Mr. MegaloDEV here!

This month we have a good chunk of polish and some good ol' prologue fleshing out!
Remember: Snorkeler's and up can play today, Toe dippers in a week and then the public in two weeks. I'll edit the tiers by Sunday to reflect this.

Snorkeler+: DOWNLOAD 0.0.13a RC HERE
Toe Dipper: DOWNLOAD 0.0.13a RC HERE

PUBLIC 0.0.12 IS STILL HERE

No new hardcore scene this month, instead we have three CGs for fleshing out previous scenes that lacked a CG. Some scenes in the prologue have also been modified. This is in preparation for next month's patch, 0.0.14, which is planned to restructure the prologue as previously stated.

Might be a 0.0.13a in a couple days as well as some things were not working so I had to cut in order to get the patch out. We'll see how it goes. Either way Snorkelers+ can look forward to our first mid-month patch roughly when 0.0.13 goes public in two weeks.
