    Mac Version and Updates

    Hey! So I know the game has just launched, but there are some technical problems that came up with some new features that were added right before launch. I'd like to sort them out in the coming weeks. Please be patient as I have to juggle a full time job alongside these patches. These include -Full gamepad support for the menus -Proper Windowed and Fullscreen modes -Various bug fixes I'm sorry about the problems, I wish launch had gone smoother, but I'm only one man and I need to eat. In better news, alongside this patch will be a Mac version of the game, which will include all the updates. Thank you for playing my game, hopefully I can make more of these and make them better in the future. -Seth
