Over in ye olde Github, release 0.5.1 is available. This is a minor release, feature-wise, since all I did was add a bunch of data behind the scenes for planet type, population, tax rate, and the like. This will become more important over time.
Since the content is so light this time around, I went ahead and tried to make Mac and Linux builds. Full disclosure: I have no idea what I'm doing, there, and mostly just trusted Unity when it said it was doing them right. I don't have a *nix box or a Mac handy, so I rely on those of you who do to tell me how horribly broken they are.

I wasn't able to get past the title screen.  Windows version on Windows computer.

That is both weird and not matching my behavior. Is this on "New Game" or "Load Game"?

Both buttons do nothing.  Only the Quit Game button works.  Maybe I'm just not waiting long enough for it load?

Alright, could you go to C:\Users\$your_username\AppData\LocalLow\ObstiNate Games\Only War_ The Next Chapter\Player.log and toss that into a spoiler tag here for me?

Desktop locations often have special read/write restrictions. Maybe try putting a folder at root C:/ and running from there.

Yeah, I'll have to try that.  Most other games work alright without that, but some need to be in that C:/ folder to work.

The good news is that that file is just debug data, so I think I can get rid of it. Did you install to a different location than before? If not, me removing this debug code might be enough to fix the problem.

Game works if I place the folder in the C:// folder

Strangeness: The HQ squad gives an error message that it lacks sufficient Captains to lead the squad.  The Chapter Master needs a captain to lead his squad?
Although may be working as intended, since the Chapter Master is too busy leading the chapter to focus on his own squad's needs?

Good catch! I was lazy, and using the same structure for the Chapter HQ as the company HQs. Fixing for next version.

Just a quick update to say: I've been busily playing the prediction markets for the US election with my free time over the past week, so I've gotten no Only War work done. The loss of momentum worries me a little bit, since I tend to be inertial about these sorts of things, so I'll need to work to pick steam back up now that the markets will be calming down. But, here's hoping!

Hey dude, you're doing amazing work and I'm thrilled you're on this project! I do software QA IRL, I'd like to contribute to this if I can, hit me up via PM if you want a hand :)

I thought the Prediction market work would be done by now, but no, US election season 2020 is still volatile, with money to be made, so I haven't written a lick of code in the past few weeks. I think about the project most days, and am hoping that the four-day weekend I get for Thanksgiving will be a good time to start rebuilding momentum.

doomdude1, I'll send you a DM.
