Sweet! There needs to be more Mac games!

The App Store claims this requires macOS 10.12 (Sierra). Any chance this can be supported on El Capitan (10.11), for those who don't want to—or cannot—upgrade to Sierra?

I'm not sure... I can look into it. I'm using a newer graphics API, but I think it is supported on 10.11.

That said: Why wouldn't you upgrade to 10.12? How many people don't upgrade? I thought Mac users were pretty aggressive about keeping their OS at the latest version.

Thanks,

Geoff

Thanks for the quick response, Geoff. Sierra (10.12) is dropping support for some older Macs that were still supported by El Capitan (10.11). My MacBook Pro (mid-2009) just missed the cutoff, apparently.

Hmm... apparently your Mac doesn't support the graphics API I'm using:

I'll look into 10.11 support for the next release I do, but sadly it won't help you. Sorry!

Interesting, well I appreciate you looking into it. No doubt I'll upgrade one of these days, so hopefully I'll get a chance to check out TOTAW at some point.

Why wouldn't you upgrade to 10.12

There is a cliff at some points for equipment support. Even with my machine able to run 10.12, I like 10.11 better. It is less iOS feeling.

Unfortunately I couldn't make 10.11 support work easily, so 10.12 is required. I tried! I'm sure it could be made to work, but there is other stuff I'd like to be working on.
