Hi All, Very small patch:

• Fixed a timing issue that would switch the first scene to the 2nd scene without the text exiting the scene first
• Fixed the options menu's positioning when summoned in game
• Fixed an issue where the journal entries weren't being saved with the rest of the game

Also, it's that time of the year again, where games are nominated for awards here on Steam. If you feel so inclined, I'd be honored to be nominated for... Well anything :) If you don't feel this small game is up to snuff, no hard feelings, it would just be awesome to be nominated for such a huge award. 'From Beyond: The Dinner Party" is also coming along nicely BTW; a sneak peek should be available by the new year. Hope you all are excited as I am. steamhappy ~ William

Hail fellow adventurers Danielle and I (William) just want to thank everyone that came out to Seattle Indie 6. We met some great people and loved being able to watch attendees enjoy our game. We never would have imagined people sitting and playing for extended sessions in such a distracting environment. Even better, many times these play sessions were surrounded by a captivated audience. The live one on one interactions and observing audience reactions was an amazing, unique, valuable experience for a developer. Again, we want to thank you all for your support and interest. Warm and fuzzies aside, I have just pushed an update to the Steam Launcher for the Mac build. There was a Unity update that changed a file location that was causing the launcher to fail. So, if you were having issues with launching the game with a Mac via Steam it should be working again. Finally, a big thank you to everyone that has reviewed our game. We have had some new reviews recently which we really appreciate.

Special thanks to CrazyPyro69, representing the Coalition of Point & Clickers, for catching 2 new bugs in the game! Both were just minor dialogue Look at text triggers that didnt go off correctly.

• One was looking at the [spoiler] throne[/spoiler] after the [spoiler]crystal shatters[/spoiler] and it still describing the crystal.
• Another was looking at the [spoiler]forge[/spoiler] after youve already [spoiler] lit a fire and made your mold[/spoiler].

Nothing game breaking, but still they were both good catches. Here is another out of context graphical sneak peak of the upcoming follow-up, From Beyond: The Dinner Party.
