If you are interested in games and a Solaris evangelist this might be
a great opportunity. This company is looking for some help from the
community to make this game available on Solaris and provide ongoing
support.

Greetings,

I'm one of the devs of an MMOFPS/RPG called Vendetta Online ( http://
vendetta-online.com ).  We simultaneously release updates to our
client (pretty much weekly) on Win32, MacOSX-PPC/X86, and Linux-X86/
AMD64.  We can compile for FreeBSD, but we don't because the linux
compatability layer works fine and there's not much demand.  I'm now
using NexentaCP on my main home desktop (due to interest in ZFS
primarily) and we have our client working (with new native sun sound
support) on this machine.  So, we could easily support the platform,
but the small additional time we'd have to spend before releasing
each update does add up when you release as often as we do. There's
also the fact that I wouldnt be able to test it at the office without
building another solaris box.

We're focused on a lot of other stuff that makes more business-sense
than supporting additional niche platforms, so our default position
is going to be not to bother.  I just wanted to give the opensolaris
community a chance to change our minds.  It would only take a handful
of people who would subscribe long-term, given solaris-support, to
make it worth it, but I'm skeptical that the small demographic that
likes non-consentual twitch-combat in space, intersected with the
fraction of the solaris community that this message reaches will
include anyone at all.

~Michael
