Ron Gilbert (GrumpyGamer)@Fluttermind Any plans for a Mac version? I'd love to play this.
JamesGecko@grumpygamer @Fluttermind At a glance, it looks like it should be possible to run the Steam version on macOS natively, via shenanigans. @Fluttermind would you mind if I wrote up a set of instructions about how to extract the code/data from the Windows version and run it on macOS?
@jamesgecko @grumpygamer The only reason I don’t is that it *sucks* on M1 style chipsets. So go ahead!
@Fluttermind @jamesgecko I'm a life long Mac programmer wonder why that is? I've heard some people say that, but never encountered it myself.
@grumpygamer @jamesgecko So, the game requires LuaJIT, which doesn’t run properly on M1 for some reason, and causes some horrific memory/disk thrashing.
@Fluttermind @jamesgecko Ah, that makes sense now.
@grumpygamer @jamesgecko That said, I'm more than happy to make you a platform agnostic build so you can throw it at a native Love.exe and see for yourself?
@grumpygamer @jamesgecko Try running this via Love2D: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XSOxsmKqaM5axNRSpqGx_SQaizFYKQhh/view?usp=drive_link
