Godus getting Mac version

I wonder if this Kickstarter project will be successful. I neither hope that it fails, nor hope that it doesn't, it just seems like they've got a way to go and not much time left.

Good news for Mac user like me! 

Show the prototype, then we can know how disappointing the actual game will be

for some reason i want this game to reach it's kickstarter because this is a game molyneux can make it good and he can make it REALY GOOD! but i will not pledge because i don't have a gaming PC, i don't have a mac, i don't have a IOS and i don't have an android... but if i would, i would pledge about 30 pounds for it with no regret

Sounds like a good thing for the handful of Apple users that use their machine for gaming.

I don't know for sure, but I think they're using the Unity3D engine, so multiplatform (Windows, Web, iOS, Android, Linux) is, if they pay attention to platform specific development requirements basically a push-button-release, including Linux with the newest Unity3D 4.0 release.

If they're using a custom game engine of their own, does it justify the expense of developing for more than 1 platform ? (and all the additional troubleshooting and bugfixing involved)

Especially when Apple users could just install Windows alongside their Apple OS and use the one for gaming, the other for work.

What are they going to do when they don't meet their funding ?

Take all the already written source code, art assets, etc. and just delete them ?

No, that wouldn't make sense, they'll keep developing it and would actually have a reason to listen to feedback and implement what their potential customers actually want from the game.

That's why I don't give this man any money upfront - If the finished product is actually worth it I'm happy to pay for it, but his past record when it comes to games is a frightening one and seeing this game also being released on tablets and smartphones all my alarm bells are ringing of it being a simplified, dumbed down, accessible mess.

In the meantime, I'll keep an eye out for their planned prototype to get a glimpse of what this game is about, but still - post release will show if it's milked to death with DLC or if it will be a feature complete release with modding capabilities and longevity.

agreed on bad timing...

that & having no prototype...

they might want to come back to Kickstarter sometime during March, when it would be a better time for them to launch one...

they would probably get more funding if they relaunched a Kickstarter then, with a prototype to show the public...

Bad timing  on the kickstarter. I would have kicked in some money if I had any. Its just too close to Christmas and Im tapped. Im sure alot of people are in the same position.

I'll be really upset if this game doesn't reach its goal.  You can tell that Molyneux himself is really into this one, and the videos also become sadder and sadder to see him with each passing day, the numbers not going as high as he'd like.  He's been very somber recently.  I wish they would have set their sights a little bit lower and tried to find more investors outside of Kickstarter because I want this to get made.

Populous on SNES was a piece of cake! Just build your land up WAY above sea level and then mass spam Floods till the other side died .. Simple as can be .. and worked on EVERY level in that game.

I actually liked Populous, so I can see myself playing this for Windows.'

Hell, if it does well, I can see it possibly being ported to consoles and appearing on PSN, XBLA, Wii U Eshop, or maybe even at retail for consoles.

doesnt look like its gonna make it to 450,000

I game on my Mac, but I just often just get the windows version and play it via bootcamp.  Anyway, I would never give money to this guy. 

Never will understand why companies waste development time and money on a mac based port when they're only 12% of the personal computer population and how many of those morons are gamers?
