Breaking the PC Wall: Manticore Games Takes Core to iOS and macOS
Guess what, game devs? The once-only-PC tool Core is finally stepping into the mobile and Mac arena this summer. If you lived in a PC‑only bubble, it’s about to pop.
The Core of the Matter
- Built on the Unreal Engine, Core makes creating games as smooth as butter.
- It’s free to download, so no need to break the bank for cool projects.
- Now launching for iPads, iPhones, and macOS in addition to Windows.
- First‑year mark hit — the developers are celebrating with a full expansion!
Why It Matters
When Core arrives on Apple devices, you’ll be able to team up with Windows players seamlessly. Think of it as a cross‑platform party where everyone’s invited, no matter the operating system.
What To Expect
Expect a similar user experience across all platforms, minus the heavy PC hardware. The app will support all the core features you love and probably drop some fresh iOS/mac touch-ups.
Heads Up
Keep an eye on your app store and Steam — Core is set to drop this summer, and beating the hype trains is now in your hands.
Getting Started with Core: What You Need to Run It Smoothly
Before you dive head‑first into the endless universe of Core, make sure your gear can keep pace.
Desktop & Laptop Power‑Up
- RAM: 8 GB – 4 GB will feel like trying to run a marathon on a treadmill.
- CPU: Intel Core i5‑7400 (or a comparable AMD model). Think of it as the brain‑food that keeps everything humming.
- GPU: NVIDIA GTX 1050 Ti or an equivalent. If it’s not there, Core might feel like a paper in the newsstand.
Mobile & Mac Compatibility
- iPhone: XR or newer – they launch Core without dropping a beat.
- Mac: 2016 models and later – no lag, no tantrums.
Slide that setup into your workflow and you’ll glide through with no hiccups. Happy coding!
