Mac version - In the near future?

So i've never even played Terraria because of its windows nativity.
Now i'm hoping this game will be playable on a mac. Will it?

 

My roommate is also waiting of a mac version.

I installed ubuntu on a small partition on his computer and installed this game. It's a pain in the ass, but you only need to sacrifice about 10gigs. You could probably even just use an ubuntu live CD and never install anything.

It's no mac version, but judging by the fact that Soldat doesn't have a mac version it's probably your best bet.

 

I've fiddled with bootcamp, emulators and "skins", but i fear that most mac users won't bother.
Ultimately, i myself won't run bootcamp on my mac as i try to keep it as clean and simple as possible due to the fact that it also serves as my workplace (i'm a musician by trade), and therefore stability and "cleanliness" is top priority.

I'll keep hoping for a native mac version of this game, i'd play it to death. Guess i'm going to have to stick with dwarf fortress in the meantime though.

 

I've been playing a wine version of KAG on my mac for over a month. It works great.

I used Wine Bottler:

It's a pretty simple process. You just point wine bottler to the setup file, and it packages it all up for you. Takes 5 minutes. Only downside is that I often have to launch it a few times for it to actually start, but if you know that going in, it's not a big deal.

 

Very good news. Thank you so much sir.

 

Geti, if you want, I can send you a self-contained "wine-bottled" version of KAG that should work as a mac-version for now. I can send a zip, and you could put it up as a download somewhere. It wouldn't require knowledge of, or even an install of wine. You just download, unzip, and launch. It auto-updates, so it shouldn't need to be re-compiled unless you all change anything major.

I get the sense, from this post and another one I posted the same tip on, that the mac folks don't want to bother with even the wine-bottler method.

 

Hey Theater,

Terraria for Mac is actually pretty easy too. There's a wrapper that works just fine:

You can play both of these games, you just have to work a tiny bit more for it. It's certainly no more tedious than playing Dwarf Fortress! ;D

 

I am purchased the game, and waiting for osx version :P

 

maybe you put somewhere native version?

 

here is winebottler app for osx
works on osx 10.7.1 lion

Works fine in Snow Leopard (osx 10.6) too, a bit sluggish but i'll chalk that up to my mac mini being born in 2006, with a mediocre gpu.
Requires Wine/winebottler http://winebottler.kronenberg.org/, as already mentioned.

As a side-note, you can't really beat a native solution, as this concoction works out to approximately 84mb, quite hefty for a kag client imo..

 

there is nothing more permanent than a temporary (c) google translate
