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!

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!

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)

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.
