EDIT: Aha! I found the causes of all of these bugs and fixed them. The installers have been updated online, if you wanna give it another try!

Version number is visible and Frozen Heart is working, was it something general like bad formatting in xml files or something? I hate when that happens.

Well, you're definitely not running the most recent version, or else you'd see the version number on the title screen. :)

No fair, you hadn't announced the latest version yet! Anyway do you have any idea what caused my issue? Is that something you fixed in the latest version?

EDIT: hm I just downloaded the game again and no version number is appearing. Maybe you didn't update the Mac download?

Also, the "click to speed up" label on the scrolling text page is gone. hm perhaps some text labels, including the version number and the "click to speed up", aren't working in the Mac version?

Anyway I've played through the Kovit campaign and the issue I hit was "fixed" in the sense that after Dawbry the campaign ends. I hope this is just a temporary removal while you fix issues in the last section, because that battle was cool!

I also noticed there's a new Frozen Heart campaign so I tried that; the game froze after I clicked through the initial dialogue. As in once I was on the screen of the guy saying "It will be as you wish" nothing further happened when I clicked, although I could still move the mouse cursor around.

I just completed the second battle in Dawbry and got through all the dialogue after that, and then the next scene didn't load. the screen turned black and I could see the mouse cursor, but that's it

I'm sure others have mentioned this, but one small thing that would be nice would be for the Options to be remembered between sessions. I always do double time and screen edge scrolling, but keep forgetting I have to reset that.

Not within the last few days, I'll reinstall.

I just had the game freeze on me. I was in the middle of a battle; specifically, it was the enemy's turn and they had all gone so it looked like it was about to become my turn again. In the screenshot you'll notice there is an orphaned white arrow on the ground, I don't know if that is any clue.

There is a white bit between the legs of all the character sprites. Presumably that is supposed to be transparent. (I'm playing the game sent to backers, I don't know if this problem was in the demo but I probably would have noticed it.)

EDIT: oh I just realized that's the arrow showing which way they are facing. hm I'm not a fan of that arrow, do people really have trouble seeing which way a character is facing?

come to think of it, it might be nice for the characters to start facing down so the player can see their faces, rather than starting with them facing up. That's just personal preference though, not a bug.
