[url=http://www.ccpgames.com/]CCP Games[/url], die Entwickler von EVE Online, geben [url=http://www.transgaming.com/news/?id=60]weitere Details[/url] bekannt:

"Reykjavk Iceland, Toronto, Canada - September 11, 2007 - CCP Games, one of the worlds largest independent game developers, today announced a partnership with TransGaming Inc. (TSX-V: TNG) , a leading developer of software portability products for the electronic entertainment industry. The strategic relationship will enable CCP to deliver its popular massively multiplayer online game (MMOG), EVE Online, with Linux and Macintosh platforms later this year.

TransGaming provides technology and expertise to deploy games across a range of platforms without the need for redevelopment and still maintaining the high quality of gameplay and allowing users of different platforms to play in the same perpetual online universe. As a result of this partnership, CCP will be able to expand the reach of its Sci-fi MMOG to new groups around the world.

As an element of the partnership, EVE Online and TransGaming will share quality assurance as well as technical support responsibilities but TransGaming will lead partnership and OEM opportunities for the Linux version of EVE Online. The two companies will work hand-in-hand to ensure all releases go smoothly, creating a transparent integration of the original EVE Online code with each platform.

TransGaming first introduced Linux users to EVE Online through Cedega, a software product that allows Windows games to run on the Linux operating system completely transparently and seamlessly. It was the popularity of this solution that indicated the strong demand for further integration between CCP Games and TransGaming. Later this year, EVE Online will be released for Linux with Cedega directly integrated into the game and on Mac through TransGamings Cider portability engine."

Der Client wird also noch dieses Jahr, basierend auch auf der Cedega Technologie, veröffentlicht.
Hoffen wir mal das die Performance darunter nicht (allzu sehr) leiden wird.
