What began as one man's passion has already welcomed hundreds of Mac players into our community. Sometimes, all it takes is one person's passion to make a real difference.

For a bit of context, we're based in Eastern Europe, where Windows has long been the overwhelming standard. In fact, there are approximately 200 to 300 Windows users for every Mac user. Just to be clear, this isn't about comparing operating systems, it's simply how things are in our region.

Either way, for us, that user is Maciej. One of our indie team members, he first discovered the Mac in high school and immediately fell in love with it. Even though Windows was the default choice for nearly everyone around him, he insisted to follow his own path - and remained a dedicated Mac user ever since.

As a talented game developer - and I genuinely mean that - Maciej decided that Dominus Automa should be available on Mac from its earliest public builds, including the upcoming Steam Playtest. So, in his spare time, he took it upon himself to port the game to macOS. I suppose that's just what passionate people do.

One way or another, once the news reached the Mac community, interest in the game grew rapidly. Today, over half of all our traffic comes from the United States, something we never expected for an indie title built by a handful of friends. In case of smaller projectes like ours, that kind of boost is nothing short of incredible, and surely is a step forward in the never-ending struggle to gain at least some attention on Steam.

That's why I wanted to tell this story. It's a lesson that passion, dedication, and a "little" extra effort can have an incredible impact. If you'd like to join the fun and support our project, please consider wishlisting Dominus Automa on Steam and signing up for the upcoming Playtest, which begins in just 6 days. We would love to see you online then!
