Install instructions

Windows

Unzip the file and run ProjectStarhaven.exe

MacOS

Unzip the file and follow these instructions 

If you download a new build and see a "Killed: 9" error or "The application can't be opened" message in the Terminal, macOS is blocking it because the build is unsigned. First ensure that you have Selected "Open Anyway" in the Security and Privacy tab in Settings. Follow these steps to fix it:

1.Move to Applications

Don't run the game from your Downloads folder. Drag the game folder into your Applications folder first.

2. Run the "Rescue" Commands

  • Open Terminal and run these three commands in order (replace the path if your folder name is different): A. Strip Quarantine Flags: Bash
  • xattr -cr /Applications/v0_1_macos/ProjectStarhaven.app
  • B. Force Executable Permissions: Bash
  • chmod -R +x /Applications/v0_1_macos/ProjectStarhaven.app
  • C. Sign Locally (Fixes Killed: 9): Bash
  • codesign --force --deep --sign - /Applications/v0_1_macos/ProjectStarhaven.app

3. Launching for the First Time

  1. Right-click ProjectStarhaven.command (or the .app).
  2. Select Open.
  3. When the warning pops up, click the Open button (this button only appears via Right-Click).
