Hey! Ooooh it sure is, hahahahaha! =^_^=

not 100% sure what you mean, but fullscreen is implemented in the itch version as well. Steam has an updated version that you can adjust more flexible :) So you can have it as a tiny window and also in fullscreen. Hope this helped!

We unfortunately only update this version every couple of month. If you want auto updates you'll have to use the steam version. We would love to notify users here, but we don't know how. Any ideas how other games do this?

yes but this will unfortunately only be added to the steam version :(

we have added this feature in the recent steam version :) might take a bit till it comes to itch. but we're on it!

There are threads here describing how to set it up on Chromebook with linux :)

yeah unfortunately we are not mac devs so we have no idea with some of the bugs on mac :/ Steam fixes a lot of that... it's not ideal, but a way to get the app to run :)

Not at the moment. The steam version has a bigger resolution... we'll update the itch.io version sool.... probably.

Happy to hear that <3

Nope not us. But we are aware of this game since it launched ^^

Thank you so much for making this! After getting used to the controls the tool is a lot of fun and it helped me brainstorm a couple of ideas I had for my island :D

Hey natnat3141,

sorry you are having issues with the game. We are currently not aware of any mac issues on Steam (we had crashing issues on windows though, which was fixable via deleting specific files: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1369320/discussions/0/3104642254789738591/ )

We currently can not reproduce the issue you are reporting, so it's hard for us to find a solution in your case right now. We'll continue looking and poke some ppl we know, so maybe they can help us find a way.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Glad to hear that <3

At some pont yes, but it will take a long time. This is a hobby project and I'm still learning coding while I develop. Also I have to figure out how to design it so the user doesn't get access to the raw music files :)
I never expected the app to blow up in such a way haha

Hey meccaroon and Melange Co.

We finally spent some time trying to figure out the issue. Apparently Mac doesn't let you execute files if you're not on an admin account.

We uploaded a second version of Virtual Cottage that has the permissions tweaked in the .app file. However this will get you another error, because we aren't certified Apple developers.

But by continouisly holding the ctrl key and clicking open on the apps menu, you can force the app to open. Detailed instuctions can be found in the description at the top of this page. Unfortunately there is no clean workaround for this.

The only other option would be to get the app via steam, since steam takes care of the permissions nonsense.

fixed! sorry about that. you can download the 1.5.4 now and it should work as intended :)

oh no! which version are you using? we'll take a look right now :D

Hey! We are working on a fix :) It could be that the apps permissions aren't set correctly. So If you're not the admin you can't open the executable. This should be fixed in the 1.5.4 Update

Hey! Yeah the 1.5.4 version will be out soon :)

hey! Could you let us know which OS you are using?

Sorry for the late reply! Let us know if you still have this problem with the most recent version

Probably not for a while, since this was the first code I ever wrote in Godot :') and its a mess.

Maybe once the project is further in it's development and I feel more confident about what I'm doing

That Option will come in a future update. As for now in the 1.5.4 Version the song signals is removed for now. itch.io Updates always lag behind steam updates :)

Yes but Updates are a bit slower here, since we usually try to fix all minor bugs after we release for steam. However we always try to have a running version on here for ppl who don't want to use steam

it seems there is something wrong with your save file. Could you try deleting the whole Virtual Cottage Folder from your steam apps and downloading it again? Sorry for the inconvenience :)

Which OS are the two of you using? :) 

Maybe, but we're still trying to work out how to add them so the app doesn't become a distraction ^^

Mac is unfortunately always our problem child >.<. We just uploaded a new version on here, let us know if this works. If it doesn't the game is also on steam for free with a working Mac version.

Thanks so much! My partner and me were using Clickteam Fusion before, but the jump from Visual Scripting to using coding in godot was difficult.
That's why I mainly did a project that utilized the ui components like buttons and such :) But it's getting more complex with every update so let's see how far I can take this.

(1 edit)

yay <3 thanks so much for your comment

We were planning a little list which allows you to write doen 3-5 tasks and cross them off. We just need to rework the UI before this :)

Haha sorry about that! We want to add different options for the end tone in the future, a gong is a nice idea!

One user here on itch wrote "try moving the app to a different folder and then running it" maybe that will help you?
It works on our Mac so we're a bit lost on where to troubleshoot :D

We don't have any way to test that at the moment :0

What :0 oh no. The game is also on steam for mac, could you check if it works there?
So far we've had no report of the mac version not working. We'll investigate :)

Hi!

We got it running on our MAC. Since we only have one test device, it's hard for us to verify. 

Oh! Thanks. We'll try that for Linux then :D

Hey! We just released a mac version!
