Thrive is now officially available for macOS!

As we hinted at in recent progress updates, we have been working in the background on making a Thrive build that is fully supported on Mac. And that work has now been completed and there's a fully signed and notarized version of Thrive for macOS. This should work on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs, however most testing has been done on Apple Silicon, as that's the more likely platform capable of running Thrive well. It is possible to run Thrive on older Intel Macs, but you will need to use a lot of resolution upscaling to get reasonable FPS.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support for getting the Mac version fully supported by wishlisting on Steam with the Mac platform selected. It took a while to get this done as there's various extra costs related to a Mac version and also the time commitment that takes programming resources away from other features. The store versions of Thrive have been updated to now include this Mac version of the game. We also made a fully notarized version of the open source Thrive Launcher for Mac.

You can get Thrive on Steam or itch.io to support future development.

Thank you for the continued support.
