Hi Thomas,
The quote I read was:
Q: Able to be played on a wide variety of versions of Windows and perhaps
other Operating Systems, including for Mac and possibly for mobile
devices.
I took this to mean that the main interest was Windows, and "perhaps" others
as well. Therefore whether BGT is valid or not depends on how important the
cross platform aspect is for him. As for BGT being the only audio games
solution, I do not believe that Ryan in any way suggested this. As for being
bias, I don't think one could say that you are completely objective in this
regard either since you have your own engine related projects in
development. I must be honest and say that I do not really like the picture
that you paint where anyone, Ryan or myself or whoever else, is apparently
claiming that BGT is the be all and end all solution. This was not said, and
is not true. I merely pointed out that, as far as I could see, BGT may be a
good solution based on the requirements and Ryan agreed. Whether the
original poster agrees with this and chooses to investigate one option
rather than another is totally up to him. I am a great admirer of the work
you do Thomas, but it seems to me as though you were suggesting that people
who use or like BGT are bias or promoting some ultimit and flawless
alternative that fits all. This is definitely not the case, and I take issue
with that.
Kind regards,
Philip Bennefall

Hi Philip,
I think he was interested in a more cross-platform friendly solution as
he specifically mentioned that in his initial post. Therefore BGT, as
good as it is, wouldn't fulfill this requirement.
Cheers!

Hello Dakotah,
Another option, if you are looking at audio games exclusively, is BGT.
It fulfills all the criteria you specified. It only runs on Windows,
but has been confirmed to work well on Xp, Vista, 7 and 8 both on 32
and 64 bit architectures. It has facilities for sound, speech,
networking, and a lot more. You can find it at:
