Is this game 64bit?

Hello, upcoming MacOS does not support 32bit software. Can anyone please check if this game is 64bit, ideally somebody running MacOS?

I'm running Win 8.1 rather than MacOS, but it looks like it's 32-bit.

It's 32 bit I'm afraid.

I'll probably remove the Mac version from Steam, just so that people don't end up buying something that's broken.

The other option, I guess is to figure out how to make a 64bit Mac build, but last time I did this it was a bit of a nightmare. The problem is that if I update the game, it could break it for people with OLD OS versions who've already bought it.

You could always add it as another branch, like a beta.

You could release 64bit for MacOS only, it's purely 64bit since 2010. Seems pretty safe to me that nobody runs older ones nowadays

The additional wrinkle here is that Apple is planning to stop shipping OpenGL with MacOS. This means that for Infested Planet to have a future on Mac, I'd need to rewrite the game. Given how old the game is, that's not practical.

Is there a point in making it 64bit only for Apple to kill OpenGL a year later?
