Y'know, I just noticed something:

JFail Games wrote:We're making it with XNA, so it'll be on Xbox 360 and Windows, and then ported to Mac.

That's a quote taken from their site. Please correct me if I'm mistaken (I've done some googling), but there is no XNA running on Mac. JForce has also posted that their programmer is "taking classes to learn C++."

Rewriting an entire engine that was written in XNA with something like C++ sounds a little ambitious for a fledgling programmer...

I would like to announce that I am taking the route of JForce games and having my little brother film me making my game, while making statements that have nothing to do with anything, such as the fact that Gyrovorbis our enemy and we have no reason to feud with him... Oh and our game is going to make so much money that I will be able to live off of the income of this unnamed game!!!!!!!!! Wow do I sound like a newb now????? I can go further if not...

It's a little scary because you've summed up a lot JForce's statements and you do sound like a newb. So, I guess one could say that eatcomics here has a point.
Or maybe it's just all in the phrasing...? Trying to give JForce the benefit of the doubt here.

Personally I wish I HAD subscribed to them, then it would've been one more subscription that I could take away from them.

XNA runs on the .NET Framework, which doesn't run on a Mac. So yeah, I'd be interested to hear how they are planning that Mac port.

That is amazing!

seriously, if they think they can get the source for a program written in a MICROSOFT PROPRIETRY LANGUAGE, built ontop of a Microsoft proprietry framework onto another proprietry operating system (and expect them to have an equivalent XNA framework...which they dont), they must be insane!

If we were talking about an application written in C++ with a multimedia library like SDL, then it would be possible, but that is near impossible, they would have to basically reprogram the entire thing because C# doesn't nor does XNA work on a mac, unless you ran an emulator, but even then it isnt a true 'port'

Those guys don't have a clue at all if what you say is true...

Well they could get most of the engine to run on mac using mono(http://mono-project.com/) and it looks like it will run XNA soon-ish.

Jesus Christ, I've never seen a group of compressed filetypes dish out so much owning: http://jforcegames.com/blog/index.php?itemid=40

Whoever is thinking of those names is hilarious. That's clevar.

You realize that porting it to Mac WITHOUT XNA would require more work than it did to make the game in the first place? Do you guys actually know anything about programming or are you just talking out of your asses (which I'm surprised you can still do, considering all of the dick you probably have crammed up there).

He has a point. I wonder who that is?

"And I plan to outsource the port."

They are gonna outsource the port.

. . . Yeah, I'm thinking that I'll outsource our stuff too.

PETER AND MARCEL, I WANT YOU TO PORT OUR ENGINE TO PLAYSTATION 2 AND VIRTUAL BOY. I WILL PAY YOU BOTH ENOUGH LUNCH MONEY TO COVER TWO WEEKS.

--kthx, have a nice day.

lol...need i say more(probably)

seriously, they have a concept artist....wtf is up with that?

They're being a wee bit naive, are they not?

Concept artists can be beneficial if your project is large enough...
