Hey, since this game has been disqualified, it doesn't show up in the GMTK 2025 GameJam list. The game is now fixed, and I was wondering if you could re-add it? Even if it isn't ranked in the end.

Alright. So I figured out that error. Needed to go through the notarization process with Apple Developer. Now it no longer says it's damaged. It does throw a tantrum on the file being downloaded from itch, but it works when you tell MacOS to run anyway.

I would try the webGL version, but I am using some shaders that require Forward+, which isn't compatible with a web release, from what I understand?

Thanks again for your patience!

Ok, I think it should be working now. Please let me know what you think!

Thanks! I appreciate it! And I'm new to game dev, so any comments you'll have I'd love to hear.

I get it, and thanks for letting me know. I fixed it a day or so later.  The problem came down to Godot not automatically including CSV files in its export. A stupid idea on their part, and as my levels are all written up in CSVs, that broke my game.

I have a working version now, and if you would be up for giving it a try after the jam, I think it's a great little game that hits on your theme perfectly.

For a working father of two, getting something like a game finished in 4 days is really tight. Didn't even have an entire weekend to throw at it, since the jam ended mid day on a Sunday. I think a week would be a more reasonable time frame for something like this.

That's life, though. I learned a lot through all of this. I appreciate the opportunity.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that. It was last minute and I exported to get something out there. It ran in the Godot Editor just fine, but it would hang on my pc. I was hoping that it was just that I had some hardware configuration error, and that it would work for other people.

I guess that's it for me with this jam. I'll upload an update when I get everything properly working, if you'd like to try it out then.

Thanks for trying and letting me know!
