Now with the choose your own price promotion, I bought another copy ($5 or $25 total). Playing with a mouse instead of the WiiRemote changes the game for the better. Great game, thanks for the port to Linux.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-4182288076523011862009-07-08T01:11:39.323-05:002009-07-08T01:11:39.323-05:00I am getting ready to put out an interview with th...I am getting ready to put out an interview with them now...should hit the blog next week.<br /><br />hAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978117986484281976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-6992809131191319172009-07-07T21:15:42.240-05:002009-07-07T21:15:42.240-05:00I sure hope the Frictional guys will do an intervi...I sure hope the Frictional guys will do an interview with you, Ken.

The Mac and Linux versions on the other hand use OpenGL, the Wii version can likely be included here too. I think the guy who did the Mac port also rewrote the renderer.<BR/><BR/>It would be interesting to delve into how portable the original code was and how much the ports to the other 3 platforms leant on each other. I wonder if this is something 2dBoy would be up for?hotblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537234501934686808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33801994.post-48392671780561884452009-02-14T13:02:00.000-06:002009-02-14T13:02:00.000-06:00Hey guys and gurlz, I am stuck working and many of...Hey guys and gurlz, <BR/><BR/>I am stuck working and many of you have free licensed copies of WOG coming to you for blogging about it.
