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.


Added

  • Player/testing profiles: a new (P)rofile row, first on the title screen, opens a screen to create, rename, delete, and switch between named profiles. Each profile keeps its own options, mod loadout, and save roster within the one install; only the Hall of Fame scores are shared across all of them. The starting profile needs no setup - it is the default until a second one is created, at which point creating it offers to name the original and to start the new one from the current profile’s settings or from a full reset. Switching profiles reloads the game (#163).

Removed

  • The Mods menu’s Profiles... row, which let a player save the currently enabled mod set and capability consents under a name and switch back to it - superseded by player/testing profiles above, which carry an independent mod loadout per profile (#163).
