I mean, I knew it in my heart of hearts. But I had that tiny flicker of hope that since the app is not particularly demanding on hardware, perhaps the developers would choose an engine like, say, Unity, or code in Delphi, where you can code once and compile to multiple platforms.

Alas, just Windows.

I had a version for Commodore 64 way back when. I might have to check this out.

Yeah, me too. From Origin. With a real dosimeter badge included!

I remember that!

Good old Origin

This would be the only version of Ogre I don't already own: computerized!

Thanks for the heads up.

I was surprised by the quad-core processor requirement. Guess I'll have to upgrade my computer….

I'd not point the finger at the developer on this one; Their other Steam titles hit all three Steam platforms. There may very well be licensing considerations we're not party to as externals. Just because you can deliver on a platform doesn't mean your contractual obligations let you.

I have largely succeeded in avoiding that time-sinking vice.

So that it will not detract from my miniature-painting time!
