    You only have to be a mac dev to sell your mac apps in the macappstore(.app files, not a disc), you dont have to be to build for mac and do anything else with it.

    @JohnPapiomitis, you're saying I can build a game in Mac format just for local use?

    I'd like to build some of the demo GS games to Mac, just to see what the process is like. When I hit 'Publish', I have to choose various categories and settings (primary, secondary, the language of the game, etc) - it looks like the game is 'going' somewhere. Will this process really just result in a local application being built on my Mac, or is the game being filed or catalogued or published someplace else as well? I'd just like to check this before I proceed to build. Thanks.

    From my experience I believe that that isnot possible right now. Your publishing options are GS Arcade, iOS, Android, and Mac

    @jckmcgraw thanks, so if i publish for mac i cant create a standalone executable, or do i HAVE to submit to apple first before it's playable for anyone?

    Never tried you but if you do some googling there might be a way to burn the mac .app onto a disk, not sure though.

    Apple is the boss. They control pretty much everything... You have to sign up to be a mac dev (iOS is $100/yr (I don't know about mac)), and yes they have to accept it.

    For anyone else wondering how to publish to the Mac:



    And yes, you can simply drag the "published" application from where you saved it to a CD-R/CD-RW and then burn it.

    and, since you have created a stand-alone Mac app … when you published to Macintosh
    you can email it …
    of course, it only runs on a Mac.
