"eniko why won't your studio support mac anymore"
well, this might have something to do with it: hackaday.com/2024/11/01/apple-…
"Now it would seem that to distribute MacOS software you need to have an Apple Developer Program membership, costing $99/year."
if anything apple should be paying *me* $99 a year to put up with their bullshit. i'm not locking myself into development-as-a-service where every year i have to dish out $99 to even be allowed to make programs for mac and then every 4 years also have to buy an entirely new overpriced piece of trash laptop because apple arbitrarily decided the latest version of macos won't run on older macbooks
Apple Forces The Signing Of Applications In MacOS Sequoia 15.1
Many MacOS users are probably used by now to the annoyance that comes with unsigned applications, as they require a few extra steps to launch them. This feature is called Gatekeeper and checks for …Hackaday

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! • • •most mac computers can also run linux, so they can play the games that way too.
maybe it's possible to distribute a build of wine alongside the game as a mac version?
you wouldn't be able to test if this works on all mac os versions though, apple is a mess

I gave up a couple decades ago.

This turns out not to be the case.

The only good answer to this, is to disengage.

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! • • •so we can't... write source code, compile and link it into executable binary files, and run those anymore? is that the bottom line? is MacOS (and all its libraries) an untenable API now? we need to pay a subscription to use our own universal Von Neumann machine now?
[UPDATE: actually no, not yet, see below]
like a paper notebook whose pages you have to pay rent to write on?
to scribble your own poems, with your own ink, to share with your own friends?
guess I'm never buying a Mac again

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! • • •@jplebreton I think Apple inherently both don’t understand gaming and don’t care. They make some big splash announcement with some big game every few years (often years after it would matter). That’s it.
I keep hearing the same specific argument from game developers time after time again, it’s not worth it.
At it’s core it’s not about the hardware (separate topic), or the $99 dev program, or the compatibility issues, or lack of sensible APIs (they don’t even put actual Vulkan on there), or any of the other reasons.
It’s not worth it. The investment has terrible ROI. And I say this as an Apple user. I play my games elsewhere (but never ever Windows, the worst of the worst).
Indie devs, don’t bother with Apple unless it’s a passion project for you. Not even MiHoYo (who has iPadOS and iOS versions!) releases on Mac. Should tell you everything.
So, Kitsune Tails for SNES, when?

in reply to Eniko | Kitsune Tails out now! • • •If they make it impossible for me to build my own programs without going through some fucking developer license, and I know this is distinctly different from distributing software, I will absolutely walk away from Apple. And I have been sorely tempted over the last few years to do just that.
Even the hardware which had been one of their strong points is now sort of crappy.
That leaves them only with their monitors and Apple has quite become almost too frustrating to deal with.
