ACotGK Update
First, sorry for slow response to Steam Community messages. I'm new to having a game on Steam and didn't notice them until right now!

I’m working on a minor update. The biggest thing is to add Mac support on Steam. Currently it’s only on the Mac app store. Otherwise just some minor fixes and updates.

After that I’d like to work a bit on map generation and UI, but those are bigger projects. Any feedback, send it my way!
