LIFELIKE 1.1 is Mac Compatible!


Hello! After much effort, LIFELIKE 1.1 is now available on Mac without extra steps! What's this mean?

Because of Apple's security measures, apps downloaded off the internet are usually labeled 'damaged' and won't run without some fiddling in the terminal, which is extremely inconvenient for the end user. This is called quarantine, I use a Mac and deal with it often.  In order to make sure LIFELIKE no longer quarantines on Macs, I notarized the app through the Apple Developer program and ship it as a disk image to make sure it ends up in the user's Applications folder. Once run, it will now show a simple "you got this on the internet, run it anyway?" prompt which has a yes or no option, unlike a quarantine, which will not allow the app to be run at all. 

What do Mac users need to know?

  • You must download a new copy
  • You must be using OSX 10.7 or above
  • LIFELIKE must be in your Applications folder, the installer will prompt you accordingly
  • You may eject the installer once the app is in the Applications folder
  • Save data should carry over once new updates release, though no data saves between tracks, so do not be worried about missing content by installing the new version
  • The demo available on the landing page is unfortunately built in an older version of GameMaker Studio 2 that I cannot notarize without a significant amount of work. For now, it will still be quarantined. Please follow this guide if you want to play the demo. 
  • I plan on releasing future tracks with Mac capability on launch day with the Windows version. I will update on this as Track 2 development ramps up!

Thank you for your patience! I'm very proud to release this version, I hope you enjoy!
