While Oni was developed by [[Bungie West]] simultaneously for Windows and Mac OS (with the PS2 port being done in parallel by Rockstar), the game's development was not completed for both PC platforms at the same time. Oni was gold-mastered 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]. As a result, while [[Mac betas|the Mac betas]] had version number 1.0 as in Windows (see [[Oni_(folder)/readme.txt|Windows read-me]] for version number), the retail version of the game app for Macs had the 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. | While Oni was developed by [[Bungie West]] simultaneously for Windows and Mac OS (with the PS2 port being done in parallel by Rockstar), the game's development was not completed for both PC platforms at the same time.

Most of the differences between versions probably related to Mac-specific bugs (graphics card issues were a known reason for the extra development time on Macs), but certain larger changes were made to the game as a whole. See [[PC_vs_Mac#File_formats|PC vs. Mac]] for details; note that the Windows demo had its app built from this 1.1 code, thus it has the same differences from retail Windows Oni as Mac Oni does). But even long after 1.1, the Mac Oni app would continue to evolve. | |||
