Release Schedule and Beta Testing

Hi everyone,

Lead developer Altos here. 

Firstly I have some important news that I wanted to let you all know about. As promised, when we reached our second goal on Patreon I told my work I wanted to go part time. However, this didn't go down well with my company and, cut a long story short, I ended up quitting. Unfortunately, I am still contractually obliged to carry on working there until the end of April. However, after that and for as long as I am making enough money on P...

Second Poll

As I said in the development update we still have a lot of extra stuff that still needs to be added into the base game (spying scenes, more conversations with staff and students etc) plus several scenes which we didn’t quite have time to finish in version 0.2 (continuation of Priti’s story, some scenes for Maxine). I know lots of people are keen to see the punishment system implemented as soon as...

Version 0.2.2 (Bug fixes)

Hi everyone,

We’ve finished fixing all the little bugs, correcting the odd typos and adding some extra notes to tell people when storylines are finished for this version. Thank you to everyone who took the time to bring these to our attention. A list of the changes is below. If you haven’t played version 0.2 yet use this file and start a new save. Saves from version 0.2.1 should work fine with version 0.2.2 but please note there’s no new content. Hopefully that’s everything sort...

Goal Achieved!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to all our patrons for helping us achieve our second goal. We are very happy that so many people enjoyed the game and we are excited to be able to spend more time on it now. We are again one step closer to our dream of becoming full time adult game developers. We are eternally grateful for the opportunity that you have provided us.

Development Update

Hi everyone, 

I hope people enjoyed the update. Firstly I'd just like to say that we are aware of some bugs and typos and we will post an updated version soon. I may wait until the weekend to post it though after I've had the chance to properly go through all the text and code. Hopefully then we can draw a line under version 0.2 and focus on new content. 

I also realise that I should have made it more clear that you needed to create a new save file for version 0.2. This ...

Version 0.2 Released

N.B Updated links with some important bug fixes.

The long wait is over and version 0.2 is finally ready. This version contains over 1700 images lots of new animations and several minutes of actual video.

This update focuses on introducing the basic gameplay mechanics, the weekly cycle and completing initial quests for three of the staff members. It also introduces the weekly board meetings and demonstrates the mechanics for changing the school's rules (although only one rule chang...

Development update

So we're less than a week away from our deadline. Still a couple of important scenes left to render and some tidying up of the code to do but the game is playable and there is plenty to do. 

Sadly we didn't get quite as much done as I'd hoped and some areas of the school will feel a bit empty. Particularly the dorm rooms. I've also had to cut a bit of the content which I was planning on. Including a story line for Charlotte and some of the content for Priti. However, rather than de...

Planned Release Date 16th March

Hello everyone, just a quick note to say that we have set a revised release date of the 16th March. Our original goal to have version 0.2 ready for the end of February was highly ambitious and despite our best efforts we were not able to meet it. However, the game has come a long way and based on what's left to do we are 95% confident we can meet the new deadline.

Image Previews

Hi guys,

So as I said in the development update I’ve just been locked away coding and making hundreds of renders for the last nine days solidly. Picking ones to show you guys is tough but here is a little selection. I won't put these in any context this time I'll just let the shots speak for themselves. I'm very happy with the general improvement in image quality recently. Can't wait to show off our work. 

I've also posted some extra images in the spoilers section over on o...

Development Update

Hi guys,

So it's been a couple of weeks since the last development update. I just had a week off the day job and probably got well over a hundred hours work in on the game over the last nine days. Version 0.1 had about 800 images in the folder. At the time of writing Version 0.2 has over 1600 images. There are also dozens of new animations and few minutes worth of actual videos.

I've also added some useful new features. Shown in the picture above is the new UI we've been working o...

Discord Server

 Hi guys,

Just in case you didn't get the automatic invite I just wanted to let everyone know that we have a discord channel now. A huge thank you again to Remzis for helping to set it up. Feel free to stop by and leave your questions, comments and suggestions about the game. We will do our best to respond as soon as possible.

Twins in Trouble

 Hi guys,

Just wanted to share some artwork for my $20 patrons. Sorry that there’s only a few images here and they are a bit of a tease. I need to get back to work on version 0.2. Keen to get it finished as soon as possible!

In this little mini scene the twins have gotten themselves into trouble. You have ordered them to wait for you in their dorm room dressed in their night clothes. It looks like you’re going to have to punish both of them together.

Hope you guys l...

First Poll Winner

So the results of the first poll are in and it looks like Rachel is the clear winner with 15 votes. Congratulations to Rachel, she has won a trip to the headmasters office. I’ve included the picture of her above, looking cute in her outfit for the school play. 

Not far behind in joint second place with 12 votes each were Cassandra and Amy. Expect to see both of these girls getting in trouble in the next update as well.

Development Update 3

It's been almost one month now since the first release and we've made a huge amount of progress with version 0.2. We have some time off our day jobs coming up and we'll be working as hard as we can to get the next update out before the end of this month. 

While the first release was essentially linear, version 0.2 will be a fully functioning sandbox that will run indefinitely (although you’ll probably run out of content after the first couple of weekly cycles). As you can image t...

Which girls to punish first?

So it's time for our first poll. There is a lot of work to do getting the base game up and running so unfortunately we won't be able to spend much time on the punishment system for the next update. However, we still need to decide which girls are going to be getting into trouble first. Please choose your favourite girl from the options below. Debbie is obviously already going to be getting in trouble...

Version 0.2 Image Previews

Hi guys. Just wanted to share some more image previews for the upcoming version 0.2. The first shot above is of a potential new staff member. You may recognise her from the $20 patron tier image posing with Sally (I originally made that image as a tasteful nude shot but Patron made me put underwear on them, the prudes). She is also in the group bikini shot at the end of version 0.1. I’m not going to tell you anything about her yet as it will spoil some of the surprises in the story. Needles...

Development Update 2

So we sent out a brief update last week but now the dust has settled after the first release we wanted to send out something more in depth. After this we will move to posting updates every couple of weeks.

The next update is coming along nicely, our target for the end of February is highly ambitious but I'm still hopeful we can have it ready. The next update will be focused on implementing the main game mechanics and getting to know some of the characters. In version 0.2 the game will...

Version 0.2 Preview

Patrolling the school grounds you come across Charlotte smoking! The rules currently prevent you from punishing her yourself but perhaps there is a way around that... 

Upcoming Rewards

Hi guys,

As the $20 patrons you are all entitled to have a name of your choosing in the credits. So if you haven't done so already please message us with your chosen name. 

We are super hard at work right now on the next update but we still plan to make some time for our patron rewards. Including some custom art which will not feature in the main game. We'll be sending something out at the start of next month. We have some images planned but feel free to message us with the k...

Goal One Achieved

• Wow, we've already reached our first goal. Fantastic news. Thank you all for your pledges. So what does this mean? Well, it shows us that there is definitely a market for this game and every moment of our free time from now on will be spent working on it (although it already was to be honest). Altos can also look into reducing his hours at work so he can spend more time coding and making renders.
  
  We set the bar high with version 0.1 and know that people have high expectations for...

Development Update 1

Greeting Patrons,

Thank you again for your support, it means a lot. It's nerve wracking releasing something that you've worked very hard on, not knowing how people will respond. It's deeply satisfying to get such an overwhelmingly positive response.

So now the demo is out of the way the real work begins. We have epic plans for this game but we can't do all aspects at once. By necessity the next update will be focused on getting the weekly cycle up and running and crea...

An Exciting Start

Greetings all,

What an exciting night! So glad that people enjoyed our game and that so many of you have decided to pledge support at this early stage. Our goal of quitting our day jobs to become full time adult games developers has taken a big step forward and we are hugely grateful. Rest assured that work is already underway on Version 0.2. We plan on making the next update a big one so it's difficult to say exactly how long it's going to take. We will be keeping our patr...
