You can now play-test 0.6.0-rc3 on Mac using this tiles build:
I’m not the person who usually builds Mac binaries so I may have screwed something up. If you notice problems with the build, please file bug reports on Mantis as usual.

Gosh, when I asked in original thread I didn’t expect this kind of response. Thanks very much!

Is the non-tile (console?) version coming out soon? Also, are these the “official 0.6″ versions or are they in effect beta builds?

This is a release candidate. In essence it’s a beta version, but it’s about as close as you can get to a stable release. The new features/course of development are mostly frozen and the focus is on fixing as many bugs as possible for the first stable release for the .6 branch.

Thanks for the build, but several game-breaking bugs meant that I couldn’t stand to play it for more than a few minutes. The issues are currently disappearing off the bottom of the Mantis tracker, having not received a single response from anyone, player or developer.

I’m having problems with it on my old G3 notebook running Tiger. It comes up to a black screen with the mouse cursor rather than the intro page. If I get through character creation blind I get the familiar crawl screen, but the tiles and text are displays in incomprehensible strips of colour much like I’d expect to see if the RAM in the video card was failing. The problem is that other graphical apps work fine.
Does anybody have a fix for this, or is it deserving of a bug report?
