Heroine's Quest is now available on MacOS, thanks to Chad Armstrong. The Mac build uses Adventure Game Studio version 3.6.1.25, and should run on any Mac 64-bit computer running MacOS 10.15 or above. The Windows and Linux builds have not been changed. And it includes a German translation, courtesy of Brendan Ferreri-Hanberry. Gameplay has not changed, but I'll consider a patch early next year if the Mac users (or anyone else) finds some major bugs. Enjoy, everyone, and have a great Christmas!

Heroine's Quest: The Herald of Ragnarok has been updated to the latest stable version of Adventure Game Studio, 3.6.0 patch 5.

This update should fix the "unresolved import" error that had been occurring in the Linux version of the game. No changes to the Windows version.

Heroine's Quest has been updated to fix bugs reported by Steam players. Furthermore, one of our fans stepped up to create a full Portuguese translation; so a big round of applause to lbatalhacs for that!! The new build is fully compatible with the previous one. Fixed accented letters in translations, and when restoring a game in another language. Fixed crash if attacking Heime in the cage; and during Thrivaldi cutscene. Fixed Egther battle glitch for the rogue. Fixed Fremont bypass glitch. Fixed Norn dialogue in Italian language. Fixed passing Aurvandel's challenge without the proper spells. I

http://store.steampowered.com/itemstore/283880/ When HQ was first released on Steam, our intention was to include Steam trading cards in addition to achievements, leaderboards, and several other features that add to the game. Unfortunately, Valve's policy does not allow free games to give out trading cards with gameplay. We considered handing out cards to players high on the leaderboards, but it turns out this doesn't work under policy, either. Trading cards are very popular on Steam, and therefore, one of the most frequently asked questions on this forum has been how to get cards for HQ. For

As part of our ongoing effort to have our adventure games available to as many people as possible, and thanks to translators Carlos, Irene, Aimé (and team), and Gabriele; Heroine's Quest is now fully playable in Spanish, French, and Italian. This brings the total language count to six: English, French, Italian, Hungarian, Russian, and Spanish. Enjoy, and spread the word to your multilingual friends! This is v1.2.4, fully backwards compatible with 1.2.0 and up, and including a few linguistic fixes. No major fixes or changes were required at this point.
