Mac Compatibility

by Theo Brinkman · in TGB Platformer Kit · 03/13/2008 (7:16 pm) · 10 replies

I wanted to verify Mac compatibility for the PSK before I go ahead and buy it. The System Requirements list OS X, but there isn't a platform icon for it at the top of the page.

I saw this and suddenly had the urge to try and dig up the level designs for a MegaMan clone I made 20 years ago and see what I could do with them.

Theo, I have submitted both a Mac OS X installer and a Mac OS X demo to GG and it is pending QA approval.

There is nothing in the kit that is platform specific and there have been a few people who have just copied the installed directories from their PC to their Mac without problems.

If you don't have access to a PC, the Mac version should be uploaded tomorrow.

I want someone to create a Contra clone!

Any news on the status of the OS X installer?

It is up there, for some reason it doesn't show up on the product page though. It should be there once you purchase it.

I've asked them to look into it, but nothing has changed yet.

Cool thanks. You're about to get another purchase.

Let me rephrase that. You just *got* another purchase.
