You gotta make a pc build and a mac build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WAIT. new mac os x versions wont run apps unless you notarize them, so after you make the mac build you gotta notarize them, which can only be done on a mac, because reasons, so you do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">oh yeah dont forget to pay apple 100 bucks for a developer account for the privilege of making games for the 7 hipsters who play games on mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WAIT. you also released free demo versions of the game, so you gotta update those builds with the recent bug fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ok, simple enough, 4 builds, 2 of which have to be notarized on a mac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WAIT. the chinese regional publisher is gonna get your game onto the wegame store, so you have to make builds for them.
