Hi!! I just downloaded the zip today onto my Mac, and the application isn't launching at all. I know it's not a permissions issue as all my other games from the bundle are launching correctly - could it be an issue with the update?

The issue is that anything built in Ren'py cannot be run on macOS Catalina without being notarized:

AIdol should be compatible with older mac OSes, but it won't work on Catalina.
I don't have the time or the money to notarize my VNs, so I'll just remove mac from the list of supported OSes for all my VNs.
I can’t speak to Catalina, but for the same problem on Mojave, run xattr -cr
on it in Terminal. (For the uninitiated: Open up Terminal [it’s an app that came with your Mac], type that command and then a space, drag AIdol.app onto the same Terminal window, and press return.)
I was also able to run it without doing that by launching AIdol.app/Contents/MacOS/lib/AIdol
directly.
