It is time for both Apple and Game Devs to take gaming seriously.

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/apple

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • MoltenVK

    MoltenVK is a Vulkan Portability implementation. It layers a subset of the high-performance, industry-standard Vulkan graphics and compute API over Apple's Metal graphics framework, enabling Vulkan applications to run on macOS, iOS and tvOS.

  • Despite championing OpenGL back when DirectX was their main competitor, now their OpenGL support is deprecated (i.e. it works but has not had new features in close to a decade) and they're expecting everybody to switch to Metal. There exist some compatibility layers like MoltenVK and MoltenGL that were developed or acquired by the OpenGL/Vulkan group, but they do have some limitations. Apple is not helping with their development at all, either, and will not provide developer support for using them.
