Hello everyone. Ok, the first news is that Children of Zodiarcs is NOW AVAILABLE ON MAC! Woo!

It contains: BALANCING - Late game Story Missions are now guaranteed to drop specific dice - Reduced the difficulty of several Skirmishes and Elite Skirmishes - Increased the number of guaranteed dice given after completing missions TEXT - Properly localised text (Italian, German, Spanish) in the options menu and new game menu BUG FIX - Completing Story Mission 5 by defeating all enemies now unlocks both "This is OUR turf" and "Children's Stories" achievements - One of Xero's cards now has the correct key word text

- PATCH NOTES: Patch 1.0.2 is now available! - 31 August 2017
Howdy, players. Patch 1.0.2 for Children of Zodiarcs is now live for everyone. The big focus of this patch was adjusting the game's difficulty, making fast-forward available during hero attack animations, more camera control so walls are blocking your view, added some quality of life features, and adjusting XP so Nahmi's levels doesn't out-pace other heroes. There was also a bug where enemies were always too weak in Skirmishes which meant that they were giving way less XP then they should have. Here are the full patch notes: CONTROLS - Feature: Added the ability to fast-forward hero attack animations by holding LMB or A (X360 controller) - Feature: Added the ability to change the pitch of the camera by holding RMB and moving mouse up/down, or R-Stick up/down (X360 controller). Zoom on controller is moved to LT and RT - Feature: Separate options to invert camera Y-axis or X-axis can be f…
