Can't tell. First, check the java version. Type in Terminal: 'java -version'. What does Terminal return ?
What happens if you double click the jar file ?
When i double click it nothing happens, just says file not found.

Thats why we need another meteor
I agree, evolution needs another chance to produce something better than us.

To be honest, we're not that far from extinction, about 100-200 years of this and we're taking most of the life along with us to the big book of extinct species.

One second here. I can see that this game has build in Java Runtime Environment. It shall run even if you have no jre. Crucial would be to use correct download.

Correct me someone if i am wrong here: mostly people posting updates in here in their posts - those are Windows .jar files or .apk for android users.

Maybe you are trying to run Windows updated .jar file on a Mac - and thats the problem?
Bacause i dont see any speciffic statement that this is update for Mac version of java. (like in post https://f95zone.to/threads/tales-of-androgyny-v0-3-06-2-majalis.1643/page-529#post-5319354)

java version "15.0.2" 2021-01-19



this is the java btw could it be that i downloaded the wrong version?
Yep. You need version 8, not 15. If installed corrctly, you should get this in Terminal
openjdk version "1.8.0_282"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (Zulu 8.52.0.23-CA-macosx) (build 1.8.0_282-b08)

Ps: just ignore that boor who thinks he is the forum police.

I'm just an asshole, no need to insult me by saying that i'm the "forum police".

Thats good to know actually. Could you tell if that happens when the devs publish new versions of the game for a Mac? I mean like there is a java inside the file - i know it because i have looked into zipped file. But i am pretty curious about does they publish that file also with non-working java for mac users in new releases of this game?

why even bother being an ass on an online forum? does it make you feel any better about yourself? you just wasted at least 3 days just to be an ass.
Well, i've not been here for 24/7 for the past 3 days, at most i've "wasted" about 5 minutes.

And i like being an ass, that should be obvious.

I mean it is pretty annoying to see actual whole pages filled with people asking how to do the same thing that was answered many many manyyyyy times when there is a search function

This time it was about a problem specific for the Mac version. There are not whole pages filled with that. Besides, there's also something like good manners, which that ignoramus completely lacks.

I can't really tell. I will check it out as soon as a new Mac version is posted. Anyway, the oracle Java does have issues on MacOS after 10.13. I see Mac users on itch.io that have the same problem. I suppose the devs don't have several different MacOS versions running to test it.
Anyway, it is possible to fix the Mac app by replacing the built-in java RTE with the openJDK one, but why bother ? If you have a working openJDK RTE, you can just as well run the jar directly, which is also easier to update.
