The programmer in charge of porting Unreal Tournament 2003 to the Mac, Epic's Ryan Gordon, has declared in his .plan update that the game has gone gold (the .plan update was posted on June 5th): "Mac version is gold, ships on June 11th." We expect an official announcement from the publisher, MacSoft, shortly.

In other news, Gordon also provides updates on various other projects he is currently working on.

On Duke Nukem 3D: "MacOS X port is coming along. One or two nasty rendering glitches, and some byteswapping issues (networking, savegames...that's all?) to go, still."

On the Mac OS X port of the original Unreal Tournament: "Managed to get the game to limp along on MacOS X before crashing. Some rendering glitches aside, I could watch the whole intro and tell what was happening. No sound yet. So much more to do on this yet. It'll be awhile."

And finally, Gordon provides an update on the Mac version of America's Army: "Sent beta2 for the Mac (with all the ut2003 Gold Master fixes) to some testers. Progress is being made."
