MojoPatch:
Now open source! http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=2040
Shrek 2:
Aspyr has me working on the Mac port of this. It's almost done. Like,
"whoops, minor graphic glitch, can't be the gold master!" style done.
Definitely an interesting change to work on a game with no blood in it.
OpenAL:
Interesting note about Apple at http://openal.org/ ... the latest openal.org
CVS has 5.1 support on OSX. Sweet!
Duke3D:
Latest CVS builds and runs on Solaris/x86 (and presumably Solaris/sparc, too).
UTPG:
We're bringing in Steven Fuller ("relnev") to do some UTPG hacking. Beyond
doing consistently quality work, I expect his mere presence will keep my ass
in gear to get the Mac and Linux ports done.
Unreal Tournament 2003:
Mac 2225.2 is out. Hit the mirrors.
I'm going to do a Linux 2225.2 build, since there's about a million little
Unix fixes that went into the Mac port that would benefit Linux users...and
Linux 2225.0 was a crappy build anyhow. After that, I feel pretty good about
closing the book on ut2003 for good.
Unreal Tournament 2004:
If Mac retail installer crashes on you, use this:
http://icculus.org/~icculus/tmp/UT2004-mac-updated-installer.tar.bz2
If the installer just quits at startup without crashing, eject the disc and
reinsert it after unmounting the disc image you made or pirated. Other
people have noted that if your keyboard is set to Japanese input, the
installer might give up without warning at startup. Don't know why yet, and
I've only had one report of this. Switching to a US keyboard layout in
System Preferences, just for the installer, definitely fixes this.
If you're getting kicked for some invalid playerskins thing, update to
the latest patch.

America's Army:
2.1.0 is in beta testing on all platforms. No official release date right now.
The usual suspects have the beta build, or will have it soon.
Other stuff:
Apparently I'm speaking at LinuxWorld in San Francisco, if you want to come
and throw underwear or rotten fruit. Or rotten underwear and fruit.
