I'm not asking for, or expecting, official support for this, but did want to know if anyone has tried running the beta on a mac using either Parallels or VMWare?

I think I tried it early on using VrtualBox and VMWare (but on a PC)... must check...

I playtested all my artwork during the development on a Mac using Parallels. Never had any issues running it.

My experience so far trying to get WiTE running on Ubuntu 10.04 with latest version of Wine is encouraging. The game installed without problems, as expected, and I could make it to the main menu screen, although no intro movies were shown.

However I couldn't get past the main menu: as one of the game music tracks started to play it froze.

I say "encouraging" since I think that it might be playable if I find a way to disable sounds.
