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 will improve stability on newer computers and compatibility with newer Windows versions. Saved games from 1.2 and up are fully compatible with 1.2.9. A full list of engine changes can be found here. Changes to gameplay:

• Equip weapon if you pick one up and didn't have one.
• Fixed regular game instead starting the appreciation package beta if installed.
• Some minor fixes in translation files.

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.
• Improved some NPC responses in unusual cases.

[previewyoutube=KXYtSxFe_7I;full][/previewyoutube] From the makers of Heroine's Quest comes a challenging new puzzle game! Newly hatched from an egg, our young dragon searches for the important things in life. And to a dragon, that means treasure! Search underground mazes and solve elaborate puzzles in your quest for gems, and see if you can hoard enough to impress the other dragons! A classic puzzle with over a hundred levels and many different objects including treasure chests, replicators, floating balloons, fire beams, thieving elves, conveyor belts, gravity switches, and many more! Between all these traps, the levels require a good mixture of reflex action and thoughtful planning; and the varied mechanics keep things interesting to solve. Comes with a full set of achievements, leaderboards, and Steam Workshop to share your own levels! Now available on Steam!

To all Spanish-speaking players out there, the game already had a Spanish translation available; the user manual is now also available in Spanish, courtesy of Sara Gonzlez Tenorio. Enjoy!

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 players who want to craft a Heroine Badge or show off these cards on their profile, we have two options available. First, if you have any Steam cards you don't want (e.g. because they're duplicates) you can convert them into 'gems' and you can use these gems to craft booster packs. Craft a HQ booster pack to gain a set of trading cards. This has worked for several years now. Not all players are aware this option exists, but at least one Steam player has a level-5 HQ badge by now. Second, Steam does allow trading cards with in-game transactions. We have set up an item store for this purpose. You can buy a decoration for your favorite character class, and after about ten minutes of playing you'll get a trading card drop. You can use this to complete your set or trade them with other players. The link is at the top of this post. Please note that the minimum transaction required for trading cards is set by Valve, not by us. Also please note that these items do not affect gameplay and are not required to complete the game. They're simply an extra option for players who love trading cards. Enjoy!
