Hey, I'd really like to play this game! I'ts my favorite style. But I can't download the mac version. On the 'download now' section I can only find the windows version. Can I download it somewhere else?

Hi, since new mac updates I started getting reports from people saying they couldn't launch the game. As I can't test this myself, I haven't built new mac versions. I'll upload a test mac build and you can give it a go for me if you like? Like I said, I can't test this myself at the moment, so no idea how it will work.

I'll get this mac version uploaded within the hour.

Okay, mac version is up. Hope it works okay, I have no idea really!

Please let me know how it goes!

Thanks! I'm downloading right now and will report any bugs I might find

I just had a report that it crashed for someone upon selecting new game. I think I know why this happened (something to do with creating save files on a mac), and should be easy to fix. If you get the same problem, i'll have an update out at the end of the week.

Please let me know how you get on!

Yesterday I played it for a while and have do say, I'm loving it! Awesome job, for real!

Yes, it was probably me, I got a file permission error when I clicked New Game, but I just moved the game to my Applications folder and everything went fine. During the gameplay I got some other bugs that I can't really understand why, but all of them was something like 'Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '< a variable that keeps changing>' of null'. Here are some screenshots:




Besides these little bugs, the game ran pretty stable and I'm still amazed by the work you put on it. The atmosphere, the lightning, everything makes me want to keep playing. Really great! Gonna play some more later and report if I find any other error.

P.S.: Is there a better place I can report bugs? I'm not sure if this comment section is the better way to do it.

Hey thanks so much for the feedback, and for going through the effort of of bug reporting! 

That first screenshot looks like the fullscreen option? When you change options there, the game saves a permanent variable. The game also saves other permanent variables depending on stuff you're doing, so I'm guessing this is the problem. I have one trick in the works to solve this, it'll be in this weekend's update so hopefully that works. We'll see.

I've just set up a discord actually if you'd prefer to use that: https://discord.gg/JKk6TbbUQu 

Alternatively, I might swap the comments section on the itch page for a categorized discussion board, with a section for bug reports.
