Could you explain, "Despite being an iOS game 95% of development was done on PC."? Don't you need to do iOS development on a Mac?

- mkr-hn 14y agoProbably art and writing.
- robryan 14y agoIf you are programming directly in objective-c then it will likely require using a mac. iOS games are often done in things like Unity where you can cross compile to iOS and Android. For that you can get away with using a PC.
- forrestthewoods 14y agoSure. Right now our custom tech supports Windows, OS X, Linux, and iOS. I'm most comfortable in windows so that was my personal preference. That plus the Visual Studio debugger kicks the bajeezus out of Xcode for C++. Some features could only be worked on through OS X. Gamecenter leaderboards, in app purchases, analytics, and some UI bits. Some of those don't even work in the simulator and require an actual device. The windows build was missing a handful of features but none of them matter for development. No full screen, no settings, hard coded resolution config, incomplete UI, etc.
- kayoone 14y agoIn the screenshot below it looks like you used SublimeText instead of Visual Studio. Does it have benefits for CPP dev ? https://outland-live.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/media/downloads/30weeksOfOutland.jpg https://outland-live.s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/media/downlo...
- kayoone 14y agotheir game engine is probably C++. As they dont need to use Apples SDK for app specific stuff like UI elements, they also dont need to use objective-c.
