Mac Summoner Progress Report
10:21 AM | IMG News | Comment on this story
Ever since this 3D RPG went "gold" for PC we have been anticipating the Mac version of this title, which is being ported in-house by developer Volition. This complex, console-style RPG has undergone a revolution in interface and features during its transition from the PlayStation 2 console to the Mac and PC platforms, and now includes co-op network play and high-resolution textures as well as support for various monitor resolutions.
As the game is now based on OpenGL and a Mac OS version was in the plans from the beginning, the port is moving along quickly. Here is an update from lead programmer Mark Allender:
Basically, it boils down to tweaking the sound code, networking code, and
the graphics.
I'm working on the final networking details right now-- basically hooking in
support for THQMultiplay.net. Once that is done, I'll be moving on to
tweaking the GL pipeline and polishing off Macintosh-specific bugs.
If all goes well this project should be complete in the next few weeks, and then it will be handed off to GraphSim for publishing.
