  1. Unless it's released early, or at least in the first week of April, it'll be four months. Regular mac users probably know exactly how this guy feels. Originally Posted By: Randomizer Some bugs are specific to the port where the operating system handles things differently than in the original Mac port. Just recompiling the Mac version to use the most recent development tools can produces strange bugs. When Avernum 6 was recompiled to sell in the Mac App Store several monsters suddenly were colored green. Also Jeff makes changes to the game balance to deal with customer complaints that some fights are too hard. A small typographic error in a script for a monster can produce a bug that makes a fatal error where the fight can never end. During beta testing a part of the game that worked fine when it was originally tested can suddenly develop a bug from a change so you can't get experience for a quest. So three months of testing helps to make sure no new bugs have crept into the game. I dont know man, I have a hard time believing bugs and balancing could account for that much time on a port unless things really fell to pieces. I'm not exactly hurting or anything, I'm sure it's coming, but a little more information would be nice. April is also Q2, if that hasnt already been pointed out. e; It's possible I'm just comparing it too closely to Avadon, but I can't think of a Spiderweb game that wasnt ported mac -> pc, and this is a remake! Shouldnt it be faster, if anything?
