My game demo is currently only playable on PC, but I've had people ask if it'll run on MACs or Mobile as well. The site it's up at, itch.io, does allow me the options, but I'm worried that it may not work properly. Is there a difference between playing it on the different systems? Do I have to convert it somehow? I've tried to download it to my phone, but it wouldn't take it, so I guess I better question is

How do I convert my game to work on the different systems? What do I have to do?

First question: Are you using MV? If not, what engine?

With Mv you can export to mac, pc, ios and android if you're using ace i'm pretty sure you're going to have to manually convert it.

I am using VX Ace.

Is there an external program or site I have to use?

Drat.

Well, simply typing in "Convert VX Ace Mac" into Google brought up some results. Apparently, there is a program called Wine that can make a MAC system think it's a Window system. Thoughts on that? Or if there's a better conversion system to use?

While that may solve the console bit, it doesn't help much for the mobile release...

WINE basically is a "wrapper" that you run Windows programs through on a Mac, it's not a converter.

Wine should work but it won't convert the game for you it just let's you play it on a mac so anyone who wants to play your game on mac would have to download it.

Just beat the last of us 2 last night and starting jedi: fallen order right now, both use unreal engine & when I say i knew 80% of jedi's buttons right away because they were the same buttons as TLOU2 its ridiculous, even the same narrow hallway crawl and barely-made-it jump they do. Unreal Engine is just big budget RPG Maker the way they make games nearly identical at its core lol.
Can someone recommend some fun story-heavy RPGs to me? Coming up with good gameplay is a nightmare! I was thinking of making some gameplay platforming-based, but that doesn't work well in RPG form*. I also was thinking of removing battles, but that would be too much like OneShot. I don't even know how to make good puzzles!
one bad plugin combo later and one of my followers is moonwalking off the screen on his own... I didn't even more yet on the new map lol.
time for a new avatar :)
