Comment Rift IS cross-platform, VO will get there. (Score 5, Informative) 48

I'm not sure how this became confused, but as I wrote on our newspost page: the Oculus Rift itself does support Mac and Linux, we just haven't had a chance to roll out the support on those platforms yet. To elaborate, Windows was the initial testing target, internally, and we made a number of Rift-specific changes to our DirectX renderer during the process. It'll take us some time to back-port these changes over to our OpenGL renderer, along with some of the other auto-detection features and things we've implemented. Linux and Mac will be supported.

Submission + - Linux and Android MMO launches Kickstarter to support gameplay expansion. (kickstarter.com)

Incarnate-VO writes: "Long running space-MMO Vendetta Online, which debuted with Linux support back in 2002, has launched a Kickstarter campaign to support a major gameplay expansion, including player-owned stations, capships, and territorial conquest. If the Kickstarter succeeds, an upcoming iPad version could also gain some added polish, joining the existing mobile support for Android. (The Kickstarter video is also available on YouTube in HD)."

Woops, I missed the rest of his post :).

And no, we have no plans for an Amiga port, heheh (although, odd fact, there was actually a native BeOS client at one point, back in the R4/4.5 era. It was also built on Irix at a few points in the late 90s). We currently maintain about as many ports as we can sanely manage.

Submission + - Vendetta Online lets users create new game content (vendetta-online.com)

Incarnate-VO writes: "Multi-platform space MMO Vendetta Online is now allowing users to create missions and submit other content for use in the game, via their new "Player Contribution Corps" system. Any game subscriber can join the PCC and gain access to a web-based mission editor, permitting them to build and test new missions on Vendetta's test-server. Once the player believes the mission is ready for prime-time, they submit it to the greater PCC community for testing and feedback. The community may then sign off on the mission and push it up to the developer staff for final oversight and propagation into the game. More details available in the press release. Vendetta Online is available for Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64."

We all like praise, but a hike in our pay is the best kind of ways.
