Would probably work better to post these as Game News articles rather than comments. Then they show on the main page.

One minor note is that we found and fixed a few big bugs today, so the build has been updated with the fixes (if you've already started playing you can simply copy your save files over and everything should work fine).

Thanks for the comments.

Actually, we've discovered that the RMVX engine doesn't appear to be Mac friendly. You may have to open it on PC if you can't start the .exe file in the folder.

I'm going to update the game details now so that they don't include mac, just until we find out whether it's a problem with the engine or not.

Cheers,

Just a follow up on this post. There actually IS a way to play RPG Maker games on the mac. You can find the details in this short post:

If anyone ends up trying it, let me know how it works for you.
