Thibalryn on macOS!

I finally saved up for and bought the nessecary hardware to verify full compatablity with macOS, including for those with newer M1 devices. As a result, Thibalryn and my future games will be made available for those who prefer to play certain games on their Apple machines. Yay!



I have also made some other changes for monetary supporters:

Not only will you have the golden player ball, but now you will see golden explosions on both player spawn and death events.

In the process of updating a few things, I am transitioning from using Steam's DLC feature to the Steam Inventory Service for future Support the Developer implementation. If you are one of those who used one of the original monetary support methods, such as an outright purchase or DLC, you will still have all the same benifits plus the new effects.

The major reason for me doing all this is to better prepare for my next game's release in what I hope will not be too long of a wait. You can follow development progress of that at the following places:
