I didn't expect to actually tear up but here I am, teared up
Lovely short game, beautiful narration.
Probably the fastest a game has brought me to tears (in a good way!)
Thank you so much for making this <3
Hi, I just played on Mac (Mojave, KB+M version) and had a bit of trouble figuring out how to pause the game to change options and see controls. Seems that although both Esc and P are supposed to pause, the game wasn't responding to the escape key.
Hey, sorry I didn't trust you, but...I checked and your game actually does run on Catalina! People just need to download and launch the game via the Itch app, instead of the website. This is true for many games right now. For some reason, Catalina doesn't seem to be able to unzip certain files properly.
This game is cute! I like everything about it (and I really like the name of the pigeon)!
NOTE: If you have a Mac running Catalina, the game unfortunately won’t work - this is an issue with Catalina being very restrictive on what apps it will allow to be played on your computer.
I thought that was a matter of Catalina not supporting 32-bit code. Does this game use 64-bit binaries? AFAIK that’s the only barrier new to Catalina (though quite a bothersome one).
I’ve been trying to figure out exactly what the issue is, the game uses 64-bit, but I don’t have a Mac with Catalina to test and I’ve had some people not be able to run it at all and some people be able to run it fine so my guess is it’s a permissions thing on the user side.
Ah. I’d offer to help test, but I haven’t upgraded to Catalina for exactly this reason (I’m still on the previous release, Mojave).
I found that you can open terminal and run
and then just run the game normally
I think this game would be cool, but I need subtitles because of my hearing. Let me know if there is an update.
Hello! I have uploaded a new version of the game with subtitles - I hope it helps!
what a sweet game!! i really enjoyed playing it :-]
I've tried a few times to run the Mac version, but I just get 'This app can't be opened', which probably indicates some permission problems, or a corrupted zip archive. I've tried unzipping it with tools other than the standard OSX archiver, but it still doesn't work.
Hello! Are you running Catalina on your Mac? If so, that’s because Catalina has very strict permissions for unverified apps. There’s a workaround here, although I can’t verify if it actually works because I don’t have a Mac. If you’re running an older OS than Catalina, can you let me know what you’re running and what specifically the error message says and I can try to troubleshoot?
Nope, this was on Mojave. Also that was the exact (and very unhelpful) error message 'This app can't be opened'. I don't believe this is the usual key signing error you get for unverified apps, because that has a 'because the developer couldn't be identified' on the end of the error. This error, which I've had before from itch games, usually means something needs to be set executable, but isn't
Interesting. I've done a bit of research on this and the only thing that keeps coming up is something telling me to run chmod to set it as an executable but I can't do that on a PC. I'll rope in a friend who has a Mac and see if I can figure out the problem from there!
Got it. You need chmod u+x on Homing1.1_Mac_KBM.app/Contents/MacOS/Homing
Then it runs. The app bundle itself is already executable, but I that file needs to be as well
Thank you! I think this is unfortunately something I can't fix in the build, not sure why building to Mac from a PC in Unity is so touchy but alas.
I miss some subtitles (english is not my first language), but i find it's a very touching experience.
Thanks. :)
Thank you for the comment! I will work on getting subtitles in the game!
