Mac crossplay vs PC/Linux is now fixed, and it once again hopefully runs on all old MacOS versions it used to run on. Update your game, Mac users!

It's been a long time!* Do you like voiced story mode? Do you like Challenges? Trials? Do you like MISCELLANEOUS FIXES? ** Do you like PAYING LESS MONEY FOR SKULLGIRLS?!?! WELL THEN HAVE I GOT AN UPDATE FOR YOU! [spoiler]I still have an update if you don't really like miscellaneous fixes or paying less money for Skullgirls, but it will be markedly less exciting in that case.[/spoiler]

New Prices

- The base game is now $9.99. Forever. - The DLC characters are now $1.99 each. Forever. [spoiler]We love you, too.[/spoiler] - The 2nd Encore Features DLC is $15, and discounted for the first week: in theory it's 33% off ($10) if you don't own any DLC, and 50% off ($7.50) if you do own DLC. (This might be broken if you have the IGG-backer versions of the DLC, rather than the paid DLC. We are looking into it.) It includes all the DLC characters, English voiced story mode, Challenges, Trials for every character, and Survival Mode.

General

- Added some slick new guest art to the Art Gallery courtesy of Arc System Works, the publisher for the Japanese version! - Updated/unified the credits. - Fixed some other things I've forgotten. Yes, really, it was like 5 months ago... - Known issue on Linux: Using the nVidia binary drivers 364.15 with KDE 5 is known to cause graphics issues. We're looking into it. - This build does not include the fix for a newly discovered projectile-combo-start bug for P2. That needs to be exhaustively tested first. - We've been doing a lot of dev streams for Indivisible, you know, if you're into that sort of thing...

Other Platforms

- Skullgirls is out on the Vita in the US, and very soon (the 15th) in Japan. We have no word on when it will be released Europe yet. >.< - The Japanese PS4 version also comes out on the 15th. It adds Japanese voice acting, and there is a physical version!

When was the last time you saw a Steam announcement that collated footnotes? YEAH I THOUGHT SO. * [spoiler]...Lenneth. Would you like to know the status of your Einharjar? Would you like to know her status? +5 Bravery - Approached by Thor at the Aesir Mixer last week, rebuffed his awkward advances.[/spoiler] ** Oh, come on. EVERYBODY loves miscellaneous fixes! Wondering about the price of the 2nd Encore Features DLC? The $15 is just for the work involved in Voiced Story Mode/Challenges/Trials/Survival. The included DLC characters are basically free, because they must be included - Challenges etc. don't care whether you own the character or not. If you uninstall a DLC character and play a challenge or trial involving them, the game may crash! So don't do that. :^) When was the last time you saw a Steam announcement that used the word "collated"? YEAH I THOUGHT SO.
