My PC is too weak to launch the game. Was very excited to try this as I've been following all the development progress. Can't wait for the graphics settings and optimization for lower-end PCs. You're doing a great job, Sebastian!
hope some developers who familiar with MacOS joining the project. I really love this project (How to do videos for coders, publishing game for kids)!!!
I noticed while playing that the USA has the capital city for each state as a possible destination, which made the game much harder for me, because i'm not American. Other countries only have the capital city. Loving the game so far though.
Hi! I had a suggestion; could you implement a way to access the map that doesn't involve pausing the whole game? This would be useful if you are making a long trip and want to check where a certain country is without stopping the trip in the process. You could maybe make the map translucent while in this mode, so you can still see where you're going. Thanks!
Had the same permissions issues as others here with Mac. Now running from itch app, successfully launches ~1 out of every 4 launches (crashes every other time), runs great for a minute and then freezes and crashes my Mac again. Very hopeful this can be patched
Won’t launch on my Intel Mac running 12.3.1 (Monterey). Seems to be a sandbox issue as it tries to write to /<homeDirectory>/Library/Biome/streams/public/AppLaunch/metadata
I have this exact issue, the problem can be fixed by opening the contents of the app and opening the "MacOS" folder you will find an executable, if all you see is the executable being a blank page then follow a tutorial to make the file an executable
I really enjoy Sebastian's dev-logs, and I downloaded the game to play it on my mac m1 pro. But sadly it's not working on it. Hope you can fix this soon, I'm really looking forward to playing it.
i need help. or i discovered a bug. either way here is the situation. so i get a package, i go to the destination area. i drop it. here is the problems. when i go to do the next package. it won't drop at all. so i do the third package option. still won't drop. and when the time was up. it says i got 0 packages, which means the first didn't actually drop. it just looked like it dropped.
I use a MacBookAir with MacOS and when I downloaded the MacOS version of this game and tried to open it it said it cannot be opened, I tried right-clicking too, can someone help me?
I found out the error is because the MacOS file is not an executable, I tried following a tutorial to make it an executable but it says 'No such file or directory found"
This game is awesome for its current state. It runs smooth even on max settings.
I have one bug occuring when having more than 3 destinations on the top of the screen. When more than 3 show the rest kind of overlaps the one on the left. Thats really it though for the bugs, pretty impressive!
This is not really a bug but more of a quality of life change but make the countries more visible at night, im still having difficulties seeing the outlines. It is better than it was before, just needs a bit of tweaking i think.
I also have a few suggestions:
- A sightseeing speed that is even slower than the slow speed, this is to give the player the chance to take a really good look at the map and their surroundings.
- For the map view, add scroll to zoom instead of having to press a button. This makes more sense since you would scroll to zoom in and out.
- Im not sure if this is a planned feature but customizable keybinds would be a really nice thing to have, maybe even controler support.
- A global esc. Say, your in the map view and you want to exit out of that you can press esc and it would bring you back to the game. Then when you press esc again you open the games menu.
- I think you mentioned this in the latest video (02.04.2022), a game quality option to toggle between different quality types (low, medium, high, ultra high).
I think thats it for now...
I really enjoy playing the game and would love see it develop. It has a lot of potential!
Aw inspiring game. Some ideas for future features!
Leaderboard - It would be fun to compete with people in my country or even globally. If you eventually sell on steam, you could integrate your friends scores' there. If you're interested in collaborators , let me know , this is something I have some experience with :)
Multiplayer - A huge project, but it would be awesome to compete with my friends in trying to get the highest score.
Difficulty Settings - It would be fun to have an extreme mode where you don't get access to the world map or compass. You'd have to rely on geography alone.
New planes - Perhaps your score could be converted into money and you could use money to buy new planes. Some planes could go faster then others, some might increase the money earned per package, and maybe some could unlock holding more packages.
Some sort of progression - This ties into the new planes thing, but I wonder if you could start with a plane that can't go very fast at all , but it limits you to cities in Europe. As you upgrade your plane , you get access to countries farther away which mean greater travel distances and therefore greater profits.
The shaders are not working properly. I tried to play it in windows and it was dark permanentely, no matter how much I fastfowarded time this was as bright as it became, and it lasted a few seconds before going pitch black again; also there were no city lights so it was virtually unplayable.
The same for me on Ubuntu 22.04. Everything seems to work fine until I drop a package, then all text disappears from the screen. Even the text in the pause window.
i know this is a stretch to request a feature already but how about adding a country specific mode with an enhanced map of a particular country and way more cities of the particular country?
I'm so glad to finally be able to play the result of this amazing video series! (even though it runs around ~20 fps on my decrepit old macbook 😐 ) It's a very technically impressive and decently fun game.
My #1 request would be having a daytime-only mode for more "casual" players who just want to learn countries. Or at least have an option for a brighter, less physically correct nighttime. It's just SO hard to see at night!
Also the arrow indicators for drop/pickup are kind of hard to see at a glance, especially for those with visual impairments. Larger arrows with no circular outline would be nice 🙂
What a fantastic game! I've spent wayyy too much time playing this but I'm beginning to learn some of the smaller Central American and Western African nations now. I still have a long way to go learning the different 'stans. I will admit that a few package recipients have had to swim for their parcels. Sorry to the recipients in Jamaica and Tonga.

Oh, the game is superb and perfectly minimalistic! It is awesome if you need to chill out.
Thank you!
I'm really confused why Sebastian removed the Mac version of the game.
Scroll down and see the Mac complaints.
Loving this!!! I can't describe how much I have waited for this.
On Linux (Mint 20.2), it works great all the way until you deliver the first package, and then all the letters disappear.
Loving the music, the map, and the minimalistic playable mode.
Did you run into any issues getting it to work on linux? Im on ubuntu 20.04.1 but just get this when trying to run it:
```

Oh, yes, but the I run the game using the itch app and it works without any problems. Well except for the bug but no more lunching problems :D
hope some developers who familiar with MacOS joining the project. I really love this project (How to do videos for coders, publishing game for kids)!!!
I noticed while playing that the USA has the capital city for each state as a possible destination, which made the game much harder for me, because i'm not American. Other countries only have the capital city. Loving the game so far though.
Crashed my M1 mac, in the process undoing all my unsaved files.
Ruined my whole day.
One thing about this app is that after the mac restarts, the app is still open, so there is this loop of crashes which is hard to escape.
Mac users beware this app is more dangerous than some viruses.

I'll look into it!
Same here with me! My mac completely shuts off! Nevertheless, I don't regret supporting a creator!
This game looks amazing, however, it lags so much I'm unable to change the settings to where I am able to run it decently on my Mac
Won’t launch on my Intel Mac running 12.3.1 (Monterey). Seems to be a sandbox issue as it tries to write to

The thing is that even when I follow the tutorial, Terminal says "No such file or directory found"
same :(
make sure you're in the right folder
you can do this by right-clicking on the application in Finder and "show package contents"
then navigate to Contents -> MacOS and you'll find the executable
now type "chmod +x " in terminal (don't enter it yet), and drag and drop the executable from Finder to the terminal
after that it should work
Really nice idea. The Game is sadly freezing when running on my m1 MacBook Pro
same here
I really enjoy Sebastian's dev-logs, and I downloaded the game to play it on my mac m1 pro. But sadly it's not working on it. Hope you can fix this soon, I'm really looking forward to playing it.
I was very excited to test out but it doesn't launch on my Mac mini :-(
If you downloaded the game from the itch app it should work. Otherwise when I tried downloading off of the website I would not work.
Kinda weird on mac
Absolutely brilliant game. Im loving it so far, one of the best things is that it's educational but still fun to play.
Playing on version 1.01 on macOS the rather charming music seems to have vanished.
i need help. or i discovered a bug. either way here is the situation. so i get a package, i go to the destination area. i drop it. here is the problems. when i go to do the next package. it won't drop at all. so i do the third package option. still won't drop. and when the time was up. it says i got 0 packages, which means the first didn't actually drop. it just looked like it dropped.

same here.
Open in itch or otherwise idk sorry man
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it.
Did you try downloading from the itch app?
No but I will soon.
So uhh. Sebastian removed the Mac version for some reason...
I found out the error is because the MacOS file is not an executable, I tried following a tutorial to make it an executable but it says 'No such file or directory found"
See if the tutorial works for you:
a great game with a top-notch devlog

Keep up the great work!
Can you give hardware specifications like minimum cpu requirements
Aw inspiring game. Some ideas for future features!

macOs
ma
It keeps running like normal just very very laggy and then the plane go's forward than back like there's an invisible wall and I'm bouncing off it
Great game, took me a while to figure out exactly how it works, but once you got it it's pretty fun
I loved the first iteration but on this one the fullscreen mode seems broken, it stutters and my high-end graphic card is suffering too much..
Putting the game in windowed fixes the stuttering and power draw but makes the game laggy. I really hope you could get it fixed :(
It tried to have me download wave browser on Windows, which is a bit alarming as wavebrowser is a pop up ad service
My MacBook Air M1 crashed 4 times
My imac M1 did does the same...
I just tried out the new update on Linux, and all the text on-screen disappears after I drop a package. I love the game, it's kind of a bummer.
The same for me on Ubuntu 22.04. Everything seems to work fine until I drop a package, then all text disappears from the screen. Even the text in the pause window.
Yess same issue here. After the first package its all gone.
I love you work
I am really enjoying this game. I loved the video series, and the result is fantastic.
i know this is a stretch to request a feature already but how about adding a country specific mode with an enhanced map of a particular country and way more cities of the particular country?

For some reason I am UNPLAYABLE laggy. I'm on an imac, a one thats a few years old. Can anyone help?
The game crashes when I close the map! This game remains extremely epic though. I memorized most of the countries in Europe and Asia.
Can you also make the country borders a bit more see-able at night? I can barely see some of them.
Hey, I think a good idea would be to add a birds-eye camera toggle to make exact drops a little bit easier
I think there is
1 2 and 3 trigger different viewmodes. 1 will toggle birds eye view
Ah thank you, not sure why I didn't notice this!
What a fantastic game! I've spent wayyy too much time playing this but I'm beginning to learn some of the smaller Central American and Western African nations now. I still have a long way to go learning the different 'stans. I will admit that a few package recipients have had to swim for their parcels. Sorry to the recipients in Jamaica and Tonga.
Thanks for creating this.
