Hi,

I am maintaining a project around an old 3D game named Descent and have created a WinXP specific version containing a lot of bug fixes and new features.

Take a look here to learn more.

A Mac port for this game exists, but is based on an older code version, lacking a lot of features of my version. The Mac version still has several hundred and maybe even over a thousand users, judging by the download count of the latest version.

As I neither own a Mac, nor know how to program on it, I am looking for someone who'd be willing to take a look into the source code and port it to Mac OS X. I'd gladly help where ever needed.

Regards

Cool. I work for Volition Inc., which is a game development company created by one of the co-founders of Parallax, which is the company that created Descent.


....but, I don't know how to port code.

Good luck though, and if you get it ported, I could help you get it hosted at least one popular Mac mod host.

I know who Volition Inc. is ...

Couldn't you ask one of your colleagues there if they would like to port D2X-W32?
