What you can download

Platform File
Windows (installer) Neo Angband Setup 0.34.1.exe
Windows (portable, one file) Neo Angband-0.34.1-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-0.34.1.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.


Fixed

  • The desktop in-place updater refused to download any release after GitHub renamed the CDN host release downloads redirect to, failing every update attempt with “the release download redirected to an unexpected host.” The trusted-host check now matches any *.githubusercontent.com subdomain instead of one specific hostname, so a future rename does not repeat this. A copy already stuck on the old check has to be reinstalled by hand once (see the README) since the broken check runs in the copy that is already installed, not in whatever is published next.
