Quick Question from a Mac User
« on: June 13, 2016, 01:07:44 am »
Is there going to eventually be a download port for the mac? I understand it involves wine and all of that, and I understand that there is a way to use PlayOnMac or whatever, but will there be an individual mac download?
sorry if this is a pointless question to ask

I'm sure someone can/will package a Mac/Linux download eventually, since there have been some up for download previously.

Yeah, I suppose. I just thought I'd go ahead and ask because I'm rather impatient :')

I think my biggest concern is stability and if its easy to access the files for textures and such, and the setup I put together for the new update didn't really have that.

I think you will find PlayOnMac covers everything your asking for even with the Mac version you needed Xquartz. so the only difference is your having to install PlayOnMac the script downloads the game and everything for you.

And as I've said before I do not have a Mac so providing support is much more difficult better to have one thing that can be maintained for both Mac and Linux.
