Hi.  Thanks for the feedback.

That Achievement requires more than just what you told me in order to trigger, however, if you believe this may be a legitimate bug because you did the other stuff necessary for it to trigger, please send me an email about it through: https://cattrigger.com/about-cattrigger/

(Sorry, just wanna avoid spoilers while still ensuring this achievement isn't bugged) :P

I had no idea!  Thank you for letting me know!

Thank you for letting me know.  Seems changing the text size brings back the old "test printer" I had when I first started working on the project.

Will put out a fix next update.

Are you running this through a downloaded zip file or through the itch.io app?

More information about this here: https://cattrigger.itch.io/carnivore/devlog/1550176/quick-fix-for-mac-added-read...

Interesting. Somehow you brought out an early test I did in the game that I thought I fully switched off. 

Do you know when you started seeing this?  What platform are you playing this on? 

Chapter Select will be in the next major update, available after completing the Main Story once.

Good luck with your portfolio piece!  I hope you swing it outta the park for your course!

Would you be able to detail where in the game you saved? 

Thank you! I'll look into it for into it for the next patch

Thanks for streaming my game, I'm happy you enjoyed it!

I did test every song with content id to make sure nothing gets flagged, and I always double / triple check that all songs were in the public domain or CC. 

But if you did get flagged in some way, let me know so I can remedy it.

Update:

If you extract the current version of the game into a root folder, it should work.  

However, I am going to upload a hotfix version that should solve this problem later tonight.

Update 2:

New version for Windows is up.

Thanks for letting me know.  

Try extracting it to a root folder on your drive.  Like D:/Carnivore for now.  

Or download it through the itch.io app!

I'll work on an update that may shorten some of the resource names on windows.

For a browser version? Or Android?
Android is still in development.  However, the webgl & itch.io implementation is just incompatible with the type of stuff in the game, unfortunately.

I wrote a while back that yes, Dr. Brain WILL be in 'Date Time'. :)

I sent a request weeks ago to itch.io and they never got back to me on access to CSS, so I'm not sure if there's a solution out of that, and it doesn't seem like itch.io themselves prioritizes this.

Hi, I was about to post my own thread about this.  

Itch.io already has the ability to detect links on their platform, and indicate where they are coming from.  I value comments on my page, I don't value people spamming links from malicious sources to it.  

I could even go as far as saying there should be a whitelist that a developer can control, for instance, because I do appreciate people who leave feedback via a youtube video of my work.  

But at the very least, you should be able to give developers the tools to prevent a comment of posting a link onto our comment page.  

I think Mac only keeps your last 'block app' in memory for a short period of time, so open the app again and then immediately go to the settings to check it.

If that doesn't work, it could be a myriad of things, including if you have admin access to the Mac or some other issue that I'm not aware of.  

Again, if the problem persists, you can always use Steam or the Itch.io Game Launcher.  

Mac will usually allow opening of games downloaded from either of them.

First, run the demo and receive the error again.  Then, go to your settings and under "Privacy & Security" there should be something like 'Date Time Demo' was blocked to protect your Mac.  There should be a button next to it that says 'Open Anyway' and Mac should run the app from now on without any issues.

More info: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445

However, if you are still unsure about running the individual app file, you can always play the game through Steam or Itch.io Launcher, and Mac will not block those connections.

Apple will always block apps from developers they do not have in their database.  A lot of smaller game creators don't really upload their stuff to Apple's app stores, so that's probably why Apple blocks a lot of different games you are trying to play.  

The Mac Operating system sometimes blocks unsigned apps from playing.   Please use either the itch.io launcher or adjust your privacy & security settings.  

You can also download the demo on Steam, which also works on Mac without any adjustment to privacy & security settings:

Wow, that's crazy, I'm super flattered!

I'm also now self conscious about how I draw mouths lol

Unfortunately, due to technical limitations of the webgl protocol on itch.io, the Date Time demo has to be featured on non-web hardware.  

I am trying to get an Android version working eventually.

Thank you, that means a lot!  

Hi Skeleton Dude,

I have just seen a stream where the game cuts to black and soft locks after the scrolling credit sequence.  Is this your error as well?

If so, please submit a report about what platform you played the game on, what you did that may have led to that error and also your computer specs so that I can further investigate the problem.  Thank you!

Submit it through the email form here:

Hi FoShoShot!  Thanks for playing my game.  

I took a glance at your playthrough, it seems you bumped into a fatal error near the end of your playthrough that was met to a blank screen.  I haven't seen the error at all in any testing or streams yet, and would be interested in learning more about how you got the error.

If you can, please send an email through this link: https://www.cattrigger.com/links

Describe to me your specs, OS, and what platform you played the game on and if there was anything weird that might've happened prior to that error.

Noted.  Will adjust content warning.  Thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks!  Let me know if it works or not.

Sometimes, MacOS considers Unity Apps that are not attached to an app store (such as Apple Store, Steam or Itch.io's own app) as unauthorized.  You should be able to adjust your settings so that any app can run, or download the game from the official itch.io app store.  

If that doesn't work, then let me know and I'll look into it.  Thank you!

Are you able to download the game through the itch.io app for Mac? 

Sorry you're having trouble.  What's the error?

Date Time uses an amped-up animation system that makes scenes cinematic and dynamic, but unfortunately, that system is not supported by itch.io's webgl.   

The game is available on any modern computer system, be it Mac, Windows or Linux.

Hey, thank you for playing!  Love your playthrough!  

An Android Version is in the works, but there is not ETA for it.

Be sure to check out the demo for "Date Time" - https://cattrigger.itch.io/date-time

There will be multiple endings in the full version of the game.

Thanks so much!  :D

My bad on the text, a bit of an oversight, since the option was a straggler from an older project.  

Text on the newest update has been standardized into one size for this game since its default size is integral to all the text boxes.  If the updated version still has the big text, go back to the older version you have and set it to normal and then switch, OR follow my directions on the changelog.

Sorry about the confusion, a shame the Ada notes screwed up for you on stream!

Thank you again, Goopy!  I'm happy you enjoyed it :)

By the way, I also just noticed that some parts are auto skipping for you.  I noticed it in the email section and Ada's letter especially.

That shouldn't be happening.

But I am wondering, did you adjust the size of the text in your settings?  What's your resolution setup?

Yes, sorry about that.  A fix will be coming very soon for people who try to access PETya before accessing any of the Date Time software.

Oh, I see it.  thanks for letting me know about that.  A fix will be present later tonight.
