Notes

After noticing someone posting working builds, albeit unsigned loose executables, I finally figured out the deal. Those loose executables worked as long as they were in the Bin subfolder of the game data.

To get the game to bundle I had to figure out how to have it load the dylibs it needs (libEntites.dylib, libGame.dylib and libShaders.dylib) from the app bundle but load all the other files elsewhere.

Also, like wrathplaces, it loads in the ogg/vorbis libraries but does not link to it so you have to have them there, lipo'd and signed, but since they're not linked in dylibbundler doesn't grab them for you.

These libraries are, for right now, in the Resources folder which is what the SDL method SDL_GetBasePath() returns but that's not best practice. But for now I'm using it since I suck with strings in C/C++.
