Future for Mac Users?

[jillian.teeple]

I've been looking forward to this game for months but just found out the demo is not on mac! Will the game ever be made available for mac users? I'd love to play it myself but am not able to get a PC currently.

Right now the state of Mac is "we have a build kinda sorta working on Apple Silicon, but it's glitchy, and not in a shape to be released".

Some of the required tech is problematic, particularly around graphics, so it's hard to say anything concrete. The new M1/M2/M3 certainly have amazing hardware and plenty of power, but using that power requires a programming interface. Apple unfortunately doesn't support standard solutions that work on Windows and Linux; more technical info here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2198150/discussions/0/4138311592813377494/?ctp=2#c4352247346367310107 (ignore the first paragraph). We've also never used MacOS ourselves, so we're trying to work around the issues while learning the basics of the platform 😅

We're also investigating GeForce NOW support in parallel, which might at least work as a workaround for Mac players who use the service.

So in summary, we're looking into it, but we'd need to delay the PC release by an unknown amount of time if we wanted platform parity at launch, and so Mac support will (hopefully 🤞) come a bit later.

Adding my hopeful vote for Mac support! I look forward to Tiny Glade being my dopamine game during the break ;)

I'm in the same boat as the OP. Would love to see it with Mac support!

I’ll buy the game if it becomes available on Mac. Tried playing the demo through windows on Mac but unfortunately it doesn’t work at all. Doesn’t even start the game. Can play other games without problem.

Same boat. Understand why you are releasing on windows first, but please 🙏 consider expanding to MacOS!
I have 5 coworkers and 2 friends waiting in line too.
Wishing you guys all the best with the final countdown.

+ to the mac support! i had to buy a switch for dorf romantik, don't make me buy a pc for this awesomeness <3

As mac user I will also wait for your second release for mac users. As a writer of fantasy book I might say it would be very interesting to visualise buildings

Hey guys, I am also a Mac User, and maybe u didnt understand what h3r2tic (Dev) said, but you can play Tiny Glade on Mac with Geforce Now in the near future :) <3

[TaurusBrown]

Yes please! @h3r2tic, I know that we're asking too much because you're not charging for the game so much money to go into these hardships with macOS development... But I do hope that you will be able to find motivation and resources to release this on Mac.

Cheers!

+1 for Mac please!

Congtrats on the launch!

+1 for Mac (also, this is a game experience which could be at its best on iPad). BTW, devs, I appreciate your honest feedback regarding the issues you have to solve with porting to the Apple ecosystem. This also explains why the game might not work under Wine/Crossover.

In the meantime, looking forward to potentially having the game on Geforce Now.
