I've looked on the downloads page but there are no downloads for MacOS. Is there a port of Principia for MacOS planned or is it being worked on right now?

macOS support would be great, just needs someone with the hardware that can port it. I would be willing to but don't have any hardware to work on it. I opened an issue #144 for this a while back and wrote a bit about it.

Don't mean to bother, but are there any updates on macOS support? Recently found the game again and while I could probably get it running under Windows I would quite want a proper macOS version available.

No updates on macOS support. I don't have any Mac hardware to port Principia with, so will most likely never happen from my side unless that changes. That's about it.

I've heard that Wine (compatibility layer for running Windows programs under Linux) is also available on macOS. Running the Windows version of Principia on Linux under Wine works fine without any issues (even though the native Linux version is of course recommended), so it should work on macOS too.
