According to this "tweet" the latest update of this game, Interstellar Marines, now in beta, contains; "Mac OS support, anti-aliasing, better browser support etc.!"

Here's a video; Interstellar Marines: The Vault Unlocked.

Did I miss something? Has IMG done a story on this game? ...looks pretty buh-d@ss and is developed using Unity.

When there's a multiplayer version, I'm going to be on Frost's team. Well, except he doesn't seem to actually need a team...I mean, what's the point? "Hey look, it's Frost and His Merry Gang of Useless Hangers-On!" Or something.

I've already heard about this some while ago, including the Unity thing. Good to know they now officially announced the Mac version. :D

Wow, you think THAT is something, wait till you get a load of the Magical Flying Pink Pony Game. Better hope your eyes are screwed in tight. It was the work of one man too, no minions were involved.

Because I have no minions, dammit. Mostly the limitations of Unity are those of your skill/budget...put in some tens of millions of dollars, and you'd get an AAA game out of it. Generally people who buy Unity don't have that kind of budget though. (I do, of course, but I'm using it to fund my secret plan to take over the world, so I can't spare any for stupid pathetic videogames. Um, oops, what happened there?)

Speaking of Unity, seems it's now free. The Indie version anyway.

Holy popsnizzle! Guess I don't have an excuse to not experiment with it now. Thanks for the heads-up.

Oi. Stumbled over Interstellar Marine's training simulation program (Bullseye) just now when I was skimming Gametrailers.com, so I hopped right on over to their site. Courtesy of Unity's web-browser gaming abilities. It's pretty fun actually. I like the dynamically changing walls.

Who knows for how long the actual game will still be in development, but this is still a fun little free diversion. I'm still perplexed why there are not more Unity projects out there, especially seeing how scalable the engine is, not requiring everyone to have a high-end system. Not to mention how versatile the actual engine can be at a much smaller price than most other game engines. Anyway, I digress...

Check it out on their homepage. ;)
