Ahoy!
It's Friday! What better way to celebrate than with the final 0.1 release, 0.1.23!
A Quest for Sophie
You can pick this up on day 10. This is technically a week 3 quest but well for this patch you can play it now! ??? is waiting...
2D Art
Lots of 2D art added.
Day 1+2 Updates
Just about every scene in day 1 and 2 was touched up. A couple will be added with the A "hotfix".
Blacksmith Intro
This has been specifically updated with unique CG art. Also some cool BGS!
Sprites and Busts
Four new sprites have been added. Read the notes below to find out who! Also all busts have been updated to the optimized system. The old busts are still present as there are still calls to them in various scenes. The old busts will be phased out and removed in a future update.
Maps
Both the "Healing Room" and Church Interior maps have been updated.
Cursed Realm
A small new scene has been added to the 2nd visit. Oooo.
And more! Scroll down to real the full changelog below for more details!
Next Update
First up I already have a hotfix planned for a couple small things I didn't have time to fix in time. Plus if anything I don't know about. I also want to improve one more scene in Day 2 that I'll sneak in here.
After that we've got our first snapshot for 0.2.24! As stated before this will be a large patch and therefore have a longer than usual patch cycle. We have three snapshots total planned for it. Lots of ground to cover!

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)

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.
--
Whew, we did it. Two new CGs and three new mini-CGs! Plus a slew of additional changes including the next combat draft, updated UI, improved main menu screen.
Hope you all enjoy the content!

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!

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.
