I love the art and music of the game ! It's so charming, and though I haven't gotten to the end, yet, the concept and gameplay are (chefs kiss) .

I do have a question about the Mac build, though . Whenever I try to open it I get a message saying I don't have permission to the application . I've tried terminal commands like 'chmod +x' and 'chmod 755' along with 'sudo' but it still denies me access . Would you be able to help ?

I'm really sorry for asking here, but besides this, your game is hands down awesome and I can't wait to see where you take it next ! Cheers !

Hmm, what OS version are you using? Big Sur (11) by any chance?

Seems like I might be able to solve this, but the fix will probably take a while to be released, thanks for the heads up tho!

Yes . I'm currently using Big Sur 11.6.1, if that is any different from 11 in general . I look forward to the update, so thank you for your response ! In the meantime,  I must also give my thanks to the invention of the 'Miracle' die for making my runs possible, LOL . Thanks again !

Hello there ! Just a follow up to my issue on Mac, I actually resolved it and got it working . I just wanted to share with you how, if you or anyone else wanted to know :

  1. Download the Mac build of the game, I downloaded mine to the 'Downloads' section of my computer
  2. Open the Die in the Dungeon folder, you should see an application of the same name with a little froggy icon
  3. Right click this application and select "Show package contents"
  4. Open up the folder "Contents" that then appears
  5. Open up the folder called "MacOS", you should see a file called 'Die in the Dungeon' with the type listed as 'Document' or with a page-looking icon
  6. Leave the Finder page open for now, you'll need it later
  7. Launch the Terminal app, you can find it when you open your Launchpad and search for 'Terminal'
  8. In the terminal type "chmod +x " making sure to remove the quotes but do not hit enter yet
  9. Drag and drop the document file in step 5 from Finder into Terminal, it should show the pathing of the file
    1. It should look something like: /Users/[your computer name]/[wherever you downloaded the file]/Die\ in\ the\ Dungeon\ 1.3.1\ \[MAC\]/Die\ in\ the\ Dungeon\ 1.3.1\ \[MAC\].app/Contents/MacOS/Die\ in\ the\ Dungeon
  1. Hit enter then quit Terminal

Quick FYI for anyone else "chmod +x" basically means to make the file executable meaning the Mac can actually run the code the file contained . So now, head back to 'Downloads' on Finder and try opening Die in the Dungeon there . Hope that helps someone, have a nice week !
