Three new H-CG sets and 4 H-scenes are now in although some might receive some alterations and polish prior to the RC patch. We've also got the new Boiled Crab maps and a couple new jobs.
I've also experimented with some visual dialogue changes like color changes and the like. I plan to fully implement them in a future patch. I think it'd be neat to have names match either hair color or eye color since those colors are all actually unique.
Now onto the RC proper! And the finishing up the implementation of the main point of this patch, setting out to the Bandit Hideout! Plus 2 more H-CGs!
Stay tuned for the next MetaDEV(log) for more info and the planned release date!

I'm going to get straight to work on s-2 which should be out later this month and contain a 3-4 new h-scenes with new full H-CGs and our long awaited progression.
Stay tuned for the next MetaDEV(log) for more info.
And as always, snapshots are WIPs but still feel free to drop your feedback in the discord.

updated plugins
performance should improve however I have noticed regression in same cases.
Through sickness, crashes, a dead computer (RIP), interviews and platform shakeups we bring you a new snapshot.
This snapshot itself is focused on Day 1. There was a lot of work to do on cleaning up the dialogue and adjusting it to the new system. Some scenes are altered to give them better context or improve conversational flow. In some cases, there is even some new content.
A few scenes even had to be recreated as well due to the updated maps and being some of the first scenes added to the game.
You should also notice a smaller file size. That's intended as we are optimizing the game's assets.
We've also locked the game to 60fps which is what the game engine internally updates at anyways. Let me know if this has positively or negatively affected your experience. In my testing so far, it has been a small net positive. Particularly on high refresh rate displays.

There is a LOT to finish implementing for 0.1.23 which should hopefully ship this weekend. Such as A SPICY new H-CG starring everyone's favorite ???, ???! (Catch the WIPs for that and more on discord) Plus tons of polish (specifically quests, corruption and tutorials) and I'd like to extend the polish to day 2 if there is time. Hoping we are able to squeeze in the next set of sprites as well!
Time to pop some more antibiotics and get back to work!

The public build for 0.1.22 RC will also go live later tonight.
First, if you aren't on the discord you might be wondering about that video. The trailer is sent and honestly I think it came out really good all things considered. Worth it for sure. During it's production I also went ahead a worked on some stuff I had on the back burner. Namely updates to our game information/synopsis/etc since some of that was needed for this project. They'll go live at some point in the future.
OK, now let's get into what is in this snapshot.
The major focus for this snapshot was polish. Basically every line in the prologue was combed through and I also took the liberty to copy it all to new word documents. This is great as a reference and will make things like official translations in the future much easier. Related: I've actually been experimenting with a way to make the game more easily translated via unofficial means too. The idea being someone can just drop a language "mod" into a specific folder and a new language option will appear in the main menu.
The latest set of new pixel art is also in for the Duke, Hermit, Hilda, and Cross. Plus one more!
After some requests for it, I've also added in a way to turn off combat completely as well. For this snapshot combat will be defaulted "off" to test the feature. All future versions of the game will have combat defaulted "on". You can also change this in the menu.
Additionally, we now have the Kazuma prologue quest in. I may make modifications to it for the RC release though based on feedback.

In the full release of 0.1.22 you can expect the new CG that should finish up in the next couple of days or so. Coinciding with that will be a repeatable training event that will raise stats. You should also see the Cross Prologue Quest and the next iteration of the corruption system and cursed realm.
Worked as much as I could through to uh... incident and I'm recovering.
First off, we've got Seras in the game along with our most recently designed Grimnr. You can meet them both in the revised opening. There is still more work to do here, as you'll probably see if you play the current snapshot. But you will get the gist of what we are doing to improve the opening sequences this patch cycle.
Our second major addition is the first iteration of the blacksmith mini-game. I ended up figuring out a way to do something similar to what I had designed on paper. It awards silver based on how well you do and is fully playable.
There is no tutorial for it yet but it should be pretty straight forward. You'll be able to play 6 rounds total. 3 as a practice run on the old swords and 3 with silver on the line!
We are open to some feedback here but we'll probably replace it with our originally envisioned mini-game in a future patch.
We've also begun the larger lore/dialogue/bust update. We've talked a little about this before as far as the busts go and reducing the game's overall filesize. However, since every scene needs to be manually updated we are also going to be revising every line of dialogue in the game to make it all flow better and patch any existing holes.
Full patch notes below!
--
For the next snapshot we'll continue revising the opening sequence of the game as well as giving every line in the game a once over to ensure there are no mishaps with the lore. And we'll finally get the prologue side-quests in for Kazuma and Cross.
Work is also proceeding on the next CG set, the winning sprites from the recent poll, and some more updated maps.
The 0.1.21 snapshot has finally docked. Thanks all for being patient!
Most notably with this snapshot we finally have the basics for Emma's first playable job. The jist of it is Emma is tasked with taking orders from the seven lower tables in the Golden Barrel and then deliver their drinks. Of course as Emma passes by the patrons there is a chance they may want to interact with Emma. For now, these interactions will be limited to 8 different variations of being touched. Drinks ordered, what tables are filled, whose at the bar, dialogue rendered and how Emma is touched are all randomized. Future patches will contain even more "interactions", an expanded dialogue pool, balancing and even the fabled EIGHTH table!
For now there are two "rounds" with each round having four tables filled. The job is playable most evenings past Day 3 and is a great way to earn some silver! (Especially since you can cheese it currently.) Feel free to leave feedback in the discord server!
There is now a simple Day/Time UI alongside our planned Time of Day system. This is not and will not be a real time clock. Instead it plays more like the Persona series in that time progresses as you do various events and activities.
We've also got new sprites from Garland, Demon Lord and Uzul. And the General Store, Magic Shop, Blacksmith and Potion Shop maps were all remade.
