Ipad Support?

[kameruza]

This game is a must have if you own an Ipad pro with apple pencil. That would be awesone. Amazing job keep it up!

Hey! We're not planning iOS support for launch, but we'll see about later :) Do agree that it would probably feel great on a tablet -- touch input on the Steam Deck is a completely different experience from a mouse & keyboard combo. We don't have any experience with iOS as a platform though, and worry that the performance would not be adequate -- but we'll be optimizing things, so perhaps there's a chance.

The iPads with Apple Silicon processors (M 1 - 4) easily meet the requirements for Tiny Glade. Even iPads from the A16 upwards should have no problems with the minimum requirements. And it's not even a problem that your game isn't ready for the ARM architecture... Apple has a solution for that too. You don't even have to rewrite the code, as there is already support for porting games.

ARM is not the problem - the game compiles just fine for ARM. For MacOS the biggest issue is the graphics API (see here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4425436888445659159/#c4425436888445730478). I know next to nothing about iOS but it's probably all the MacOS issues plus more :P

+1 for iOS and even Mac support please! So many cozy gamers on Apple

Here is some information from Apple itself, in case you haven't already discovered it.

https://developer.apple.com/games/

Of course, it makes no sense to postpone the release of the game because of Apple. I very much hope that you will make the game available for Mac and iPad as soon as possible.

Along with IOS, ARM architecture is also used in Windows. It would be great if there was native ARM support. There are also many Windows devices that support the stylus.

My wife wait our game on ios its will be very interesting experience
Thanks for this game!

I wouldn't worry about the hardware performance. The latest iPads and iPhones from the last 2 years run official games like Assassins Creed Mirage, Resident Evil Village, Dead Stranding and more with raytracing and all thanks too the Metal API

But I would prefer PC feature updates first instead of fingers in too many pies at once lol

I would love to play this on my iPad. I have been craving to play this on the go, but I can’t afford to buy a steam deck right now, and I don’t always want to play on my computer. Guess I better start saving up for a deck 😅

[sirius.jihad]

Hey, discovered the game yesterday, it is amazing, please support iPad with pencil, it would make the experience reach another level...
Great job!

[sherrylauren30]

I so much agree with iPad support. Ohhhh it'll be so relaxing to keep building something on the go. DEVs please give it a thought. 🙏🙏🙏

[BANKSHOT]

Has anyone tried playing this through Steamlink on an iPad?

I’ve heard that Tiny Glade game was built on Beavy engine and is written in Rust. If that’s correct, than you should be able to simply build your game for Apple platforms, because Beavy is already using WebGPU library for cross-platform rendering. WebGPU is an API-agnostic and cross-platform wrapper on top of platform dependent graphic APIs like DirectX, Vulkan and Metal on Apple devices.

I would do a happy dance if someday it comes out on iPad. 🤞

[borbely.agi96]

It would be an instant buy for me if it would come out on iPad <3 Just like I love playing StardewValley on it.
