's hoping they're still able to finish and deliver the awesome future/tactical experience they were talking about way back when.

I listened to the Gamespot UK podcast after watching the original trailer and the most recent released video, and the game and the project itself sound very ambitious. It's just a matter of whether they can actually pull off everything they plan on featuring in the game. It certainly would be nice if they were considering releasing a Mac version, seeing as it would be kind of dumb not to considering how painless that ought to be with Unity.

Being built using Unity so one assumes cross-platform out of the gate. I can't see why not. One click to build for OSX, one click to build for Windows, assuming they have the pro license.

It's the same thing even if they have the indie license.
