Dear players,

First we want to address our warmest thank you to all of you for the incredible reception you gave Dawnmaker! We’ve received a ton of great feedback about what you liked and what was frustrating to you, and this is really heartwarming. We’ve spent 2.5 years of our lives working on this title, finally seeing people from far away or close by playing the game and enjoying it is the best feeling. ❤️

On to today’s update: we’re very happy to announce that Dawnmaker is now available on MacOS! We hope Apple enthusiasts will enjoy playing on their favorite computer. Let us know if you have any problems with the game!

Note that the game is not notarized, so you’re on your own to launch it. Sorry about that!

As I mentioned, we also received a lof of feedback about what was frustrating in Dawnmaker. Today we’re releasing a first update that addresses many of these frustrations. Check the full changelog for a comprehensive list of what we changed.

• Added an option to switch from fullscreen to windowed.
