Linux Support

[Azure Zero]

The Video ad says cross-platform, but I don't see Linux or Mac system specs on the store page.

So is this software going to get multi-OS support or not?

Mac (setup guide here[help.yoyogames.com])

Xcode 8.2.1 (which requires OSX El Capitan 10.11 or macOS Sierra 10.12)
OS X 10.6 or later is required for non-App Store games
OS X 10.9 or later is required for App Store games

Be aware we do not support Xcode 8.3


Ubuntu (setup guide here[help.yoyogames.com])

14.04 LTS 64bit is the only distro we support
Other distros can use the game packages we generate and may also be used when building, but we do not offer support for this.

From what I read, it sounds like is not What Linux devs would want. As it sounds like the Software is running on a windows system and connecting to a Linux PC via SSH.

Linux devs will be wanting the IDE software to run Natively on Linux, not having a windows VM or system connected to the network.

The IDE will run on Windows and Mac but not Linux. We don't currently have plans for a linux version but if enough people show interest then we may look into it.

The Mac IDE will be going into closed beta on March 22

Linux/SteamOS port please =,).

In unity (free) you can also develop 2d & 3d games and it has export options for all know platforms for FREE and a large store with plugins and a very huge community that answers your quiestions with good code.

I think he's trying to say that you might want to try Unity instead. Not that I agree or disagree, but I think that's the gist of it.

Anyway, +1 for Linux support.

Anyone tried it on Wine / Crossover ?

[Azure Zero]

Saying Wine is a solution, is giving a half-@ssed answer. Wine has limits and issues as it is not perfect for running windows applications.

That doesn't answer my question :) You can choose to complain about something that is unlikely to happen, or you can do something about it.

Did the Mac beta come out yet? I've been holding off on buying GMS2 and waiting to see if they stuck to their goals of bringing GMS to Macintosh before I bought. If the Mac beta is accessible via Steam, I'd participate however I can even.

the mac version is in closed beta, however i just use bootcamp to use the software

I'm not interested in emulation or dual-booting though. I can emulate just fine, but native software is much more efficient and convenient in this case.

Anyways, I bought it already. However, it looks like GMS2 for Steam Windows might still be in a beta of its own. Some bug saying I'm using a trial version - those are for other threads though.

P.S. Devs, if you put the mac beta test on Steam, I would like to participate.
