Hi Guys,

This is my first time attempting to deploy a game onto MacOS or deploying a game in general using RPG Maker MV.
I created a very brief demo to my game on RPG Maker MV on windows and deployed the game for MacOS and tranferred the files unchanged whatsoever to my Mac. At first I would get an error saing "The program Game.app cannot be opened" After extensive research I figured out how to run chmod +x and did so and once done the pop up wouldnt appear anymore. Now however the game does open as I see the icon appear on the dock however no windows for my game open up.
Has anyone dealt with this before an if so can you please help me out??
Thank You

This is because Apple wants you to make games for their OS on their system, so usually making it on Windows then transferring it over will not work. You *might* be able to find a workaround, but the best way to fix it is to make the game on the MAC version of RPGMaker and deploy it from there.

All I can say is that a while back, I tried to deploy a Mac version and it worked perfectly fine (I deployed it from a PC).

Unfortunately I can't say much else to help you; I just know that it can work without any extra steps.
