OS X Support

Any updates or plans?

RW is reliant on functionality provided by .NET so until those key pieces are available on OSX, methinks it's dead in the water on the Mac side. There was a recent-ish release of .NET code which caused several to be hopeful but it appears the pieces needed were not included.

OS X support is #1 on my own wishlist... Realm Works does run via Parallels and such, but it's a bit clunky. A native version would be awesome. Here's hoping the situation improves in the future.

One of the main reasons I chose to be an Alpha Wolf was the Mac client. It's absence has been disappointing, but as a developer I understand the potential issues with porting a heavy .NET application to OS X. The pool of OS X developers is also much smaller when compared to .NET developers so finding talent, at an affordable rate, is likely harder too.

Any port would (sensibly) be to an O/S neutral tool, so removing the dependencies.

I also hope to see this on OS X. I almost purchased it...but then realized it was not for MAC :/

You can run it in a VM or Boot Camp, it works mostly fine. There are sometimes perfomance issues, but that's kinda expected when you run it in a virtual environment.

I'm using a 2011 Mac Mini with Win8.1 Bootcamp to run games.

I know it's not a real OS X solution, but it's better than having to purchase a new machine for it.
