How to publish a game for MacOS

[Shenmue]

Hello guys, Intersect Engine is cross-platform, but does anybody know how to export a game for macOS or Linux? I tried to share the client with all the files generated when building it for a release. I also tried different methods based on the MonoGame documentation article below without success.

Package games for distribution | MonoGame Documentation

 

Any help would be appreciated

Include all of these files in the same folder as your client's exe.

Then rename the Intersect Client.bin.osx and Intersect Client.bin.x86_64 files to match your client exe name.

 

So for example in Ambardia I have

 

Ambardia.exe  (Windows)

Ambardia.bin.osx (Mac)

Ambardia.bin.x86_64 (Linux)

 

On windows I launch the .exe normally. On Mac I run the osx file. On Linux I run the .x86_64 file.

 

All the other files are a slimmed down version of mono, so by distributing these alongside your client your players do not need mono installed and it should 'just work'.

Great thanks JC, will test that out!
