I've had a report from one person who gets an error with the latest build on Mac.

Anyone else?

Cant even open it on Mac. (running latest software)

It's an issue with the "The_Roommate.app/Contents/MacOS/The_Roommate" file not being executable. If you run "chmod +x" on that file in the Terminal the game will launch. If you right click on the "The_Roommate.app" file there is an option to "Show Package Contents" that will give you access to the bundled files. I've seen this occasionally in other games that have Mac versions but I don't know what causes the file to not be marked as executable when the app is built. Edited to add longer explanation: Mac apps are really just special folders, called Packages, that contain everything the application needs to run. However, they show to the user as a single file. In each "package" there is an executable that actually starts the application. That file lives in the "/Contents/MacOS" folder of every Package and are usually named the same as the app name. For this game the "/Contents/MacOS/The_Roommate" file is that file but its permissions don't have the executable flag set. This means that it can't be run which, in turn, causes an error when the game starts.

Yep, same here.

I don't have a Mac, but will redo the build a little later and ask you guys to check it then.
