Haha, yeah, that's what I thought! I guess that platform is really an after-thought for them...
If I stick with Unreal I'm gonna get a Windows machine just to work on it. Might be easier to get in the right state-of-mind and not get angry by broken conventions and habits...
So, anybody knows how many people are working on the macOS version of #UnrealEngine? As a Mac user it's quite frustrating to use, as it breaks A LOT of OS conventions. On top of that it doesn't even fully quit, when calling quit. What?!?!?!

Haha, I just set up Bluesky on my phone and immediately missed my stop🚉. Maybe getting back into social media isn’t such a good idea… 🤯

A screenshot of Gibbon: Beyond the Trees. A yellow gibbon is seen throwing a pink gibbon in a lush hand-drawn jungle scene.
A screenshot of Old Man's Journey. An old man is walking across hills close to the sea in a mediterranean landscape.
A screenshot of Secrets of Raetikon. A statue of a bird is seen inside a dense forest. Various birds are flying around a magic rune floating in the middle of trees. Everything is in vector art style.
A screenshot of our first published game, And Yet It Moves. A pencil-drawn character in sketchy art style is standing on giant question marks in the middle of a colourful cave. The trippy scene is rendered in a collage art-style.
