A girl can hope right?

You can, but brace yourself to be disappointed.

That happened when we passed "early July".

Now I'm just hoping it's this year. Then again they did scrap the Mac version without notice.


Guess I'll go back to plan A. Install windows on my Mac.

Not much of an update but at least it's something...

From Pocket Tactics:

Back at the beginning of the month there were hearts set a-thumping everywhere by the news that Games Workshop’s (literally) fantasy football tabletop game Blood Bowl was coming to mobile in “early July”. Clearly, that has not come to pass.

After some effort I got in touch with Focus Home Interactive, the French publisher in charge of the project. They told me on Wednesday that the game has been “slightly delayed”. Well, yes. I think we knew that. More news was promised “very soon”, but the takeaway here is that nobody knows what’s up with Blood Bowl, so don’t expect an imminent release.

Might have something to do with the cross platform implementation like the other game they mentioned.

Worst case is they drop it. Personally I think they should jump on this ASAP and let fans know one way or the other. Like I said. Bad news doesn't get better with time.

[Gallows Bait]

The only thing cyanide staff have ever jumped on quickly were jobs at other developers (see lack of any original BB programmers within 2 years).

Quite frankly with no one left that knows the pc version client code I'm surprised there even is a version coming to any format built on the premise of linking to the same core game server.

While I am leaning towards the worst case I want the best case.

It's entirely possible they hired the ios development and android stuff out.

Here's hoping in any case.

Freaking Mac is having trouble installing windows.

A friend of mine was dual booting with windows on a mac a while ago. Very possible it was actually linux with wine or something though. I'll ask him about it tomorrow and drop back by.
