Porting to the Mac with Transgaming Cider
The Coffee Desk, a blog aimed at providing stories on various tech subjects, has a post on Cider, a series of libraries which game developers can link to so that porting to the Mac is quicker. His provides his view on this product by Transgaming along with suggestions to developers to “…remake the game for the Mac, since you’re going to make a console version that relies on OpenGL anyway…” He cites Aspyr ports of AAA games, spotlighting their work on Guitar Hero.
For now Transgaming you get a 3/5 and a hand shake for putting more games on the Mac but not quite doing it the right way
