A question specifically for Lee.

What is the likely hood that GameGuru will support multiple platforms in the future?

I'm not referring to any kind of timeline or specific date, is there a chance in the future that GG will be capable of supporting platforms such as Linux or Mac or even consoles?

I'm sure I read a reply to a similar question from Lee a while ago that it would probably never or at the best a very long time in the future because gameguru is for pc only and agk is for multiplatform.

The ultimate goal is to create a great 3D game maker for Windows first, and I think we agree as a community that we're far from that point. The good news is that a lot of the work to achieve this will be in C++ which means it is in the right programming language should we decide to move to other desktop platforms, mobile devices and consoles. As you know from our AppGameKit programming language, TGC has a great deal of experience creating cross-platform technology, but we also want to do things in the right order and I am still on a mission to create a well rounded 3D game maker that takes some of the sting out of creating a 3D game from scratch. Once we get to that point, I agree that moving the solution to other platforms is a logical step
