After much deliberation, coin tosses and reflection on previous experiences, I've come up with a shortlist for the poll.
I've chosen names that aren't already used/designated for other characters, too much like friends and relatives, or anything that sounds like it might be the stage name for a lap dancer.
The poll will run until Saturday 11th May at which point I'll hopefully be able...

This is another character who you briefly meet during the forthcoming Chapter 15.
I know some of you have already seen her, because I know that some of you have been looking already.
But we need a name for her...
And that's where you come in.
Suggest a suitable name in the comments below and in a few days I'll pull together a shortlist and run a poll.
The winning name will be added to Chapter 15 and the Patron who suggested it will win 200...

It always goes a little bit quiet in the expectant days leading up to a new chapter launch.
I've completed a lot of additional work on Chapter 15 over the past two weeks but it's not quite all ready to release just yet.
The scenes I created two years ago for this episode have needed a substantial amount of reworking to fit in with the overall past and future projected narrative.
Let's just say it's all been rather complicated, tying off many loose ends in the story and gettin...

Since my last update, work on Chapter 15 has been going reasonably well.
As anticipated the assets count has swelled to over 3000 images and around 1800 pages.
I have a few scenes to expand, tweak and refine but it's looking good for completion over the next two weeks.
Beta testing is underway and I'm optimistic about this episode.
There's plenty of action in this one after the relative slow burn of Chapter 14.
Still a few critical tasks to perform too though, all o...

These are some more of the images that you probably don't want to see!
They are shown at the end of an 'unsuccessful' chapter playthrough.
You will see them if you got arrested, ejected, beaten up or caught doing something that you shouldn't have been doing.
These are all from the Thursday evening chapters.
There are many ways to fail, but also many ways to succeed.
You can play again as many times as you want...
How many can you discover...?

The launch of Chapter 14, at the end of February, went remarkably smoothly with very few issues or errors to report.
I'm sure that you are all of course eager to find out what happens next...
I've spent a couple of weeks working on the website, updating some of the walkthroughs and other Academy related stuff.
There is still some work to do on those fronts, but I'm also keen to get my time fully committed to the completion and release of Chapter 15 as soon as possible.

Many of you have waited years for this moment. The anticipation and the weight of expectation is something I'm very well aware of.
Somehow it seems appropriate to launch on a leap day.
It's been two years since I re-emerged with news of the continuation of the Academy series, and about five years have passed since the original story left off.
Much has changed since then. The remake process was a very important one for me because I wasn't ever completely happy with the quality and...

Throughout the series I have introduced many new characters either in the background of some scenes, or that you can interact with to some degree.

With the release of the all new Chapter 14 just a few days away now, there's just a little more time to preview what to expect.
Chapters 9-13 covered the events of Thursday evening and one of the main pathways of the was of course the date with Bridgette.
This had several eventual outcomes; ending with or without Bridgette.
Encapsulating all of that into the save data was pretty much impossible, so Ch14 introduces a new pre-game questions feature.
Basically this means answ...

One of the themes on Friday morning is figuring out who can help you do what you need to do.
In other words, who do you help and who can help you.
But of course the choices aren't quite as simple as that...
Chapter 14 has quite a lot of story building content as a pre-cursor to what then gets set up for the rest of the day.
It's not all hard work though, helping people does come with some more immediate rewards...

You can start Chapter 14 in a number of different ways. It all depends on how things turned out at the end of Thursday.
There is always cause and effect in the way I create my games, so naturally what has happened in the past will contribute to what can happen in the future.
The underlying plot on Friday remains the same though.
There is a mystery to solve and you can't do it all on your own.
The relationships you have or have not forged with the other characters may or ma...

In terms of the overall story timeline, Chapter Fourteen is the direct replacement for what would have been 'The Academy : Part Five'.
In other words, this chapter picks up on what happens after the 'Date with Bridgette' episodes.

Much of this is quite subtle and involves a few minor changes to the functions and appearance of some pages and modals.

For the last couple of weeks I've been fully focussed on getting Chapter 13 completed and ready for release.
This chapter is based around the old 'DwB Part 4' and takes place at the end of your date with Bridgette on Thursday evening.
This is where you get back to Bridgette's place if you successfully kept her happy throughout Chapters 9, 10, 11 and 12.
This was always a really big episode.
