Yeah it's strange because I know some Mac users, and Linux users personnally who would love to play more games but are either hardcore Bill Gates Windows haters (linux guys) or like their Mac's too much to get a PC.

Yet there are only a few engines that I know of that support Linux, and Macs.

The only free one I know of for non-commercial use is Antyriad GX. Which will port to just about anything including PSP in their next release.
They have several packages if you want to go commercial, and Pyro the main guy over there seems pretty keen on getting more commercial games made with the software. So he would probably cut a small indie team a sweet deal on a commercial liscense.

Nicest thing is you don't have to recompile or anything like that to swap between PC, Mac, and Linux. On top of that it uses non-bsp based geometry so you can build texture, and export levels straight from either 3DS Max or Blender into the engine.

I have played with it a little bit so far, and it's very nice. However although it uses it's own easy to use language RF is just faster for me to develope with. Likely after I have a year or two of use of Antyriad GX under my belt I will be comfortable enough with it to go into a serious project with it.

Unless by that time RF2 is ready for us indies to use.

It's a huge download though, an their forums aren't very active.

another alternative is irrlicht, i dont know the status of the mac port, but a while back i saw someone on the forums who was getting it to work on mac... you might check the status of that... http://www.irrlicht-engine.com the nice thing about it is it's completely and totally free.

One question on irrlicht, Do you need to programme it to make it work or can you use it w/o programming??

Post by **AndyCR** » Wed Oct 05, 2005 10:56 pm

theres alot of programming involved, most of the time in c++ although there are langhuage ports available for other ones such as java. it is rather simple as far as programming engines go, though.
