This is a hotfix for an issue that occured during the barmaid job midshift event and Caleb saying some day 19 dialogue at the wrong time.
You can continue to use your 0.2.27 RC saves with this hotfix. If you were impacted by the "men blocking the way" issue simply try to enter the bath and you'll be given a prompt to clear the men out of the way.
0.2.27a Changelog
fixed bug where men would block your way during a mid-shift event
fixed a logic error where caleb would unfortunately trigger dialogue from day19 during a triggered callover
added temp fix for those with saves affected by the mid-shift even bug
simply try to enter the bathing room and you'll get a prompt
Thanks all for being patient as we welcomed our new addition to our family. It's been a bit hectic and sleepless but I think we've adjusted now (to being sleepless xD ). I'm also realizing as I type this I only said this in discord so far haha.
Well either way on to the feature highlights for the update!
The changelog will be below.
Blacksmith Minigame
This is our freelance coder's first minigame for us. Thanks Booom313!
Let us know what you think so far! We already have plenty in mind for improvements, balance and of course non-placeholder assets (we've already shown them in discord!)
The main inspirations for it are GW2 and Stardew fishing. Definitely expect more variance in a future patch!
Barmaid Minigame rebuild
Originally I planned to only do some minor edits to the Barmaid minigame this patch in order to add the tie-in for the Cassandra scene but I started to get on a roll for rebuilding the entire logic of the minigame. I went with the flow and basically rebuilt it to make room for the massive amount of content we are going to be added in the next few patches.
My goal overall to make it as dynamic as I can so that repeated instances aren't as repetitive. EG the "HEHE, I got your tip right here." delivery event haha. Special events, how busy the tavern is, how patrons treat Emma, table dispositions, orders and new "post-delivery services" are all on the menu. I'll talk more about this in the next DEVlog.
The biggest noticeable changes to you for this update is that you will see a WAY better patron and table randomization. It is also MUCH MUCH MUCH easier for me to balance now. The patron interactions should also be a bit smoother.
Autogrey Feature
This one was a pain in the fucking ass. You can also turn it off and pretend I never implemented if you don't like it lmao. (Option is in the UI settings.)
The idea is that I didn't want to add a massive workload having to manually dim/brighten standing busts as the speaker changes during cutscenes. This system just takes a look at the speaker's name and matches it to prespecified bust folder and dims any images that aren't in that folder.
This probably would have been impossible without the help of Booom313. Once we get the additional funding from this patch I plan to have them work on even more systems for us.
Art
This time around we've got two new H-CGs. A little less than the last update but don't worry we've got a LOT in the pipe due to roll out over the next few updates.
Plans for the Next Patch
I'm planning to do a much quicker patch for 0.2.28 RC. This one will focus mainly on the Barmaid mini-game but will also balance/tweak the Blacksmith minigame, new pixel art, framework for "solo" workouts with the guards, map and of course new H-CGs for Emma. (One is a followup to a CG from 0.2.26 - Yeah, that's right. You know the one. ;)

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!

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.
