Chittering Clawbug Shine123 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Sooooo, any idea when us not-Macs can play, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Soon. I'd guess this month or next month, but it's a complete guess. It all depends on how difficult porting is and how many disasters are encountered during beta testing. —Alorael, who will resist the urge to mace a comment that could be reasonably turned into the acronym GAM even though it traditionally appears as a single word, often in boldface.

Magnificent Ornk Donald Hebb Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 I feel that JV should make the windows version ASAP. It's not fair that only us Mac-users should have to endure such a horrible pile of dreck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnificent Ornk Kelandon Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Jeff has said that the split is about 60-40 in favor of Windows. So the majority of his customers are Windows-users, but not by a lot. He just likes programming for Mac better, so he does that first.

Well-Actually War Trall Spidweb Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 "Now that PPP data is at our fingertips, we could divide up all the threads and try to establish once and for all which FAQ is the most frequently asked." That's a good one. And I think you're right. I have long ago lost count of how many people have requested an online/multiplayer version of my games. My answer: I'm not really interested in doing it. It would be an ENORMOUS undertaking. And I don't have the technical skill, coding-wise. And to answer the first question, barring flu, hospital visit, premature birth of my daughter, or untimely death, Avernum 4 for Windows should be out at the very beginning of March. - Jeff Vogel Ircher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgeoning Battle Gamma JP Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I began with Exile 2 too. It's still my favorite spiderweb game, especialy for its plot, even if I love the many options in character's developpement Avernum brought us.

Also, there are nearly 2500 members who never posted. And iirc, I once calculated how many top posters share how many posts, and I think it was the top 5% sharing 95% of all posts or something.

Unflappable Drayk The Loquacious Lord Grimm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Simply posting every day, Dikiyoba? I have been a member of these forums for 39 days at this point, and average a little more than 1.25 posts per day. By my count, you have been on these forums 24 days longer than I have, and you have about nine times as many posts as I do. Cheating, no. But one must admit, it is a little... interesting...
