Demo - 1.0.0


The Highlighters demo is here!

####################

For MacOS Users only running development builds:

Essentially what's happening is MacOS blocks or quarantines applications if they're not downloaded from the app store or a certified publisher (which we are not yet). One main solution for this is to allow ALL apps to run from unknown publishers, which I think is a little risky just to run our game. Another solution I've found removes this quarantine "attribute" that MacOS applies to foreign applications.

The command is as follows: 

sudo xattr -rd com.apple.quarantine ./[PATH TO APPLICATION]/Highlighters.app;

It's a fun spin on the panel formula, I've been enjoying this so far

I'm looking forward to trying this demo out! But I ran into an issue with the Mac version: When I try to run the .app, it says it's damaged and can't be opened.

I'm on 12.3.1 (Monterey) and using the Apple M1 chip.

Same issue, but on a 2012 MacBook Pro intel. Looking forward to trying it out and hearing the killer soundtrack!

Sorry to hear the trouble! In the dev log above, we added a command to be entered in a terminal that should remove a flag that Mac OS applies to unverified applications. 

Additionally, the following tutorial shares a visual guide on removing this.

Let me know if that works, and in the meantime, I'll see if there is anything I can do on my end.

Thanks for helping out. I tried running the command on the 1.0.0 and 1.0.1 versions of the game. While it did fix one of the errors, it still won't run.

Here are the errors it gives when I try running the app before running the command:


After running the command, only this error appears:


I looked up other potential fixes to this, and nothing seems to be working. For what it's worth, the app never shows up in the Security & Privacy panel of my system prefs as I might expect.

Unfortunate.

It seems that this is also the case for other developers on itch that have not signed their applications through Apple.

However, I do believe the game runs perfectly through the itch desktop app. Give that a shot, and let us know if it works!

This worked like a charm. Thank you! Loving the game so far!
