Hi Kurt, thanks for spreading the word!

I have heard from quite a lot of people wanting a Mac version, so I don't have any doubt that there is a demand for it. It would actually be a really nice fit as well since MoI's UI would just fit in well on a Mac.

If it was easy for me to produce a Mac version I would certainly do it!

Unfortunately it is very much the opposite of that, it would involve a huge amount of work, maybe something like a year of working full time just on that alone. It will take quite a while before I will be able to gather up that much time.

One thing that may happen sooner than that is if I can overhaul just the display system to work using OpenGL as an option instead of only Direct3D. That would enable it to run on the Mac using an emulation system like Parallels, so that might be a pretty good thing for me to shoot for. It's still a fair amount of work to do that, but much less compared to a full port.
