After downloading the pre-alpha on mac, I found that starting the game to be quite puzzling. I do not see an application I can click on or any remotely recognizable ways to begin. Since the game is downloaded as a .rar, I used the unarchiver and got a folder named Tales of Androgyny Mac v0.1.15.1. Inside, there is a .txt named Changelog and a folder called contents. Inside contents, there is the .plist called info, and 2 other folders one named MacOS the other named Resources. (Resources had nothing) By going into the MacOS folder, I can only see a textedit document called TalesofAndrogyny... To sum it up, I can't find the game despite going through these steps, Is there something I did wrong, or is this a occurring bug for mac? Please help.

If Resources is empty, something went wrong with the download or the extraction process - there should be a jre folder, a config.json, and TalesOfAndrogyny.jar - which you should be able to run, but also that TalesOfAndrogyny file should be runnable as long as the jar exists.

Ah actually, after downloading a few more times, I got something in the resources. Just as you said, I got a config.json, jre, and TaleOfAndrogyny.jar. However, I'm not so sure how to run it (i opened it and it gave me a folder, there are files for the games, but no launcher).

Developer

Ah, no, don't open TalesOfAndrogyny.jar, just run it. And now that you have the Resources folder, you should also be able to run the TalesOfAndrogyny file in the MacOS folder.

Sorry, this is kind of awkward, but which one do i run? the TalesOfAndrogyny in MacOS folder is a .txt file, I can only open it but only a page of weird symbols would show.

Developer

It's not actually a .txt file; it has no extension, and it seems it's being defaulted to opening with your text editor. You might want to try launching either the jar or that file from the terminal. Alternatively if you try right-clicking on them you might get another option to launch them.

So I launch the TalesOfAndrogyny or the jar with terminal? I'm not quite sure how thats done..sorry for the trouble. Also when I tried to open with others, I tried to go for the terminal but it's grayed out.

I am having a similar problem, I've tried running it through the terminal and it does not run
