    Hey, is it just me, or does anyone else want a Mac version, because I have a decent Mac, but no good computer that runs windows, and I don't want to spend $600+ on a new good gaming laptop. I do hope this version will exist, because I really want to play it :/

    Well you can get windows boot camp, but a mac version is not likely at all.

    Currently, this is not possible and also not a top priority of the developers, as a majority of Mac's/MacOS devices are not powerful enough to run the game at a playable frame rate. Another reason for it not being their priority is that a very high amount of people use Windows, and it would be a waste of time to do a port.

    The devs have said they might do a Vulkan port after v1.0, this would allow for Mac and Linux versions.

    Ok, thanks, I guess I'll just wait or spend a few hundred dollars on a new computer. It's too bad this won't come soon most likely, but thanks anyway,

    Wouldn't running a virtual machine work?

    virtual machine overheads are high, mac is already underpowered, VM will just leave it lagging to fuckery

    Wow, even with gridmap loaded at bare-minimum graphics settings with disabled collision?

    Well, that's no fun anyway.

    Better than spending a few thousands for a mac that runs the game.

    Yup. Apple rips off so much money.
