Raven's John Scott
updated his
.plan with some common questions and answers about Soldier of Fortune development:
The IRC chat the other night was a lot of fun, thanks for so many people turning
up! There were a few common questions that I'll give the official line here - please bear
in mind that this is the official line and not necessarily my opinion.
1. Will there be a Linux port ?
There are no plans at the moment, however, we realise that this will increase the number
of servers out there and will be a big support for the Win32 users. It all really
depends on how many units are sold, we are not in the fortunate
position of being able to support an OS because it would be cool to do so.
2. Will the tools be on the CD?
No. They will be available for download soon after we go gold. It is just one thing we
don't need to deal with during the stress of getting a game finished. There isn't enough
space on the CD either :) This also gives us chance to write help files and make
demo maps and sample models.
3. Will it be as violent as people say it is ?
Yes. There will be a strong parental lock option, however, so there is an option to turn
off the gore and sanitise the violence. We have made the game for adults and there will be
a warning on the box.
