Hi there,
That is not a bug. As the story implies, Jerosh (the ghost in the mirror) stole all the Red Orbis from Dio's pocket. As such, banking Red Orbis only starts in 2nd run.
Thanks for reaching out!
No problem, really enjoying the game so far. I have a suggestion that would make the UI and gameplay a lot smoother. When looking at new equipment, you should put in a feature that allows you to access your menu to look at your characters before you make a choice. Also, a mouse-over interface to show you what all the effects do would be great. Looking forward to what you come up with in the future!
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions. I'll take those into consideration. I'm glad to know you're enjoying the game :) The next update will be very big (like expansion-level big). It's taking a little bit more time to cook all things up. And nothing is final yet; everything may still change, so I can't even give a teaser yet about what's coming. All I can say is that I'm also going to write a massive article about all the new stuff and changes, so stay tuned.
Still cooking. Sorry if it's taking a long time. It snowballed; it's essentially a new game by now. Old saves will no longer work due to the many changes. Here are some changes coming that I can now confirm: 24 new abilities for Dio, Rin, and Selene (total abilities in their pool will be 54, previously 30). So 24x3=72 new abilities in total. Jirah will have a totally new set of abilities as she becomes a special character (no need to unlock), a spellstealer who will have a total of 90 abilities in her pool. And due to the increased pool, there will now be a 'Reroll' option. There will also be new ways to earn and spend Red Orbis. New items and item reworks (all old unupgradable items will be reworked to have upgradable versions). There will still be more, including visual updates, but that's all I can say for now. Once again, I'm sorry if this takes a long time to cook. A trailer and an article will be released soon for more information.
Hi, lillyfox. Due to the many changes (almost a new game already) and the fact that old saves will no longer work because of it, I will no longer release it as an update but rather a new game probably named Zodiac Hunters 2 (name not final as I'm also considering the opportunity to change the title). Owners of Zodiac Hunters will get a free copy (more details when it's released). The planned release date is early April (looking likely but not final as well).
