Notes on Mac Build


Greetings,

A Mac-using source sends on this tip: since the game isn't signed for Mac, to run it you may need to`chmod +x AnthologyOfTheKiller_MAC.app/Contents/MacOS/Anthology\ of\ the\ Killer` to make it executable first, then right click and open it. If you are unsure whether it'll work then try it on the free releases which also have mac builds!

Thank you,

Stephen

running it windowed and manually dragging it bigger seems to help with the screen cutting off

i'm also having an issue with the bottom of the screen being cut off , even in windowed mode - any chance of a fix?

thanks for flagging! yes, i'm away from desk the next day or two but will look at this as soon as i'm back!

hello, and sorry for the wait getting back to you! could you tell me if this is for all resolutions? does playing in 4:3 help?

(1 edit)

no worries at all!!!! i took a look and actually all of the 4:3 resolutions work fine, it appears this issue is only with the 2560x1440 option which is the only one that launches in 16:9.

ah, thanks for checking! as you can probably tell it wasn't developed with widescreen in mind, haha. i'm looking at putting together a fix for the mac command line issue and will hopefully be able to turn off that 16:9 option for new builds, just as i think it's caused some issues and it's something i can't test myself!

totally understood, i'm just excited to find that i can play the game now after all! will be switching to a lower res and enjoying this weekend for sure :) indie development for macs is just getting more and more arduous so i appreciate you putting the project out on mac os at all!

the good news: it works after chmod!

the bad news: i think the bottom of the screen is getting cut off?

thanks for flagging this! i'm away from the desk for the next day or two but will take a look at it and applying the fix as soon as i'm back!

hey there, sorry for the wait! could you tell me if this is for all resolutions? does switching to 4:3 help?

i actually don’t have any other resolution options if i’m on my macbook - although, i noticed running it on an external monitor does give me a full list
