Congrats on releasing the game ~! A year is a very short time to release what looks like a polished game from the screenshots.

Just got the game to read the source code. Looks like Steam requires that I install the game in order to view the source, and that isn't possible because I am on a Mac. Hopefully some day :)



Oh wow, that's not good. We'll get in touch with Steam support and see if we can do anything about that. Would you mind dropping us an e-mail to make@something.pink so we can contact you when we sort this out?


@SingAlong thanks for the email, we responded, please check your mail.


You can force Steam for mac to download purchases that are windows only from the command line somehow...

This is for OpenMW so you'll have to change the app id of course.


Thank you, we've done a little digging and found a way to force Steam to download the depot. We've published a guide here[1] and are currently waiting for a friend with a Mac to test it.
