And no. I will NEVER make a macOS port of any of my games, even if you email me a macOS DMG, especially given that Apple loves to break compatibility every few years. I'm sticking with ONLY Windows and Linux ports. Maybe I will port my games to more obscure operating systems like BSD or Haiku, but I WILL NOT support Apple. It's already bad enough that I have to have Windows ports in order to have a decently sized audience.

Also, I will not port any of my games to mobile either.

Okay, I've been neglecting on a Windows port for my SFML game, Distant Ruins for quite awhile now. If anyone is willing to do it, that would be appreciated. You should be able to compile it with MinGW. The build.sh script can easily be converted into a batch file with a few modifications. Run it and you should be able to get a working Windows executable.

Let me know if you are able to do this.

I hate multifactor authentication, I hate sms, I hate emails, I hate above all else, authenticator applications you have to install in your phone and that never send the notification or just silently send it over.
I hate them I hate them I hate them.
Just let me use an user and pasaword like every normal person.
Yes I am me!
These are not nuclear codes we're dealing with. Wich I would require a passphrase book printed on paper behind a safe with two keys that need to be opeeated by two people.
I just want to log in into a vpn and get work done.

@D-Droid @alex That's what happens when you move away from jpg, gif, and png. WebP was a compromise with Satan and now the harvest is being reaped.

In response to the current situation, this is what you deserve for not writing your own engine. A multimedia framework is all you ever need.

Huh, so Unity has reached the killing-the-golden-goose point of their enshittification: gamedeveloper.com/business/uni

20c per install doesn't sound like much to PC users, but that's potentially enough to nuke mobile gaming entirely. Which they know, because they also run the stats system mobile devs use to calculate ARPU/ARPPU.

Unreal taking a small cut of revenue works fine. That's based on you know, money you made.

Unity charging based on "Installs" might actually cost you money in mobile space. Or if you do a PS+ freebie. Or GamePass. Or especially an EpicStore freebie. They know what they're doing, and it's fucking evil.
