Hello, guys. I hope you are doing well. Here are some updates about the game development:

1. First, I decided to drop the Mac and Linux support for now. The problem is that I don't have those systems to test the game on. And I was under the rather naive impression that I can just select a different platform in Unity and it will handle everything. But apparently a lot of people have various problems running on Linux and MacOS. So, for now it will be only Windows and Android. Perhaps, when the final version of the game is released, I will port it to other systems as well.

2. Plans for the next update - add main quest line for Act 2. I think the plot line is pretty cool. Hope you will like it too.

3. Android tooltips. I spent some time thinking how to implement tooltips on mobile. Finally, I decided to simply add an additional button in the pop out menu. When the player taps on it, the game pauses and several buttons appear near the elements that have tooltips. Taping on those shows the required tooltip. Taping anywhere else - removes those buttons and unpauses the game. Below are some screenshots.
