What you can download
| Platform | File |
|---|---|
| Windows (installer) | Neo Angband Setup 1.3.0.exe |
| Windows (portable, one file) | Neo Angband-1.3.0-portable.exe |
| macOS | .dmg, or the .zip if you prefer to unpack it yourself |
| Linux | .AppImage (no install), .deb, or .tar.gz |
| Self-hosting | neo-angband-web-1.3.0.zip - static files, any web server |
The portable Windows build and the AppImage need no installer:
download, run, and the game keeps its saves in a folder beside itself.
These builds are not code-signed
There is no Apple Developer identity or Windows certificate behind this
project yet, so your OS blocks the first launch.
Windows is one click: SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC",
choose More info then Run anyway.
macOS is not one click, and the dialog it shows you does not contain the
way through - it offers only Done and Move to Trash. Do this:
- Drag the app out of the
.dmg, then double-click it and press Done
on the refusal. This step is required: it is what makes the permission
below appear, and it expires about an hour later. - Open System Settings -> Privacy & Security and scroll to
Security, near the bottom. - Press Open Anyway on the line naming Neo Angband, authenticate, and
launch it again.
Or, the same decision in one command:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Neo Angband.app"
The old right-click -> Open trick does NOT work: Apple removed that
bypass in macOS 15 Sequoia.
On Apple Silicon take the arm64 build. The x64 one is for Intel Macs,
not a fallback - Apple is withdrawing Rosetta 2, so on a current Mac it is
likelier to refuse to launch than to run slowly.
If that trade is not one you want to make, build it yourself -
docs/INSTALL.md - or play in the browser, which needs no trust decision.
Your save
Saves survive an update. Every save-format change ships the conversion that
reads the version before it, and a save this build cannot open is left
untouched rather than replaced.
Added
- Player/testing profiles: a new
(P)rofilerow, first on the title screen,
opens a screen to create, rename, delete, and switch between named
profiles. Each profile keeps its own options, mod loadout, and save
roster within the one install; only the Hall of Fame scores are shared
across all of them. The starting profile needs no setup - it is the
default until a second one is created, at which point creating it offers
to name the original and to start the new one from the current profile's
settings or from a full reset. Switching profiles reloads the game
(#163).
Removed
- The Mods menu's
Profiles...row, which let a player save the currently
enabled mod set and capability consents under a name and switch back to
it - superseded by player/testing profiles above, which carry an
independent mod loadout per profile (#163).
