Mac Support
While preparing and testing the 3.2.1 patch, it has come to my attention that the game has become unstable, if not completely unplayable on certain versions of Mac operating systems. For that reason,
Mac support is suspended indefinitely.
I'll level with you all here for a minute - we were lucky to be able to release the game for Mac and Linux for as long as it was out there. A few months ago, the Linux builds became unpredictable, and now, I'm finally seeing that the Mac one has joined it. I'm not using a traditional engine in the creation of CoA like Unity or Unreal where I can code around and dig in and see what's going on. RMMV is an... all in one good luck to those who use it kind of endeavor. I work to create the game and updates on a windows desktop from which i export both a Windows build and a Mac build. For a long time, the mac build work. I can't say for sure when it stopped working since there were no reports, but I can confirm that as of today the project doesn't open at all. This -might- be because of when my version of RMMV stealthily updated from 1.5.1 to 1.6. Since I don't know when that was, I don't know how much of the project I would have to recreate from scratch in order to reincorporate Mac going forward.
The short version of this: At some point in time, both the Linux and Mac exports from the engine broke. Windows support will continue for the time being with the schedule discussed a few weeks ago, but Mac and Linux will no longer receive updated builds. I'm very sorry about this. If my understanding of Steam is correct, your key is still good to download the game on any windows machine or any virtual Windows OS with Steam on it.
I'm very sorry about this issue. If you have any suggestions, feel free to reach out.

1. When the game is in its "completed" phase, I'll make all attempts I know how to in order to also port the game to both Mac and Mobile. Since these methods are very time consuming, they aren't worth attempting until production on the project comes to a close.
