As the salty Mac question last week indicated OP hadn't seen more recent streams that gave up-to-date answers, can we please have a non-salty Linux Mac answer?
Did I?
Oh, the microwave comment.
No, I don't regret that in the slightest.
I was feeling, I was feeling teasy that day.
But absolutely, we can absolutely have a reminder of the Mac and Linux situation.
And the situation right now is that we don't officially support the game on Linux Mac.
What we do is that we are not spending any active, like, what's the word now, active planned time for any developer to look into it.
But we do have a thing in the office called creative time, which is a huge privilege It's honestly the best or second best thing we have in the office and what creative time is is you either get four hours every week or Eight hours every other week and you can only save up to eight hours Then you you can't do like eventually a full week of just this by saving it up so at max eight hours every other week and
It's a wonderful day of CT, which entails you either developing on something completely out of your planned pipeline, you do whatever you want as long as it pertains to, you know, creative, active creative making of something, developing something, something that could be useful with a reasonable argument in the games industry and in making games, for fuck's sake.
I'll turn this light on back after this question is done.
And we have had I think one or two guys who have been using their creative time to loosely explore what it would entail to actually finish porting this game.
properly to Linux and Macs, and they have actually gotten further than anyone really thought would be feasible with, in the grand scope of things, the limited CT we have.
So, if it progresses much further and the, like, trampoline point from their own quote-unquote free dev time
is something we can work off of without chewing away from too much at the planned pipeline, that's when officially looking at putting people actively on porting it to Mac and Linux would be an option.
Maybe.
We have something in the cook, but it is completely on people's own timetable and not in the satisfactory timetable.
But depending on how far that private timetable goes, there could be a window to merge them.
Is the official answer on LinuxMax.
Thank you.
And if you took offense to the microwave comment last week, hello.
If you took offense to the microwave comment last week, I was only having fun for my own sake.
