Interview with Hyperion's Thomas Frieden -- 10:45 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

On January 11th of this year, Monolith announced that they had given Hyperion the rights to port Shogo: Mobile Armor Division to Linux (in addition to the Amiga and Mac ports Hyperion was already working on). I conducted an interview with Thomas Frieden, Hyperion's Shogo/LithTech project leader about the Linux port. Here's a clip to whet your appetite:
A.T. Hun: How difficult will it be to port a mod to be usable with the Linux version?

Thomas Frieden: It depends. For the Object.lto/ServerShell, it took 20 minutes to port it over to Linux. The ClientShell is a bit heavier on Windows code. If the changes to the original are not too extreme, mod authors can use a lot of our code to fill in the gaps.
Whether you are a fan of Shogo or a fan of Linux (or both!) it's an interesting read.
