0.2.26 RC is now live for Snorkelers+ | It's Here!

DOWNLOAD ON ITCH | MEGA

Through illness and sickness the update has arrived!

Lot's of new stuff this update. Changelog will be at the bottom.
Let's dig in!

GUI

This will be the most immediate and noticeable change outside of the new content. This is also the first major work with our new programmer we are working with. The Main Menu, Main Screen, Dialogue and HUD are the current screens implemented. There are still some visual oddities that will be smoothed out in coming updates as well as further polish and refinement.

Of course we will continue on the remaining GUI screens as well!

Maps

There are several new maps and map updates present in 0.2.26 RC. I've also went around a renamed many of the existing maps. Such as the town square now being called "The Old District". The Golden Barrel, Dryad's Grove have received new updated maps with the Golden Barrel receiving our new "Fog of War" feature. Then we have the entirely new area, "The Gate District". This is a new map located directly south from The Old District. Currently it's only function is providing access to training area with Cassandra and reaching the Grove.

You will see a lot more happen here later this year, including side quests!

Main Story

This is probably the main component of the patch. I think this might be the biggest patch we've done in terms of cutscenes/dialogue added.

In total 0.2.26 will expand the story from Day 17 until Day 23.

Art

There is A LOT of new art present in this update. (With much more on the way!!) New character designs, CGs, mini-CGs and of course H-CGs. In total we've added around or over 100 new art assets. One of the other areas I've been working on is how H-scenes play out. For a few of the new scenes you'll notice them to be a bit more dynamic with the pseudo animations. Press confirm to continue past the loops early!

I'm thinking of having a visual indicator for these as well in the future.

Audio

During your playtime you'll probably notice some new BGM. Specifically in the Golden Barrel. Each time of day will actually have a different track play similar to the Town BGM. To clarify, these are all technically placeholder since when the game is further along I plan to get a full OST done for the game.

Game Logic

Like the past few updates I've also made some huge strides with the game's general logic and updating some older areas to that new logic. One of the main benefits to the newer logic is having dialogue mostly segregated from the logic. This makes it much easier and much faster to update and add new content. This also helps lay a lot of ground work for potential features like voice acting and way less cumbersome localization.

Alright that's enough blabbing from me. I'm going to take a day off now (hopefully) before digging into work on 0.2.27!

Estimated Upcoming Release Schedule:
0.2.26 RC | Toe Dippers | 2/7/26
0.2.26 RC | Public Release | 2/28/26
0.2.27 | Snorkeler+ | TBA

I hope you all enjoy the patch/update and definitely leave feedback on the discord server!

Note: The Combat Update didn't make this release but stay tuned for more news on this!

Hey all!

Quick update on the medical issue mentioned in discord; Mrs. has recovered well and organ functions are now within normal levels. Thanks all for being patient while that was navigated last month!

The major part touched with this snapshot are Uzul's two jobs and the addition of his third shift. There is also some preliminary work for when we activate his shop after the combat update goes live.

We also have two new H-CGs under a new layered system which I'll call the ISDTE system, (I Should Have Done This Earlier). This will eventually be back-ported to prior CGs significantly reducing the total game's file size.

After the Raven Raid you'll also have the ability to view the remaining gems from the cell. One prior scene has been relocated here along with the addition of an entirely new scene.

Aside from that we've touched up a multitude of scenes, fixed some bugs, fixed a significant performance regression, added several new mini-CGs, added in our new logo and more!

RC coming up next!
Merchants, corruption, curses, blacksmithing, turning in packages and ale!Stay tuned for the next MetaDEV(log) for more info and we are looking at a release date later this month!

Changelog 0.2.25s-1 Snapshot

added THREE new H-CG sets
- Lily 2
- Emma General Store 3
- Emma bath 2
added 3 h-scenes
added three new mini-CGs
- Emma changing x3
added Dryad VN bust
added missing busts to Dryad scene.
added support for randomly shown images of Emma dressing herself when changing in/out of night clothes.
added General Store Shift 3
added new dialogue and feature when returning from the raid.
added new dialogue system organization for recurring quests (like shopkeeps)
- allows for easier branching dialogue as well for various world states.
added our new logo!
prevented patron event spamming during barmaid mini-game
- checks are performed every few seconds rather than via movement.
updated credits
updated General Store Intro
updated Onsen Mayor Scene
revamped General Store shifts 1 and 2
- Good amount of new and updated dialogue
improved VN bust system
- When changing speakers busts will now fade
- busts should stay in RAM longer which should hopefully improve loading performance on slower systems.
moved Lily TJ placement (after raid)
updated plugins

Fixes

fixed game over and soft locks from getting KO'ed (HP should be set to 1 after battle)
fixed performance degradation on lower end systems (again)
fixed Emma's waterwalking ability
fixed potential Cassandra day 5 crash
fixed many typos

0.2.24 RC is now live for Snorkelers+

TOE DIPPERS : ITCH.IO | MEGA
SNORKELER+ : ITCH.IO | MEGA

Ho boy, we did it!

0.2.24 is a relatively meaty patch but more importantly WE RELEASED IT! It's been a hell of year and the next year is looking to be quite a banger. We can talk about that, CD's upcoming work and more later this month in the Meta(DEV)log. For now let's delve into the patch!

New MSQ

Waking up on day 11 will now prompt the start of a new MSQ. Everything should go exactly as planned!

New 2D Art

5 new H-CG sets, 2 non-H CGs, new mini-CGs, new variations, new expressions. Nut was cooking for this patch!

Gropler Quest

The entire questline has been refactored and "encounters" no longer happen automatically. Go talk to Lorraine on day 5 to start! (This is the recommended day to start!)

Sprites and Maps

The remaining (currently designed) NPCs have all had their new chibi sprites added. And we've replaced all three Boiling Crab maps.

There are some new placeholder maps as well but those aren't as exciting...

Corruption and Cursed Realm

I've started to add more and more consequences to having certain corruption levels during certain events. I plan to expand this much more during the 0.2 cycle as a whole.

In addition, the cursed realm was been expanded a bit. You should also get a notification when you progress towards removing a curse. Once a curse is completed, go interact with it in the Cursed Realm to remove it.

Next Update

Next up will by 0.2.25s-1 Snapshot with even more Curse expansion! We have some really juicy artwork lined up and something very foreboding... Stay tuned!

Message me if you don't have access and should.

Hey all!

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!

added 4 h-scenes
- one is only available in the gallery for now (will be present in main content in the RC)
added Blacksmith week 2 job continuation with a small post-job follow up
added a consequence to drinking too much during the barmaid job
- it just ends early for now.
added 3 replacement maps for the old Onsen maps
- They'll be further polished up.
added new event to barmaid job.
- triggers once when working during Week 2
made some alterations to some barmaid mini-events
