Future Mac Support (Vulcan vs Metal API)

So a couple weeks ago a StarDock employee wrote this about Ashes, "We are working on Vulkan API support. Unfortunately Apple has not announced support for this graphics standard, instead promoting their proprietary "Metal" API. This means it is a ways off, if it is ever done."

What does this mean for future Mac support for the rest of your games? Can we realistically expect to see Star Contorl or others to be ported to Mac?

Not even a single view. I guess that's as good of an answer as I'll get.

... You know, I think I'm pretty much done with gaming. All it really is is a bunch of DLC now and a half assed story (if the devs even include a story). Good luck with your future endeavors guys.

Well, this community has been dead for the last few months as a result of little-no new information. If it makes you feel any better I haven't gotten a response to my questions on the Founder's Program, it is not an exclusive issue to just you.

There isn't much news right now for Star Control as it's still in early development. Once we get further along we'll definitely share it outside of the Founders forums.

I'd also suggest posting to the Star Control forums, as this forum category isn't seen in many of the other forums.

As far as Mac support goes, I unfortunately don't have an answer for that. As Star Control is still a ways out and there are several factors involved, it is something that will be discussed at some point.
