Good installers for Mac

[JAD94]

Hey everyone! I have a quick question here!


I have already deployed a Windows version for my project and have an installer for it (so when the player downloads it the installer installs it onto their PC). Now, I was wondering if anyone knew any good installers for the Mac version of my project. Thank you

Installers are uncommon in the mac-world. You will get an <game>.app folder when you deploy your game for osx, just zip this folder up and share it. Since you can't create a dmg-file without a mac, that is the easiest and most accepted way.

Thank you! I figured zipping the folder would be the best bet since I can hardly find any other forums or sites relating to this question haha!


Also, since you seem to know alot about Macs, when my friend downloaded the MAc version for my deployed project, he was unable to save his game ( yet the windows users have no issue). Any thoughts?

Probably a rights-issue. Unfortunately i have no idea where the save-games are stored on the osx-version. I own a mac and have no problem saving in mv-games.

Ah ok, I had a feeling. I found a plug-in on the forums that fixes this issue for anyone else who may have this issue:
