SketchFactor has put up a little mini-update on Mac Halo, providing links to the recent interviews with Peter Tamte of Destineer and Phil Sulak of Westlake Interactive (both at HBO), as well as adding new comments by Al Schilling, the General Manager for MacSoft, who has agreed to do weekly updates as Michael Bastien did at Gearbox. Here's what he has to say this week:

We've been doing a lot of "pre-beta" testing on Halo Mac while waiting for some of the final details to be taken care of (recompressing videos, etc.). Pixel shaders are working and look great on the Mac hardware. Those who are on the official beta-testing team will be getting CDs on Monday or Tuesday of next week. All-in-all, the game is looking solid. Most efforts from here to release will be concentrated on optimizing for speed

SketchFactor promises a "juicier" update next week.
