Hey, I tried running the demo on Mac and for some strange reason my mac seems to think that it's some kind of malware. I scanned it with an anti-virus but it doesn't appear to have any sort of virus on it. However it did end up crashing on me and I was forced to abort the game. What's going on with this?

I know that Mac will warn you because it's not notarized.

I'm very interested in the crash though, did you get any error message? What MacOS version are you running and what Mac do you have?

As of now I'm using Catalina 10.15.7. I don't know if newer OS systems are able to run it but at the same time I would rather ask if that is the case in this particular situation

Here is a screenshot of the error I got when it crashed.

Thank you for this!

Thanks to your error message I found out that the game does not run when launching it by double clicking it in Finder. 

However the game will work when you download and run it via the Itch App.

(Or alternatively by running the launcher that's inside the app bundle "RotoForce_demo.app/Contents/MacOS/rotoforce-launcher" directly, for the tech savvy)

Interesting, well that's good to know and I very much appreciate you looking into this. Thanks!

is the error null?

Yep, games on Mac has to be notarized or they won’t load, most of the indie devs don’t do the notarization of their Mac build and therefore they don’t work.

What works for me is to download the Win version and open it using Wine. It works in this demo also.
