reaching out for mac support help

i thought it was worth posting this here since there's always people reading my blog, and you never know who might come across it. someone out there might be able to help, just like the amazing contributor who added linux support and leaderboards for us.

for anyone who doesn't know, mbupc is our community driven revival of marble blast ultra, the old xbox 360 arcade classic. we rebuilt it for modern systems so people can play it again, whether they grew up with it or are discovering it for the first time.

mbupc is so close to being finished now. it still feels unreal to say that. the game runs beautifully. linux support is done, leaderboards are done, and now we just need mac support. if anyone out there is willing to help with mac support, it would mean everything to me. this game has been a big part of my life, and seeing it working on pc with leaderboards was emotional for me.

i wrote a long post a while back about why this game means so much to me, and i'll share it soon. the short version is that its physics and movement hit me in a really personal way. the way the marble feels and reacts to the world taps into something deep for me.

and honestly, i just wanna finish this last thing so i can breathe again. once mac support is in, we can release mbupc to everyone, and i can finally focus on other things in my life. these last few years have been really busy and difficult for me, and having all of that on top of mbu makes it hard to focus on anything else. this is the last thing the game needs, and i really wanna get it out before the end of the year.

if you have experience with mac builds or you know someone who might, i'd really love your help. it would mean so much.

and if anyone out there is experienced enough to port it to android too, that would be incredible. it's more work than linux or mac, but it's doable if you know the platform well. we get so many mac and android users downloading the game, and it sucks when they find out the current build is windows only.

if you're willing to help, please reach out to me by email, twitter, or discord. and if you start working on anything, please keep it private. it's not code i want public, so contact me directly instead of posting it anywhere.

thank you to everyone who's supported us so far. it means a lot
