    • Coldstone for Windows. Why not?

      Why is there no planned Windows release for Coldstone?

      I'd love to try this software out to express some of my creative urges but alas I'm one of those dreaded PC users.

      Is it just "one of those things" or are there specific reasons for the "no Windows release" statement?

      Beenox tried making a PC version but it was meant to be very unstable so they didn't bother. I guess that it should be fairly easy to make CS for PC, all they would have to would be to check the windows box when they are compiling in RB. I wouldn't mind a windows version if it meant more people bought CS and that led to more development of it. But as it stands that is the 4th thing on my list which goes like

      1. Bug fixes
      2. New Features
      3. Multiplayer support
      4. PC version

      There is no PC version for the same reason that the Mac doesn't get every program ported to it. Just like the Mac, the PC can't have every program that comes on the market. Besides, like Pilky said, we still have man things to get fixed in Coldstone before we begin looking at a PC version.

      These threads are really the only ones that I wish wouldn't come up anymore. Ah well. 🙂

      I don't really see the point in having the FAQ. I mean we seem to answer yet another question from it every week in here. Oh well, we need something to talk about. 😉
