Title: If I purchase
Post by: neen on January 19, 2008, 08:34:26 am

If I purchase the game for Windows, will I be able to use my license for the Mac version once it's out?

Alas, no. Because the Mac-version gets distributed by Ambrosia and not by Bit Blot itself. :-/

I think I'll cray.  This has got to be one of the best games I have ever played.  I'm talking up there with Assassin's Creed, Ocarina of Time, Ecco teh Dolphin, etc.

Btw, did you guys get any inspiration from Ecco?

Alec once said that he never played it. Inspirations came mostly from Metroid, Zelda and Castlevania series of games (Derek) and Final Fantasy 6 and Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (Alec) and from their own development.

Heh, wow.  Legacy of Kain eh?  I've played those games :P

I have to say that this game is awesome! I just wish I could purchase a Win copy and then get the Mac version free :(

I have to play the demo in Parallels, and I get lag at some places cause I can only dedicate 64 Mb of video ram to the Windows install... oh well.

I'll just have to wait for the full game to come out for Mac I guess. :D  Worth the wait  8)
