This is beautiful!! absolutely love the details and subtle transitions
Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!
Hey Nice Gear Games, we are glad you've enjoyed it! Thank you for mentioning us.
Gamepad support?
I love how cute the little people are moving. It was very soothing to watch. The music is good too! And most of all, I love the pleasant sound and movement of the little people when they return to the piece of wood.
Also, the Mac app has no icon—just a generic application icon. Not sure if that's intended, though it's not a huge issue, of course. :)
Hey lamkin11, thank you for reminding us. It should be fixed by now.
Mac App doesn't work:
"The application “mac 02 windowed” can’t be opened."
Chip: Apple M1 Pro
Mac OS Ventura 13.4.1 (c) (22F770820d)
If your mac is telling you that it can't be opened it's most likely because we are not official Apple developers - there is a workaround for this - hopefully it will work if you right-click on the installer, select 'open' from the drop down menu, and then click on 'open' again when it asks you if you are sure...
hope that helps!Yep, this doesn't work, unfortunately, but I think it would open up if you were to use the itch.io launcher.
It worked! Thank you :)
I think it might work if you try to open it up using the itch.io launcher...as itch.io seems to have trouble making Mac apps executable, so the "The application can't be opened" issue happens frequently with them...I think it might be because itch.io would prefer that developers launch their applications through the itch.io app instead of by itself??
But there is also another way to get the app to work using Terminal:
First, I removed all attributes from the mac 02 windowed.app bundle by typing this command in Terminal:
Then I hit the space bar once and dragged the entire mac 02 windowed.app onto the Terminal window and hit return.
Next, I typed in Terminal:
Hit the space bar, and then I took the app's binary, which is in mac 02 windowed.app/Contents/MacOS, and dragged it onto the Terminal window and hit return.
Then the app should launch. Hope that's helpful.
Thank you for providing such a detailed answer!
