Hello~

Thank you so much for making such a great game ~

I'm a Mac user, I also encountered the problem of "DiBS is damaged and can't be opened." when I opened the game for the first time, and after performing the steps mentioned in the Readme file, I found that it didn't work.

Then I searched the web and found a workable solution. 

First, right-click on the DiBS application and select "Show Package Contents".

After that, expand "Contents" - "MacOS", and find the DiBS files in the corresponding folder. For example, as shown in the screenshot.


And then, search for "Terminal" app in Launchpad. Type into terminal:chmod +x (Note that +x is preceded and followed by a space).

Click and drag this file  into the terminal. Press Enter.

 

In this case, the file of unknown type in the access is now a Unix executable, and the icon is now normal. Reopen the DiBS.app  and you will find that the downloaded program works and executes properly!

(SRY, used a translator)

hey ! had a little question about the terminal part, i don't really get what we're supposed to type into terminal ? does the terminal file you show on the screenshot appear after typing the "terminal:chmod +x "  ?

After opening terminal, type:

chmod +x

Then click and drag the file into the terminal. Press Enter, and it should be playable.

Thank you! Currently don’t have a Mac, so not sure how the game will work in there. I appreciate that you took the time to write this!

Thanks for this! I installed my copy of DiBS for the Mac using the itch.io app, which seems to get the permissions right. Took me a while to find, and I almost considered this route, but the very next message in the thread I was checking out mentioned that the itch.io app gets it right, so i just did that. It's great to see people share solutions to problems like this! Thanks for digging into the issue! You're awesome!

I'm glad it helped you =)
