Cytopia: Open-source city simulator with pixel-art graphics

The mac binary is named `cytopia-osx`, but interestingly the latest OS X (Catalina) is unable to run it. Cytopia actually requires OS 11 or higher.

If you’re talking about the release on GitHub, it’s well outdated. We always push the latest version if Cytopia to itch.io and this works fine. I’m Cytopias lead dev and I’m on a MacBook M1 with latest OSX

The build from itch.io (cytopia-osx-ci.zip) doesn't run on OS X either :)

    You can't use this version of the application "Cytopia" with this version of macOS.
    You have macOS 10.15.7. The application requires macOS 11.6 or later.

The "X" in OS X means version 10.

Oh, sorry, older version of OS X. We can take a look at supporting older platforms later when the project is more matured. Meanwhile you could compile it Yourself.

It's all good. I'm just poking fun at the name of the binary but it doesn't seem to get across. macOS 11 and above is not "OS X". OS X is OS 10. The X is Roman numeral for the version number 10.

There's no real issue, sorry for the confusion and good luck with your project!

Sadly, pedantic sarcasm is the most misunderstood of the humors.

Slightly off-topic (sorry!) but have you considered testing/porting to the BSDs, especially since you have a macOS port? I'm particularly interested in an OpenBSD port. I may try cloning the repo and building it myself; SDL2 and CMake are available on that platform.

I got it from there and it crashed when launching. M1.

Can you submit a bug report on our GitHub page? I’ll gladly take a look at this later.
