Wingnuts 2, an original Mac game, takes off

Neat looking game! I've always loved this genre.

But oh man, that's BRUTAL music (from what I gather from the video). A shot at Top Gun, I'm guessing? Yikes.

Hi guys,

I'm one of the developers. To those of you who can't get the game to start. Would you mind emailing me? bruce@freeverse.com

I'm sure this is something simple, just nothing we've seen in 2 years of development.

I wish I still had a Mac so I could try this out. Wingnuts was pretty fun, and this one looks really nice.

Actually Matt, it's generally true about system requirements. Destineer claimed that Close Combat: First To Fight (a first person shooter with nice graphics) had lower Mac system requirements as it was developed to be cross platform from the start, and optimised for the Mac, again, from the start.

It looks ok, I'll probably downlaod the demo, but saying that because it's written especially for OS X means it can have lower spec reqs, is a bit lame.

The reason it requires lower specs is because it's just a SWIV copy, if it were a FPS like Half Life 2 et al, it would still require beefy specs.

Just played through the demo, and I have to say that this game rocks. I'm usually not a fan of top down shooters, but this one is very entertaining. I usually get bored with these types of games but this one kept me interested all throughout, I will consider buying it.

Works fine on my Powerbook, it won't let me drag the game out of the disc image though. :/

So essentially this game uses coreImage instead of pixel shaders?

I've got the same problem Logan. Not sure what it is but it is rather frustrating.

People were posting similar problems on the macworld news post yesterday. Not just Pbook G4's either =/

The demo is not working on my PowerBook G4, just sits there not responding at 100% CPU. Any ideas?
