Mac version of the game freezes when using alt mouse keys

Firstly, thank you so much for making this game, it looks amazing!

Unfortunately when I press "J" or "K" to interact with someone, the entire game freezes and I have to start again. This also happens if I accidentally press the "enter" key.

Hmm, I have a friend who basically does the Mac testing so I’ll see if he can replicate it. Any idea what you were doing in the game when you pressed those keys and things froze?

I was talking to NPCs in the town. I was not pressing any extra buttons. I am on OSX 10.15.5.

Just to be safe, what version of the game are you on? It tells you in the top left hand corner of the title screen. Also does this sort of thing happen if you use a mouse to interact?

Developer

Okay I think I just figured it out, and I’m pretty sure it’s just a breakdown in communication. The “J” and “K” button were added a long time ago by request. The caveat at the time was that J and K would only work with generic interactions. The reason being making the entire UI for the game function on just a keyboard is a time consuming process that I haven’t gotten around to yet, ironically I was thinking about it today.

Once you get into any sort of UI you have to use the mouse at the moment. I’ll add something to the keybindings to explain that, it’s sort of something I forgot about as it was added so long ago so that’s on me. Hopefully some time before beta I’ll finish implementing keyboard only mode.

Ok, thank you for clarifying! Once again thank you so much for this game!

Glad you are enjoying it so far (hiccups aside), sorry again for the confusion.
