As HOMMV stuffs the greedy, hungry maws of PC gamers everywhere, Mac users are still out in the rain with their noses pressed up against the glass begging for scraps. But since the PC code has gone gold, Freeverse Software has made some progress on the port that will hopefully transform we Mac beggars into kings (or heroes). VP Colin Lynch Smith recently revealed to yours truly that:

We now have the GM Source and have started work. It won't be an easy port, it's looking like there are a few complicated issues, (most of which go over my head since I'm not a coder), but we'll get it done! No time estimate yet it's still too early in the process.

He also mentioned that "Fabrice has been very pleasant and accommodating to work with." Hopefully this positive relationship foreshadows good things as far as Mac uers getting the map editor and other updates rolled into their commercial release.

In the mean time, check out HOMMV for OSX later in the week for traitorous gameplay and performance impressions playing HOMMV on Intel-based Apple hardware running WinXP.
