Creation Games has released Sisters of the Blade, which Blambi at MythVillage dubbed scantily clad chicks running around killing stuff.
And, as was noted before, this marks the end of Creation Games. Farewell.
According to this item by Blambi over at MythVillage, EGArentz, a Mac Myth III beta tester for MacSoft, has posted a message in the forum over at IMG, suggesting that the Mac version of the game has benefited from many changes since the first PC version, and that the game really
Nate Birkholz has posted the remaining bugs in the Mac version of Myth III in the Myth Village forum:
Two A-level bugs:Command-Tabbing to switch from the application causes a crash in OS X.1, and Contraband is fixing this. (We may have to disable Command-Tabbing for the release and try to patch later if possible.)
Kudos to Rabbit who pointed out that IMG has interviewed Bungie's Alex Seropian. Seropian discusses the significance of the Oni team's involvement as well as Bungie's transition to console games. Of course, IMG had to inquire about Halo for the Mac:
ax informed us on RampancyHL that Nate Birkholz has announced that Myth III for the Mac won't be here in time for Christmas. Many people are disappointed by this and I am, too, but at the same time I am very comforted that MacSoft is taking its time in making a solid version of the game.
Battleground: Halo spotted an interesting tidbit in the latest issue of PC Zone:
Our guess is that Halo for the PC will be out next autumn, probably to coincide with the announcement of Halo 2, which is already being worked on and a cert to arrive on Xbox first yet again.
Before you get all excited, this statement has no credibility. Don't believe it simply because it's in a printed magazine; they're very often wrong.
MacCentral has posted a mini-preview of Myth III that mostly constitutes quotes from Nate Birkholz. Here's a segment from the preview:
Yesterday, Driver8 registered as a user on Rampancy.net, leading us to his website, where lives his Myth Chat Extractor program:
Brad Cook of Apple has previewed Myth III on Apple's gaming website. They were able to snag a bunch of quotes from Mumbo Jumbo developers, including Scott Campbell and Mike Donges.
Kudos to Total Codex of the Ministry of Security for spotting a post by Nate Birkholz in the MWA forum that further details the release of the Mac version of Myth III. Birkholz writes:
Nate Birkholz of MacSoft has posted a couple of status updates in the Myth Village forum. The first is in response to Webscreamer's post, but for some reason Webscreamer has deleted his own post. Fortunately Birkholz's is still available.
Posted on November 30, the first update reads:
Nate Birkholz has posted the Mac Myth III system requirements in the Myth Village forum. They read:
Spanish Mac enthusiast site Macuarium has done a short interview with Peter Tamte, ex-Apple, ex-Bungie, ex-Macsoft and currently of Destineer, the company destined to bring Microsoft's games to the Mac (perhaps Halo, perhaps not).
The first thing he tells us is that the Mac is alive and well at Bungie:
Blambi of Myth Village has posted a link to Outpost for the Mac version of Myth III for the price of $29.95. That's probably the best deal we will see for the game until its popularity dies down a bit.
