When will this be released for the mac?

[icefire D]

I have a Mac and I really want this game. If someone knows how to convert an exe file to an app, that would be great. I'm really anticipating the Mac release, but when?

The next update or soon after that if i'm not mistaken. Work on it is in progress, but there are more windows users than mac, so it's understandable that only windows was/is supported.

[Arnstein]

No, I think that it will definitely NOT be included in the next update. Last time I checked it seemed that it's quite some time before mac release is coming out, unfortunately Just hang in there, it's worth the wait

It will. Dan said so.

yeah here

We're going to release a free update for everyone who's already bought with better graphics, collisions, and stability (and also a Mac version) sometime in 2012.

[Arnstein]

Ah, ok, but that's still quite some time till. I thought you meant if there's a small bug fix or something like that in a few weeks etc.

[Dan Dixon]

We are in the process of a full rewrite of Universe Sandbox in a new engine that will let us deliver new and simultaneous Windows and Mac versions.

We're on track to release the new update and Mac version later this year (2012).

Improved graphics, better stability, improved user interface, better collisions...

[smjjames]

Whoo, so US 3 I guess? and no ETA?

I'd understand if you don't want to get stuck with a deadline though just by doing an ETA.

Also, pics of the new collision system would be cool.

[FiahOwl]

What's ETA?

Estimated Time of Arrival, it's used for both shipping and game release dates.

[Dan Dixon]

Yeah... no release date yet. Writing software is complicated and hard to predict. In fact, we don't know ourselves. The only date I'm comfortable announcing at this point is sometime this year.
