Mac / iPad version updates

[LandMarine47]

I bet CTGW is putting up quite the fight..... Hopefully the beta comes before the end of November!

[lordzimoa]

We are working hard to get patch 1.4 into Open Beta, while this can be tested we will finish the Mac and iPad ports, so on release all, PC, Mac and iPad are using version 1.4.

I wonder how Vetrans Day and or Remembrance Day went with the developers! Hopefully they made a break through

Hello!
Sorry for the bad frenglish I write...
I have a simple question: is CTGW available for iMac?
and, if the answer is "yes", as I purchased the PC version, would I have to pay a second time for iMac version?

thank you for your possible answers ^^

CTGW is in development for Mac, not ready yet.

Apple does not allow any other cross-platform deals sadly, so hard to tell at this point.

[LandMarine47]

With Panzer Corps out of the way perhaps CTGW will enter beta "soon"?

Yes

[LandMarine47]

Any new news for Valentines Day? Are we getting closer to the beta?

[scarfacetarraff]

Any news on these versions?

[lordzimoa]

Expect more new in the next 2 weeks

[scarfacetarraff]

Expect more new in the next 2 weeks

Good to hear! Looking forward to playing this game.

We estimate that we need around 6 weeks more of pure code porting to finish the iPad port and 2 weeks for the Mac... plan is to go into parallel Beta pretty soon after that, depending on stability a 6 weeks of technical testing. Than we rebuild and update the Windows version and release all platforms and PC update in one go... have all out well before X-mas.

If of course we don`t run into big technical issues... and if we do, the game will be lost as I will have shot and hanged the whole Technical Division.

This message was from July 26; 2013....

Since two monthes I was patient because another game ''Last Front'' should have been released....but that one too, seems delay for a while.

Any update about the release should be appreciate.

Thank you,

K.

Is a Mac port of the game still in progress?

Thanks,

[Blitz1945]

I was wondering that myself.

[lordzimoa]

A Mac version, possibly... technically it is no problem, will depend a bit on if time and resources are made available or not and if it is economically worth it.
