ZFG Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Just like the title said, is there any fan game tools out there for the mac? That works like MMF or GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypersonic645 Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I think someone's porting Game Maker 7 to a Mac. It's on youtube though...no download either (I think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSF Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Well, MMF2 works well on Wine, so maybe Mac's Darwine could work with it too. Or you could make a virtual machine with XP and install the programs there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 Game Maker is coming to the Mac with Game Maker 8 I'm almost positive. It will be out by the end of the year so just hang tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally wouldn't recommend using a virtual machine. I tried it once and it was painfully slow. If you want to use windows, I'd personally recommend setting a 10gb or 20gb partition and dual booting windows. Thats what I've been doing, and it works perfectly.

I don't think that is what he's asking for. He wants a native Mac program that will produce Mac games. If he did that, it would still produce exe. So yes, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until a Mac release for one of these programs. We'll update when it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 If you have a Intel mac and Mac OS X Leopard, your good. Just use Boot Camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Emerald Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 I think ProSonic is supposed to be based off of MMF's scripting system, although when I checked it out, it was working in a C-like script. If you want to try that out, I know the creator just released the engine for Mac at this year's SAGE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Currently existing? None that I know of. Currently being worked on? There's Stencyl which is supposed to be somewhat of an alternative to GM/MMF, but there's no release date in sight and hasn't been one for the last year or two or three that it's been announced. For now I think you're probably out of luck unless you know enough programming to use SDL. Game Maker is coming to the Mac with Game Maker 8 I'm almost positive. It will be out by the end of the year so just hang tight. Considering how heavily designed around DirectX and Windows Messages Game Maker is and how tight-lipped they are about the hyper-delayed port, I'll believe it when I see it.

Techokami Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 How about something like this? If you know how to build stuff from source you can get it for free via their sourceforge SVN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeltaSpeeds Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 While not particularly designed for 2D games, you might want to take a look at Blender. Blender has a 3D game engine that runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. While it's designed to make 3D games, you could make 2D games if you want. Blender also has a huge forum and lots of support. You might want to take a look at the Blender artist forums when you find the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know how to build stuff from source you can get it for free via their sourceforge SVN Ive been taking a look at power game factory, and Im impressed. The user interface is actually really good. Might give it a little bit more. To bad its only Platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally never used it, it was shown to me by someone looking around for open source game creation IDEs in hopes of finding a good one that is/can be ported to Linux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Taxman Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 There's also GameSalad http://gamesalad.com/ It's free, so it can't hurt to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sslaxx Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Were you able to get anywhere with LÖVE, ZFG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Sslaxx, I don't think LÖVE is exactly what ZFG meant when he wanted an alternative to GM or MMF ( in terms of interface and the way you actually can program stuff/put things together in any case ).
