Version 0.9.8.0 of The Forbidden Arts is live. You can now play The Forbidden Arts on your Mac! We added platform support for MacOSX 10.12 + later. Please keep in mind the hardware requirements. If you do not have the recommended requirements, you should proceed to lower graphics quality until smooth performance is achieved. This can be adjusted in the Video Options menu. Screen tearing is quite common on Mac, so by default we enable VSync, capping the FPS at 60. You can disable this if you wish.

Due to a bug that was found when submitting specific achievements, we felt it necessary to upgrade the game and bring it closer to it's 1.0 counterpart. Lots of other significant changes/improvements are included in version 0.9.8.0:

- The Forbidden Arts is now compatible with Steam's offline mode
- Updated Achievments to work properly with the new save system. Certain achievement types like enemy kills will now update properly
- You no longer need to close down and reboot the game when changing quality settings. The game will now reset to the title screen.
- Updated Steamworks integration
- Updated Game Engine
- Screen resolution will now default to 1080p (if supported) on first bootup, regardless of native resolution. This is to balance performance across so many variations in hardware. If you want to play the game in a resolution higher than 1080p then you can set the resolution in the video options menu to whatever your monitor supports.
- Changed controller code for processing submit button
- Input is now disabled until the splash screen has finished displaying upon starting the game
- Fixed some collision issues on the overworld
- modified some dialogue
- Changed Harpy shriek particle FX shader
- Adjusted particle collision for water spray FX on the Swamp Challenge Level
- Adjusted and optimized mist in the swamp levels
- Bug fixes

If anyone experiences any issues on either the PC or Mac version of the game, please inform us and we'll be sure to address the issues.

Thanks for following along, and stay posted for some big announcements in the near future!
