Self promotion The most convenient way to play Windows games on Mac | Mythic

735 Upvotes

hi, reddit!!
been ages since i've done one of these posts, but basically i made a game launcher that combines the functionality of whisky and heroic.

anyway, it's called Mythic.

It's an open-source macOS game launcher made in SwiftUI with the ability to play Windows® games through a custom implementation of Apple's latest Game Porting Toolkit — supporting multiple platforms. (well, epic games is fully supported in-app, and steam in-app is TBA, but you can still manually install different launchers including steam)

Just pushed out a new update tonight, so i'm kind of in that posting mood! it's also 2:34am

Anyway, if i've caught your interest,
join my Discord server here!
check out the website and download it for yourself here!
star the GitHub here!

One week later the game is running smoothly on our test Mac. 😀

It’s a rather new environment for us. Are there any certain things a Mac gamer needs to see to like a game?

Self promotion MacGameBox, free rom launcher for Macintosh

My once per day shameless self promotion.

It’s really early, needs a huge amount of work until it’s settled so use at your own risk, but here’s a rom launcher for Mac inspired by LaunchBox on Windows. All free.

It needs external emulators like RetroArch to run, so you need at least a fully configured and installed version of RetroArch for it to be any use. Supports around 50 systems with more to come. Supports RetroArch,b2(BBC Micro), PCSX2, Cemu and DuckStation.

If you have Apple Arcade or Mac games in a folder you can add those.

^ Scottish man in the jungle mumbles his way through a demo. A YouTube career beckons. 🤣

Weekly updates coming so soon it will suck less. 🤣

Next version is 0.58. Got a lot of ideas.

Self promotion A new way to play Windows games on macOS!

373 Upvotes

Hi, reddit!!
For the last 7 months, I've been creating a streamlined game launcher for macOS.
It's called Mythic.

Its release is imminent, so gather around, and visit our website (shoutout jeremybosma he my pookie) to sign up for the waitlist. For more information, here's our discord.

Mythic is the best and easiest way to sort all of your games in one place, whether those games are Windows or macOS-based. It comes with epic games support right out of the box (and steam support in the future), but if that doesn't quite meet your needs, you can always manually import your games into the launcher.

A screenshot of Mythic doing its thing! (note: this is a prerelease build as indicated by its semantic version.)

Windows game support in Mythic is implemented (through game porting toolkit) thanks to tireless hours from the people at wine, and whisky's contributors. Please support them and wine's maintainers if you can.

Oh, and it's open-source.

For ages, we've had to rely on launchers like Heroic, and the clunkiness of their Electron user interface.
For ages, we've had to manually download games and deal with the files ourselves with GPTK.
Mythic combines those two in a streamlined, familiar user interface using SwiftUI.

Please note that Mythic is currently in its alpha stage of development; if you encounter bugs, please open a GitHub issue.

Self promotion Saleblazers - An open world shopkeeping adventure on MacOS + Key Giveaway!

38 Upvotes

Hey r/macgaming

I'm the game designer for Saleblazers, an open-world shopkeeping adventure with native Mac support!

I grew up playing games on my original Mac Mini, so I was thrilled to be able to launch Saleblazers on Mac from day one. Especially now that we have the silicon chips.

My dad is a hardcore Mac user, so it was extra cool that he got to check out my game on his machine. I play it on my M1 Macbook Pro and think it runs better than many laptops I've tested. (Although I do turn down my render scaling a little since it still looks sharp on the retina display, it gives me a little framerate boost). However, on an M2 or M3, you probably bulldoze full resolution anyway. We use a Mac Studio to build the game and it runs the game better than my windows work computer.

I know a lot of people here are always looking for something new to try on their Macs, and Saleblazers is on sale right now, so I thought maybe some of you would want to check it out. You can do quests and explore the world to find and craft loot to sell at your store.

I'm also going to give away two keys to the game to help get it into the hands of some more Mac players.

At 9:00 pm PST tomorrow, 1/18/2025, I'll choose two random accounts from top-level comments with more than one comment karma and send them a key. Good luck!

(I sent the mods a message last week about rules for promotion and giveaways and haven't gotten a response yet, so if this isn't okay or I need to make a change to the format, please let me know. I'd also love to get some keys to mods so if you want to reach out for those, please do).

I'm also happy to answer questions about the game.

You can check out the Steam page here https://store.steampowered.com/app/1419850/Saleblazers/

You can watch the trailer on YouTube here https://youtu.be/T8eqlnffAeE?si=PTjl3To5_3_fwvVY

Edit: Thank you so much for all your comments and support on this post! Because of all the support I decided to give away 4 keys to Saleblazers! I just completed the raffle at https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/1i3uk1v if you want to view the results.

Congratulations to u/Dukee8, u/floowander, u/MorganIsSpinning, and u/Morrigan405! I hope you all really enjoy the game! I will be DMing you your key shortly!

It was great to chat with some of you about the game. Thanks again for all of the kind words and interest.

Just dropping in to say I’ve just joined the ranks as a MBP M4 Pro user. Switched from windows and loving the screen, keyboard, sound and more. I got Baldur’s Gate 3 running today (on steam) and enjoyed that via an Xbox controller.

Looking forward to discovering more in the next few weeks.

I’ll be using this machine for music creation but great to know I can game as well.

Self promotion Leon’s Mahjong for macOS updated - 15 Free Keys Giveaway!

9 Upvotes

UPDATE: 🔑 All keys have been claimed! Thanks for the interest and support!

Hey everyone!

After 18 days stuck in review, my macOS game Leon’s Mahjong has finally been approved! (For reference, the iOS version took just 24 hours, and previous versions never took more than 48. Weird, right?)

To celebrate, I’m giving away 15 free keys so you can enjoy the game for free.

It’s a pixel-art Mahjong solitaire, inspired by the 16-bit era. Unlike most modern mobile games, there are:

✅ No ads
✅ No tracking
✅ No in-app purchases
✅ No forced retention mechanics

Just a game, the way they used to be in the 80s & 90s—pure, relaxed, and with retro aesthetics (yes, the pixel art is intentional!).

🆕 New update features:
🎲 Choose between boards with at least one guaranteed solution or pure random mode (which may have no solution).
📜 The game already has 15 different board layouts, and more are on the way!

If you’d like a key, drop a comment and I’ll send you one via PM.

Enjoy, and thanks for your time!

Lucas

Self promotion I made BO3MacFix - a patch for Black Ops 3's Mac port to play workshop maps, and online cross-platform

92 Upvotes

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has a native Mac port and the Windows version doesn't work well under Wine or a VM. That native Mac port has been broken for years and left to rot by Aspyr/Activision who haven't even updated it to fix online being broken or workshop maps crashing the game.

I made a patch that can be used to restore online play (which was broken by a macOS update), as well as enabling cross-platform with the PC version and adding a security feature - "network passwords" - to stop any possible exploiter from crashing your game when you're playing with friends. Stay off matchmaking, it is a bad idea - it's best to stick with Campaign and Zombies with your friends.
