We have been in discussion with our third party partner and they have no plans on updating the sound engine to support the latest macOS. Changes to the audio drivers in macOS 11.0 (Big Sur) has caused our sound engine to stop working.If a graphics related bug occurs we are blind and have to guess what’s going on, which increases the workload per bug to extreme levels. Newer macOS can still run OpenGL games but there are no tools to help development. OpenGL was deprecated in macOS 10.14 (Mojave).We wanted to share some more details about the problem with you here: We are truly sad for those of you who have been waiting for this version to be released. This means that SOMA won’t fully work on the latest version of MacOS (audio will not work to be more specific) and that we won’t be releasing Amnesia: Rebirth on Mac at all.

Even though we’ve put in tons of effort trying to fix the issues – so that SOMA and Rebirth supports MacOS – we have finally had to give up. We’ve always prided ourselves with being able to supply our games on PC, Linux and Mac, but we have now encountered some serious problems with the latest versions of MacOS. You can find more information on the software at the companyis Web site.We’re coming to you here with some sad news. Owners of particleIllusion 2.0 for OS 8/9 can upgrade to particleIllusion 3.0 for OS X for $49. Upgrades from particleIllusion SE for Mac are priced at $249 until August 31st, $299 thereafter. Whether for digitally blowing things up, or for some serious particle effects work, particleIllusion 3.0 is priced at US$349 until August 31st, 2005. "Many professional users also find particleIllusion an effective tool for creating fully animated backgrounds, wipes and other transitions, and countless other artistic motion graphics elements." "Although Mac users will immediately gravitate towards using particleIllusion for creating explosions, they may be surprised to learn that particleIllusion is useful for much more than iblowing things upi!" Alan Lorence, president of wondertouch, quipped in a statement.

The new Mac version of the software includes new features, and improvements to the rendering engine. particleIllusion is a standalone particle effects application designed to add particle affects to images, animations, and video footage. Wondertouch announced Monday particleIllusion 3.0 for Mac OS X, a release that brings the software to compatibility with the Windows version of the product.
