We are pleased to announce the release of v1.2.1 of Discipline Master: Episode 1 ("DME1"). This is a free update for all owners of DME1. This update is a fresh port of DME1 from Microsoft's legacy XNA Framework to the more modern and multiplatform FNA which the other D.M. games use.

First and foremost this update adds support for Mac and Linux. The player character walk speed has also been increased to match that of DMA, RNT & M&P.

Some of you may recall there was a previous effort to bring DME1 to Mac and Linux a few years ago. While playable a build was released it had severe stability issues and was eventually withdrawn. This was due technical issues related to DME1's use of 3D model implements (something that later DM games do not use) that we were not able to resolve. Recently we took a fresh look and we are happy to report we have managed to resolve these issues.

-------------------------

Do note a few other changes made from the older Windows-only version DME1:

1. When starting a cp session in the campaign you will always need equip an implement from the control panel (as oppose to having it pre-equipped).

2. The opening cutscene for the campaign is no longer played within the game itself; an updated version in HD 1080p is instead now viewable on the game download page.
(The way the original Windows version of the game displayed cutscenes was very tied to Windows Media specific functionality and was limited to 1280x720 resolution.)

3. It is no longer necessary to have the Microsoft XNA Framework 4.0 installed to run the game.
