Any plans for a Mac version?

This was a real surprise hit for me during Next Fest, can't wait for the full release.
Just wondering if you plan on releasing a Mac (Apple silicon ) version? Being a Unity engine game its relatively easy to do, but I could imagine the voice recognition might be a sticking point? Honestly though i'd rather have the game available on Mac with just typing than not at all.

Yeh voice input is windows only, we could possibly do a version without voice however, I don't think that's a huge hurdle, I will get back to you on this, I cant tell you with 100% certainty right now as I am completely focused on getting this game done, but I have made mac apps before with Unity so I am sure its fine technically.

Really looking forward to the Mac release, so I can tell my mom she can play it. I showed her the trailer and it's absolutely the kind of thing she'd love. The only issue is that she owns nothing but Macbooks and iPads.

@paulbbg any plans now?

I will have a talk with Akupara games (publisher) about this shortly, see where we stand as far as future updates and sales and such, I think its likely on the edge if it is going to be worth porting or not, I sort of let it slip that the next update after 1.035 will be some sort of content patch (specifically Whatever related), so it would likely be after that if it happens, that is probably a better time to make that call also, as we will have a better idea how the game is doing.

Any update on Mac version? Would really like to play this but not really a pc gamer. Does the console version include keyboard support?

EDIT: I just realized there is two mac threads, here is my post from the most recent:

Oh that is a good question, I think highest priority right now is getting this update out, which is likely to drag out to towards the end of the year at this stage as Lee and I are notorious feature creepers, as far as additional ports I will circle back after the big content update and see what is practical to do.

We are still working on the content update and will be till the end of the year. I do believe Akupara (who are handling the console ports) are looking into getting external keyboards working for ps/xbox so I will have more news on that shortly.

I don't imagine this is going to ever happen, but I thought I would add my interest in a mac version as well

I would love either a Mac version, or keyboard support for the PS5 version!

Keyboard support for XB and PS5 is live, was added a few weeks back.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I can’t seem to get keyboard working on the XB version? Arrow keys work but typing does not.

Best way to get some support on this is hit up Akupara games via discord, they handle the ps5/xb versions : https://discord.com/invite/akuparagames

Thanks for the quick reply! Luckily I figured it out. For anyone reading this in the future, I had to start the game from the Home Screen using the keyboard with the controller OFF.
