I know my way around managing compressed files on most computers just fine, mac included. The real issue though is due to it (The Unarchiver) extracting the game as a folder and not a ".app" file, easily achieved by adding the missing ".app" part at the end of the folder's name. Your note was amusing to me.
That would be very much dependent on your system. It does not run very well on older or slower pc's since there's so many units of individual AI moving around. I can run it easily over 60fps and I don't have anything spectacular running under my hood.
Hi I would love to say that this game that you have created is just amazing and a piece of art but i am having trouble with online gameplay. I have tried playing this game online and it says connecting to master server for about 4 hours and then I can't close the application. I have to shutdown and restart my computer to reopen Para Bellum. Is there a way i can fix this or does does the online stuff incomplete or just not work. Other than playing online i'd like mention again that the effort you have put into this game is incredible and it it very realistic. :) hope you can help me.
Hey there! Thank you very much for your kind words, it truly means a lot to me :) I will take a look myself, what's going on with the online service of this game, but I can't make any promises on it just yet.
Edit: I checked for myself and I was able to connect and create online games as expected. I also checked the online analytics for the past 24 hours and saw that there were a number of players online. My only idea currently is that you might have tried playing at a time when there's more players trying to connect than what the game's online services can support. I'm running the game on top of free server so it cannot support a lot of concurrent players unfortunately. Apart from that, I'm afraid I'm unable to help you much more :(
I unfortunately can't say for sure, since I don't have an access to a wide range of hardware to test. However, the game is free to download and play so you can test it for yourself and if you want to help me out, you can tell me the results and what hardware you were running it :)
There is a client downloadable for Mac. Unzip the .zip file somewhere on your computer and run the app. You might have to give your Mac computer permission to run applications from unknown sources/developers.
I haven't been working on this game for a long while as I consider it's done. It has everything I planned to include to convey the themes and the message I wanted to put through with this game. Of course there's always room for more improvement or more features, but that being said, for me this game is ready and I'm not planning to continue its development. Never say never though ;)
I was working on another game that would follow loosely the same themes and formula. A sequel in the same IP so to speak. However work and other real life related things have kept me so busy that I unfortunately haven't been able to continue development on my own game projects for a long while.
The "Para Bellum" IP - if it can be called that, is something I hold near and dear to my heart and I definitely want to keep developing more entries to this series and I have a bunch of ideas what to do with this IP when I have more time and energy to develop my own stuff again.
I hope you and your girfriend have a good time playing my game! Thanks for contacting!
we really enjoyed the game!!! but it doesn't really have any content (i know it's designed that way)
these are my recommendation at least for your next project....
1. the ability to sprint
2. the ability to distinguish your enemy and your allies
3. the screen shaking to much when a bomb explode
4. ability to choose different guns
5. More Optimization... i have a medium end pc but sometimes it lags i hope there would be an option to change graphics inside the game
and lastly like I said it is fine if you don't update this game anymore it's fun so me and my girlfriend are gonna play your other games because it is sooooo good so keep it up!!!
I'm looking forward to seeing more games from you!!
Thanks for your feedback, awesome to hear that you enjoyed! That's what keeps me on developing games, hearing from people like you that my effort has brought joy for someone. You'll be glad to hear that I have already taken pretty much all of the point you raised into action with my next game :) You can actually turn down the screen shake amount in the settings already. I think the amount of shake is also dependent on the game performance so it might be too much on some systems and better on others.
You just made my day with your encouraging comment! :)
Make sure you download the correct executable. The one for MacOS. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm unable to help, as I don't have a Mac computer myself. Hopefully you get it solved!
so if you cant open it using admin pass and such do this. Download the game. go to the .app file of the game. right click and view its properties. you should see a folder called content. copy that folder. after that create a folder called anything you want but with the .app extension ex. Game.app. go to the properties of that application you made and paste the contents folder in there. Run the app and enjoy.

Please, remove the bombs is very boring, it takes all the strategy out of the game
nice game.
but recommend you to try Brass Brigade here on itch)) you will like it)
i don't know why but for me the mac build extracts as a folder
download an app called "The Unarchiver" and open the downloaded file with it
note: the file goes into trash when downloade

Easy Red 2 > this
I don't really care for comparisons, but Easy Red 2 looks like a nice game.
i feel like the game is running on 15fps. other then that the game looks fun

well i have a Hp stream laptop 11 with intel celeron prosessor and 1.68 gb of available ram and most good games cant run
i tried playing it last night and i got a steady 2fps so i would recommend to play it on a systen that is good
i tried it on the Dell Optiplex 3020 with i3 processor and 4 GB of RAM and it ran well
Huh, well that's a shame :/ Thanks for trying and letting me know!

There is a client downloadable for Mac. Unzip the .zip file somewhere on your computer and run the app. You might have to give your Mac computer permission to run applications from unknown sources/developers.

Hi, there!
How do I install this game on a MacBook Pro running Big Sur? Xcode wasn’t able to open the project ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Thank you for your help.
Make sure you download the correct executable. The one for MacOS. Other than that, I'm afraid I'm unable to help, as I don't have a Mac computer myself. Hopefully you get it solved!
I am using Mac on Big Sur and it worked first time
so if you cant open it using admin pass and such do this. Download the game. go to the .app file of the game. right click and view its properties. you should see a folder called content. copy that folder. after that create a folder called anything you want but with the .app extension ex.
