Deploying Mac through itch.io

Hello, we need help!

We have a game deployed for the Mac and it runs.
We zipped it in our Mac.
To test to see if the zip file was corrupted, we unzipped the original file and it worked.
We uploaded that zip file to Itch.
We downloaded the zip file from itch and unzipped it.
When we load the game, it gives an error message:
"Error
Please Move the Game.app to a different folder."


We moved the Game.app to the application folder and also the desktop, but got the same error messages.

This is our Itch page : https://fifeferisland.itch.io/

We really need help!

Thank you!

We are lucky to have paid interns.

In our game, we are teaching Economics, so this qualified us to get paid interns through a program in our city. Two high school students play tested the game a lot for us and were very helpful. So I made this game to thank them in the end of semester virtual party.

It also shows a bit of the progress we've made in our game. Episode 1, Terrena's story, is almost ready for launch.

[RMMZ] Meet Terrena - our main character from the Amazon



This is Terrena, a member of the Kayapo tribe living along the Amazon river in Brazil. The forest near her home is being torn down by illegal loggers, what can she do to stop them? In our RPG game, Fifefer Island, she along with 6 other characters from around the world will be transported to an island where they will have to survive, thrive and learn lessons along the way.

​What do you think of her look?

Here she is in a still for our opening video. The game is being made in RPGMakerMZ, and we plan to have the Alpha version out by February 8th!

[RMMZ] Creating a condition based on HP/MP - How to?

Hello, I ran into this problem while scripting in MZ.

I want to create a conditional that uses an actor's HP or MP as the determining factor. But it seems that the only way to do this is to convert those stats into variables and then run the conditional on those variables. What could I be missing? Or is there just no way to do that?

Thank you for any help.

Game-Dev 1 month update! [RMMZ]

Hello Community, Thanks for all your support and encouragement on our project.
We decided on the name of the game – Fifefer Island. The guide and narrator will be Mother Planet. We have completed a lot over the past few weeks. We hire StarBird Resources and he has been a great help! We have developed the Title Screen, Heads Up Display (HUD), created a time/calendar system, Tech Tree and Quest Systems and also created the ability to generate reports for the player.

We are currently working on the game introduction animation, character introduction animation and chapter one maps. We are also working on the Style Guide. We still need more help from the community. We need a musician/sound effects artist that can give us a consistent theme throughout the story. We are also in need of more technical advice, illustrators and web people.

We are scheduled to have an Alpha version of the first two chapters our for testers in early February. We hope you will lend a hand and hopefully enjoy the first Alpha Release

2D Illustrator Needed

We are looking to pay an expert Illustrator for an RPGMaker MZ project.

What we want from you:
An experienced two dimensional (2d) illustrator for a role playing game (RPG) (Prefer RPGMaker engine experience). We are looking for a skilled illustrator in pixel art and design to create style guide, cutscenes, intro scene, characters, landscapes, parallax, Icons, items, etc.

If interested, please send a message to our RPGMaker.net mailbox (PowerParametrics), with your resume (if handy) and a list of games you have worked on (links would be nice).

More information:
Power Parametrics LLC (PP) is an organization whose purpose is to create an engaging and fun RPG game, whose players learn college level economic concepts. Most games are already filled with economic concepts, however, the economic terminology and jargon are not present. Therefore, if a player takes a standardized academic economic examination, they will not do well. Our approach is to match the jargon with the player experience. For example, an NPC name might be Monopolist (instead of Ogre Kronchabie).

About Us:
PowerParametrics (PP) was created by Toby Madden. Toby is from Minnesota and is a retired economist, educator and avid gamer. He is providing his retirement funds to achieve his long-time goal of creating a breakthrough in education technology.

Toby’s son Christopher is part of the PP team. He is an experienced teacher as well as has a Master’s degree in Education from Leicester University. He is fluent in English and French. Chris’s role is in story development, research and marketing.

Also, part of the PP team is Chris’s wife Hansol Na. She is from South Korea and is fluent in Korean, English and Japanese, and has a working capability in Mandarin. She graduated from Waseda University in LLB, and worked as an international business person for over 4 years. Hansol’s role is programming.

We have done an extensive review of the literature regarding RPG games as well as incorporating educational content into games. A draft of the gameplay and storyline has been created. We developed a proof-of-concept game developed in RPG Maker MV. We are developing the actual game in RPG Maker MZ. We do not plan on using the in-game battle engine, but more focus on exploration, quests, puzzles, avatar development, mini games and world building.

The game story- after a series of unfortunate events our hero is washed up on a mysterious island with an unknown population. The hero will make his way through the island discovering economic skills to predict the future and to build a wonderful life. Will the hero be able to rise up to the highest levels of power and be elected ruler of the island?
