If there's no macOS version, it runs well using Wine

I don’t have the setup to build specifically for macOS on Intel, but I was able to use WineSkin Winery to make an macOS app for it, and it runs with no issues.

I’m using engine WS11WineCX64Bit23.7.1 with wrapper version Wineskin-2.9.2.0. No other changes were needed: only had to copy the extracted zip over.

I’m excited to see something new for Celeste, and I love this!

Sadly this method doesn't seem to work on Apple Silicon (M2 Pro). It launches and appears to have high CPU usage, so it's doing something, but no window ever appears. Maybe it's a Rosetta thing, admittedly I don't know much about how Wine works under the hood to troubleshoot. Similar thing happened when I tried to run it in CrossOver 23.7.1. :(

If anyone has any luck, please share! I'm about ready to spin up a Linux VM to try and get that version running instead, though I don't expect much if any luck.

Theres instructions for building a native macOS version on gitHub that seems to work really well for Apple Silicon (and my intel macbook pro): https://github.com/ExOK/Celeste64/issues/22

You just need to install the .net 8 sdk before trying to run it.

edit: nevermind, theres a macos build on github now too: https://github.com/ExOK/Celeste64/releases
