...much like 3DRealms did with DNF.

That would be Did Not Finish right But wait... there is actually activity... until I found the website, I thought it was dead.

Oh soooo many years

Well, for 3D Realms, it does mean Did Not Finish- as officially, they didn't finish the game, another studio directly affiliated with the publisher is doing that as part of a sealed settlement deal with 3DRealms. They didn't lose Duke fully, but I think they lost the deal with DNF at least partly.

So any updated news on this.

I know it is expected in Q4 so more than likely nearer Xmas than now but it must getting polished for release.

Some actual game footage would be <3, ie a vid of a dev vs dev maybe even shoutcasted by some other dev explaining whats going on

It looks really great. Now we can see more enviorments than ice, and that smoke from the flames on the surface of the waters is really good.

Will the Unigine engine work on Xbox 360 and Mac soon too? I think for commercial games Xbox 360 support is really important.

We have some formal issues with Xbox360 since we still don't have a license for developing middleware for it. However, we are working on that.

Mac isn't a priority platform for us now.

Looks very cool!
Will there be a beta?
Will the game have a build-in multiplayer system like battle.net?

Can you tell us a little about the SDK, what language do I need to know, can I make a complete total conversation mod?

Not my preferred platform, but sound business sense indeed.

Heh... I'm sure Jobs is thrilled to hear that.

It should be more of a matter of getting it to properly build in their build tools- it's similar to Linux as far as many of the middleware APIs that you'd use.
