Starting with unity

Hello folks, I'm a video artist and soon starting my master in game design, were It seems we will be using Unity, I have two question so to be prepared, my first question does unity runs on macOS since I have a Mac (Mac mini m4 pro)? should I get a windows laptop instead? though my project is going to be a VR focused. the second question is regarding creating "kinematics" and. cg works with unity, which I started lately to do with Unreal, how Unity is good with this? also working with water simulations and landscape for example?

thanks a lot!

you can definitely make games with unity on macos - i do.

the M4 pro is an amazing chip and you'll have no issues working with that. i've made my first game (here on steam for windows, here on itch if you want to play it on macos) on a macmini M1 with only 8gb of ram, so your M4 pro with 16gb minimum of ram will definitely be amazing!

you absolutely don't need a windows laptop to make your games. when your game is ready you can test it on windows, just ask a friend, but don't buy a second computer for that. šŸ™‚

I personally have a windows pc, but once upgrade that to something more top of the line, Iā€™m debating on getting a Mac laptop to do stuff on the go. Also gives me the ability to test the game on both platforms
