Huzzah!
The next release is now available to Snorkeler tiers and above! I feel like I learned a lot doing this patch. Tried different and more efficient ways to code, script and events things. This should hopefully speed up tasks in the future.

The Barmaid Job

We actually showcased it during the snapshot but we've made a couple of small improvements since then. Mainly just some balancing and increasing the pool of dialogue/interactions.
If you want to read a little more about it click here for the snapshot post.

Just to reiterate. This is the first iteration. PLEASE let us know what you'd like added/changed to spruce it up!

S*X Stat Icons and an Improved Menu Screen

No more boring variable window! We added some WIP "body part" icons to our slightly improved Main Menu Screen! We've also added a new option: Datalog. That Datalog currently contains the message log and two new items; tutorials and credits. There is also future support for a Bestiary, CG Gallery and Patch Notes!

We've also added an "Exit to Desktop" setting. :O
Read the full patch notes below.

What's Next?

The main goal of the next patch, 0.1.22, will focus on the Corruption System, revamped Cursed Realm and Curse Quests. We also want to implement the next iteration of combat, improved opening, implement Seras and implement enchanting for Lucian. I also have a bunch of optimizations in mind that I want to get started on to clean up some spaghetti. Of course, we'll have new content and more h-scenes too! We estimate the first snapshot to land towards the beginning of March. No, I'm not sweating.
