The features discussed here may be implemented in future issues and are subject to change before release.
Overview
City of Heroes for Mac OS X was made possible using TransGaming's Cider Portability Engine, which acts as a "wrapper" around the game software, enabling it to run seamlessly on Intel-based Macs.
TransGaming, Inc., is a leader in the development of unique software portability products that facilitate the deployment of games across multiple platforms. TransGaming's portability technologies significantly reduce the time-to-market for and costs associated with multi-platform game releases.
November 7, 2008, saw the beginning of the Mac Client's closed beta testing. [1]
What do we know?
- The client will be available at no extra cost (as a download) for anyone that has an active CoH Account. [2]
- Those who use the Mac Client will connect to the same servers as those connecting with the PC Client. [3]
- It is not actually a full client written natively for the Mac; it is a "wrapper" program like Wine and CrossOver, but more specialized.
- Purchasing the Mac Special Edition or the Goodie Pack (available separately in early 2009) will unlock special items: [4]
What don't we know?
- Everything else.
