itch.io

having some problems getting the mac version to work- i got stuck at these instructions: "3. Open the terminal. You will see something that looks like a text file. Next you will need to make sure that the Terminal is looking at the same directory as your TOUCHSTARVED download."

i didn't see the text that was supposed to be in the terminal, but instead the normal text for my computer: "Last login: Sun Sep  8 14:32:09 on ttys000

(my computer name)-MacBook-Air ~ %"

i looked within the files of touchstarved itself to try and find a different terminal type/file, but couldn't find one. i also don't know how to make the terminal look at the same directory as touchstarved. i'm not exactly a computer whizz, so i def need some help with this ^^'

i'm so excited omg!!!!! can't wait for this to be finished, i'll be cheering u on!!! think i might go n replay this actually lol :3

that's awesome to hear!!!! i'm super glad everything's coming along so well :3 good luck on finishing the rest of it!! /gen

this is awesome!!! it's really difficult to find good polyamorous representation, so this is a great idea!! in other words, i hope the game development is going well, and the whole team is feeling great!! good luck on the rest of it :D

no problem!! hope everything goes well ^^

of course!! it's version 12.6.6 :) thank you for responding so quickly!! 

hello!! so, so sorry to bother you guys, but i've found that the extended demo isn't functioning for mac(at least in my experience)! whenever i try to open the game, it gives an error message that the game "cannot be opened".

this has happened to me a couple other times with games i've downloaded, and it seems to be a different issue to the one you get where the system warns you that the game developer "cannot be verified"(which means that your system thinks it might be malware, it's usually mistaken), as with this issue, you can go right ahead and open up the game anyways. but with the "cannot be opened" error, i've yet to find a way to bypass it, unfortunately :(

interestingly enough, this didn't happen with the original demo! i'm not sure why the error wasn't present before, or why it is now, but i figured i'd let you all know!!

on a more positive note, i absolutely adored the original demo, and i'm super excited for the full release!! hope the rest of development goes smoothly :)

hey there!! sorry to bother you, but how did you figure this out? i also have a mac and the same error is coming up for me as well ^^'

i believe that the characters on the sides of everyone's profiles(except kanon, i think??) are meant to be their closest friends, or the people they trust the most!! i'm not 100% sure if this is true or not, but it seems to be the most likely answer,,,

as for the flowers, i believe that everyone's flower seems to be associated with a flower meaning- i even looked them up myself!! a majority of them seem to be pretty accurate!! some of them don't make a ton of sense(lyle's in particular, though it may relate to his friend...), though that could just be because we looked at different sources :')

please be aware that i'm not well-versed in flower meanings(though i'm interested in learning about them), so some of these might be incorrect!! feel free to correct me :)

art - bouvardia: enthusiasm, versatility, the joy of life, celebrating life, happiness, and light-heartedness

pandora - daisy: new beginnings, rebirth, love, cheerfulness, beauty, purity, innocence, hope, fun, and affection

sei - purple hyacinth: sorrow, "i am sorry." a deep feeling of sadness and asking for forgiveness

kanon - marigold: power, strength, and light that lives inside of a person. also can represent positive emotions and energy, though this doesn't seem to match with kanon's character

echo - gladiolus: strength of character, remembrance, faithfulness, and moral integrity

forte - calla lily: the idea of life and fertility, and on the flipside, it's a well-known symbol of death. this might correlate to the comedy and tragedy masks, also being positive and negative opposites, linked by forte's theatrical ultimate

cyrus - snapdragon: deception (perhaps tied to the notion of concealment) strength, and graciousness. they were historically used as charms against falsehood

lyle - asphodelus: mourning, the underworld, death, peace after death. seems a bit ironic, considering... as said, it could be related to "his friend," who i'll keep secret for now for spoiler purposes. i'll talk about it in a separate message, if requested to

on other topics, aspholdelus is quite obviously linked to the underworld, so much as to be named similarly or after the greek middle afterlife: asphodel. it was made for people that weren't particularly good or bad- average people

missy - geranium: clever minds, ingenuity. as well as happiness, good health, good wishes, and friendship. the first two seem to fit missy best

ashley - white carnation: purity, sweetness, simplicity and genuineness. as well as "expressions of pure, wholesome love"

some of these flowers(the asphodelus, more specifically), don't have a lot on them, flower meaning-wise, from what i could find, so they might have additional meanings that i missed. let me know if you find any significant ones!!
