Hi all,

I am currently aware of a major issue that seems to only be affecting some MacOS devices, where when loading the game, the world generation does not work, resulting in no game to be had.

As a solo developer without a MacOS device, I am having to rely on third-party testing for this and so make take longer to fix than other issues.

I apologize for the trouble here. If you are using a MacOS device, I do recommend trying to demo firsthand to see if you get this bug. If you think you have any useful information that could help resolve the issue, please do get in touch.

Thank you,
Matt, Red Phoenix Studios.
