1.0.4 will be the final update I support Linux and Mac FOR NOW!


Hey everybody! For anybody who wants to play UnityBlocks in the future will not be able to play the newest updates in the future. I have many reasons for this and good ones.

Reason 1: Compiling for Mac and Linux takes more time to compile and upload them to GameJolt.

Explaination: I want to release my game once I have finished adding features, patching bugs and polishing it, as quickly as possible. However, my main target platform is Windows. I do not dislike Linux or Mac, however Unity takes a much longer time to compile them and it takes even more time to upload them to GameJolt as the file size differs from Windows versions a lot.

Reason 2: Unity crashes more when compiling for multiple platforms.

Explaination: Whenever I switch between platforms for compiling, Unity HAS to reimport, recompile and all that crap to compile everything for that platform. Like I said for reason 1, it takes more time. But, I am also risking Unity of crashing while switching between platforms, wasting even more time trying to push the update out the door.

Reason 3: There are just some things that Mac and Linux can’t handle that Windows can.

Explaination: When my friend tested UnityBlocks on Mac and Linux, both of the versions either crashed after a few minutes or froze completely. I felt like that Mac and Linux, even with amazing specs, can’t seem to handle UnityBlocks as Windows can.

Reason 4: External programs are not supported for Mac and Linux.

Explaination: I want to feature of installing the game and having a launcher rather then having the game in a folder. I get to do many things that with just the game with its data in a folder just doesn’t do.

Sorry! For any Mac and Linux users that were instrested in playing and enjoying the game in its Open Alpha phase. However! I will return to supporting Mac and Linux when UnityBlocks change its phase from Open Alpha to Beta. This is just temporary!

Back in my art school days I used to ride the 710 COPSA line from Parque Del Plata to Montevideo almost everyday. This is the Marcopolo Viaggio G4 Mercedes Benz model from the late 80s, one of the older bus models that was running on the line.
