While Oni was developed by [[Bungie West]] simultaneously for Windows and Mac OS (with the PlayStation 2 port being done in parallel by Rockstar), the game's development was not completed for both PC platforms at the same time. Oni was [[wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_release_life_cycle#Release_to_manufacturing_.28RTM.29|gold master]]ed for Windows [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=6259 around mid-November 2000]. The Mac version continued in development for [http://carnage.bungie.org/oniforum/oni.forum.pl?read=7653 at least another month], partly due to a graphics bug discovered at the last minute.

At some point after gold-mastering Windows retail Oni, while still working on Mac Oni, but before the Windows demo was made, some significant changes were made to the layout of the level data. See [[Windows_Oni_vs._Mac_Oni#File_formats|Windows Oni vs. Mac Oni]] for details. The Oni app for the Windows demo was built afterward, thus it has the same differences from retail Windows Oni as Mac Oni does.

As a result, Windows retail Oni is at version 1.0 (as seen in the [[Oni_(folder)/readme.txt|Windows read-me]]), and the original game app for Macs was version number 1.1 (pictured, right; also see the [[Oni_(folder)/Oni_ReadMe|Mac read-me]]). But even long after 1.1, the Mac Oni app would continue to evolve.
