Neo Angband v0.28.1

What you can download

Platform	File
Windows (installer)	Neo Angband Setup 0.28.1.exe
Windows (portable, one file)	Neo Angband-0.28.1-portable.exe
macOS	.dmg, or the .zip if you prefer to unpack it yourself
Linux	.AppImage (no install), .deb, or .tar.gz
Self-hosting	neo-angband-web-0.28.1.zip - static files, any web server

The portable Windows build and the AppImage need no installer: download, run, and the game keeps its saves in a folder beside itself.

These builds are not code-signed

There is no Apple Developer identity or Windows certificate behind this project yet, so your OS blocks the first launch.

Windows is one click: SmartScreen says “Windows protected your PC”, choose More info then Run anyway.

macOS is not one click, and the dialog it shows you does not contain the way through - it offers only Done and Move to Trash. Do this:

1. Drag the app out of the .dmg, then double-click it and press Done on the refusal. This step is required: it is what makes the permission below appear, and it expires about an hour later.
2. Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security and scroll to Security, near the bottom.
3. Press Open Anyway on the line naming Neo Angband, authenticate, and launch it again.

Or, the same decision in one command: xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Neo Angband.app"

The old right-click -> Open trick does NOT work: Apple removed that bypass in macOS 15 Sequoia.

On Apple Silicon take the arm64 build. The x64 one is for Intel Macs, not a fallback - Apple is withdrawing Rosetta 2, so on a current Mac it is likelier to refuse to launch than to run slowly.

If that trade is not one you want to make, build it yourself - docs/INSTALL.md - or play in the browser, which needs no trust decision.

Your save

Saves survive an update. Every save-format change ships the conversion that reads the version before it, and a save this build cannot open is left untouched rather than replaced.

A fixes release: two keymap defects are corrected, and the Mod Builder mod is renamed to ModForge.

Fixed

• Home/PageUp/End/PageDown now walk the same diagonal the numpad digits 7/9/1/3 do with Num Lock on, matching the numpad’s own orthogonal keys (Arrow keys), which already worked either way.
• A custom keymap can now be triggered by a plain F-key (F1-F12, no modifier) or by Enter, and an action sequence can now include Enter as one of its keypresses - so a macro ending in Enter, such as the rest command R&[Enter], can be bound. Both the keymap editor’s capture prompt and the keymap resolver that fires a bound key during play now accept the same set of trigger keys, so a trigger the editor accepted could no longer silently fail to ever fire.

Changed

• The Mod Builder mod is now named ModForge, with a new manifest id (forge). An existing install’s enabled and consent choices carry over automatically.
