Hi papayaah!
Thanks for your comment. This is indeed an issue Mac users face when they download games outside of the itch.io client; as a direct download.
It started happening after a recent upgrade, that these kinds of apps downloaded from the internet stopped appearing in MacOS Security Settings. The fix is very simple:
(This example is going to assume you have placed your HowlingIrons_MacOS_Demo.app in your Desktop. Simply replace the Desktop for the location of your app)
- Open the Terminal app.
- Type: cd Desktop
- Hit Enter.
- Afterwards, type: chmod +x HowlingIrons_MacOS_Demo.app/contents/MacOS/‘Howling Irons’
- Hit Enter.
- Go to the location of your app, right lick it and select Open.
- A pop up will appear, click on Open.
- That's it! Enjoy your game!
This fix will help other Mac users. I will create a formal post.
Bye!
