After supporting at this limited tier for at least three months you can work with us to create your own custom side event; complete with a unique CG set, a named NPC, etc. Subject to approval. Recommended to contact us to confirm your idea before you subscribe to this tier. Once ten events are confirmed for implementation we will most likely close this tier.

Hey all!
It's Tuesday! That means it's patch day!
2D Art
The Cassandra Training 2 scene, along with its associated CGs, is now available. Additionally, the Blacksmith Job is playable—refer to previous snapshots for more details. We've also introduced new busts for Seras and Grimnr, and updated various other busts.
Prologue Updates
Every scene in the prologue has been touched to some degree. Most notably the Finding Cross scene and Camp Fire scene. Next we'll be smoothing over the dialogue in Day 1 along with one very important context improvement to the story/setting.
Combat
Still plenty to do here but I've messed around with stats and stat growth scaling. The game will have a soft cap at level 50 and hard cap of 99. Probably the next major item I need to nail down here are skills and at least some better placeholders for animations and sounds.
Dialogue System
I've made a lot of improvements here under the hood. Slower devices should no longer have issues with sporadic characters flying everywhere as their busts are loaded in. Adding in new dialogue is also significantly faster from a development PoV. For now this newer system is only in the prologue.
Sprites
Lots of new sprites. Seven to be precise! We'll just have two more batches left after this which you'll see implemented over the next few updates.
Cursed Realm
I've updated the map here. We are still using placeholder tiles for now. The current plan is to get custom tiles done for crystals and then we'll update the rest of the tiles as well. Their design will match the Cursed Realm CG's monolith.
Prologue Quests
During the prologue you'll be able to complete a small quest with Kazuma. We are also in the process of implementing one with Cross but we are still waiting on a few mechanics to be completed first.
And more! Read the changelog below for more details!
Next Update
0.1.23 should be a much quicker turnaround compared to our last few updates. It'll mainly be due to there only being one snapshot this time but also I'm going to force myself to focus on the corruption system and balancing how various scenes play out/are triggered and Emma's reaction to them. Of course we'll be getting some H-CG scenes and more playable days!
Changelog 0.1.22 RC (Includes notes from snapshots)

Save . zip Included Save 1= Day 1 Evening Save 2= Day 2 Evening Save 3= Day 4 Morning Save 4= Day 6 Morning Save 5= Day 7 Morning
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.
Note that the Toe Dipper release will be in 1 week and the public release will be in 2 weeks. You can also now skip the wait by buying Accursed: Emma's path on itch! https://megalodev.itch.io/accursed-emmas-path
Ahoy! Mr. MegaloDEV here!
Going to keep this one short since I'm pretty tired.

--
The focus for this snapshot was combat, new mini-cgs and various polish improvements such as a much less annoying footstep noise and updated UI. The mini-CGs are spread around at various points in the game. The changelog will contain their exact locations.
For combat there are also some basic tutorials and a mandatory fight on the "Fight Cross" map.
Also a quick reminder of our approach to combat: No grind, no random encounters, and combat itself should be fun not a chore to unlock more content or CGs.
Now on to the final 0.0.19 release. We'll have a decent amount of new content there alongside some more combat depth with the playable Demon Lord fight!

You can read up on 0.0.19s-1's changes here as well.

The focus for this snapshot is the addition of a spicy new scene with Emma that is tied to Lorraine's storyline. Lorraine's previous H-CG has also been moved to only be accessible on day 4 rather than any time after day 1. Sophie's quest also naturally leads to it now. Other than that we've added a new bathing dialogue for day 2
For QoL issues we've fixed some render issues with the mini-cgs and a recreated the splash screen on startup using a new system. Oh, and the main menu has been spruced up a little bit.

Hey Everyone!
0.0.18 RC is now available to Snorkeler tier supporters and above!
--
0.0.18 focuses on our first leisure activity for Emma as well as her road to regaining her ability to fight with the help of Cassandra.
With the addition of the Cassandra scene we now have something to do each day for Days 1-6. For days 4-6 there is just one new event to do. After you complete it, go back to bed to progress to the next day.
We've also added a "generic" bathing scene that will be used should the player opt to take a bath when no new available bathing dialogue is available. As a quick reminder: The plan is for there to be various unique dialogues when taking a bath in her Inn Room once various conditions are met. None of these dialogues are required in any way and merely serve to give Emma some breathing room to digest all the crazy things happening in her life.
We've also now added a new tutorial system backend. This will make creating and displaying tutorials much easier with the added benefit of them also looking nicer than a standard textbox. This will be important for quickly explaining various systems in the game. Of course all tutorials will be viewable in the main menu as well. There is even an option for force disabling all tutorials in the options menu!
For now we've converted that super rough "Basic Controls" message into the new system. Keep in mind this is still a WIP and will be cleaned up with icons and pictures in future patches.
Unfortunately, the next combat draft didn't make it in this time as planned. As stated before we don't want combat to be super boring. Ideally, we want every encounter to feel special or at the very least we never want the player to feel the need to grind. Obviously, this makes designing combat and combat maps much harder. Especially true since neither of us are AAA expert combat system and scenario designers. So it's just taking more internal iterations to get it right.
--
There is a ton of story and CG content in the pipeline so we'll see what we accomplish for 0.x.19! Specifically, we are working on two optional quests accessible during the prologue camp area and a new HCG for Emma.
added a new SFW CG scene - Training 1 -accessible by talking with Cassandra on day 5
added a new NSFW CG scene - Solo Bathing Day 1 [s-1] -ONLY accessible before sleeping on the first night.
added a "generic" bathing scene. -accessible when taking a bath after the first night.
added new tutorial system -converted basic controls textbox into the new system.
added a new SFW CG scene - Eyes 2 [s-1]
Bugfixes and Other
Instances where silver is provided to (and taken from) the player should actually exchange silver now.
Sleeping in the bed will no longer skip multiple days and instead go to the next day once required events have been completed.
