| 12-22-06 / 09:55 PM : Id Software : Quake, Doom1&2 made on NeXT (cjed) |
 On John Romero's blog, famous funder of Id Software, we learn that they developed the first Quake, Doom and Doom II on NeXTSTEP stations (John Carmack was also a great fan at this time) ! They also convinced Raven Software (developers of Heretic) to work on this platform. Another proof that only less aware of computing concepts and poor minded games developers are Windows centric...
If you didn't know, Improve (my company) started in early nineties selling NeXT softwares in France, and then developed an innovative distributed software suite for Health services (urgency), ResUrgences, made with the great WebObjects tool from NeXT(now Apple's since Steve Jobs came back at Apple and decided to buy his second company). |

| 12-06-06 / 09:55 PM : WoW : multithread update on OSX - 2X faster (cjed) |
| Blizzard made available an update to WoW for intel macs that uses the new multithreaded OpenGL feature of OSX 10.4.8, and would double the framerate. Considering the same machine, all games should then soon be far more faster on OSX than on Windows. That is here, but we have to wait for their "gnomish engineers" :) to fix the load problem before accessing the file. |
