    The people at BeGroovy have posted an interview with Trent Oster regarding Neverwinter Nights, it can be found here.

    "With the intense 3d and networking required, we can only assume that you have your hands on the BONE and OpenGL betas. If so, how have you found them both from a performance and coding perspective?

    Don
    I still haven't done any benchmarking of the OpenGL performance, but it looks very good. Be is working hard to make sure it is as fast or faster then the Windows version. Since OpenGL is a standard API, the only differences have to do with initial setup and the few platform dependent things you need to do between frames. I would say the BeOS implementation in these respects is cleaner but that is directly related to the BeOS user interface API. I have not done any benchmarking of the networking performance either. I haven't ported to the BONE API so I can't comment on it from a development standpoint. At this stage of development I want to stay with the standard sockets API to make porting more maintainable."

    This interview is mostly about Neverwinter Nights running under the BeOS operating system, so if you are running BeOS you should find it very interesting.
