River Oaks 0.1.3

The third patch release of the River Oaks desktop app, for Apple Silicon Macs.

Important: sign-in is now required

This version is a different kind of app from 0.1.2:

• You sign in with GitHub, in your system browser, and need waitlist approval before you can play, including solo play.
• It plays the hosted game at sim.jev.works, so it needs an internet connection, and you always get the latest deployed version of the district.
• Your approved session is kept until you sign out or it expires.

If you need to play offline or without an account, keep 0.1.2, the last standalone build.

What's new

• Shop staff and guests have their own faces. All 169 people working and shopping in the boutiques now have distinct faces, like the street residents.
• Shared worlds keep track of you. Your appearance carries across worlds, place links stay in the world they were shared from, and accepted contacts show which world they're in.
• Phone-sized windows: the hold-to-sprint button (beast form) meets the 44 px touch target.

Install

1. Download River-Oaks-0.1.3-macOS-arm64.zip and unzip it.

3. This build isn't signed or notarized by Apple. The first time, Control-click the app and choose Open.

Verification

Built from 42ba460 with a clean npm ci. Unit (647), server (140) and desktop (6) tests pass, and the desktop end-to-end check passes using a local test identity (its fullscreen step timed out once on this Mac and passed on rerun). The packaged bundle loads sim.jev.works, which currently runs the same main, and production GitHub sign-in responds. Completing sign-in with an approved account was not tested for this release.
