[QUOTE="Scorponok, post: 4991921, member: 61810"] [SIZE=3]Hi everyone, Ever since we released [/SIZE][URL="http://www.wolflair.com/hero_lab/"][SIZE=3]Hero Lab[/SIZE][/URL][SIZE=3] for Windows three years ago, people have requested a version that runs natively on Mac OS. Hero Lab works great under Boot Camp, Parallels, Virtual PC, etc, but Mac users (quite reasonably) want to run Hero Lab on their native operating system, without having to reboot or buy a Windows license. We're actively investigating a number of porting options, and some are simply too costly to consider for a company our size. However, there is one option that we are seriously considering, and we need to better gauge the demand before we go ahead with it. If you are a Mac user, and you don't own Hero Lab yet, would you purchase the product if a native Mac version were available? Please note that the following restrictions would apply: 1) The application would likely only run under "Tiger" (OS X 10.4), not earlier versions. 2) The application would look and behave exactly the same as it does under Windows, with the exception of things like the main menu. The user interface would not be rewritten for the mac. 3) All features would work on Mac OS exactly as they do on Windows. There would be no functionality difference between the Mac and Windows versions. Hero Lab currently supports Mutants & Masterminds, Pathfinder, the d20 System, World of Darkness (Vampire & Changeling), 4th edition, Cortex System, and Savage Worlds - all of these game systems would be available within the Mac version. Given these conditions, would you purchase Hero Lab if you haven't already done so? If you're a Mac user who's interested in using Hero Lab, now's your chance to show it. Please let us know if you'd buy Hero Lab if it was available for the Mac. :) [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
