Hello cadets!
We are continuing to make progress on the next update, however we need to delay the release by a week or two as unfortunately our writer fell sick and is currently not well enough to finish the last bits of story planned for the update. We wish him a swift recovery.
Meanwhile we are adding some extra content to the update, including the first minigame!
Yeah Science!

Version 0.3.2 is now ready for early access and you can download it below. I added a few minor improvements to the release today, hence why it's being posted so late.

Hello cadets!
I'm happy to share with you all the content for this update has been written and we are now finishing the implementation and testing of the new content.
Early Access
We've been able to meet our internal deadlines without too much issue, therefore we feel confident we are now able to reliably provide early access versions. We will soon be updating the Lieutenant and above tiers to include the 1 week early access to new versions as a new perk. 2023-08-02 17:00:43 +0000 UTC View Post
Greetings cadets!
Today I have some good news to share with you. As some of you may remember, when we released the previous update we encountered a problem with the browser play system available on Itch.
As the game is starting to have more and more content, we discovered with the last update that there was a file count limit on the browser play functionality. After contacting Itch and some exchanges with them, I'm happy to announce Itch accepted to remove the limit for Starwatch ...

Good day cadets!
A lot of new supporters have joined us with the latest release. Welcome! We're glad you are enjoying the game.
We have been looking at the feedback on the latest version and we understand that sometimes it's not easy to figure out what to do next. Although we don't plan for the game to unnecessarily hold the player's hand, here is a look at the hint system we'll add in the next version to provide some additional clarity when needed.

Version 0.3.1 of Starwatch Academy has been released. This release introduces new story content, new features and fixes.
Three mods are now available for purchase at the clinic, giving you the ability to start experiencing transformations and how people will react to your changes.
Hey there officers!
We've finished the patch earlier than expected and we figured it could be a good test run for a potential early access benefit for officers now that we are able to stick to a much more regular schedule.
Is early access something you would like to have as benefit?
Changelog:
Hey there cadets!
We're doing some good progress on the next update. The modifications system is complete and we are implementing and testing the three mods we are going to make available in this version.
Purchasing Mods
The clinic shop will be available with three mods to let you get acquainted with the gameplay system before we add more mods such as the permanent M>F and F>M mods.

Hey there cadets!
Progress on the next version is pretty good thus far. Today we're going to talk about the new body type that will be introduced in this new version and what it means for the game.
The androgynous body type
One of Starwatch Academy's main theme is transformation and thus far there hasn't been much of it in the game aside of Curie's event on Day 3.
When we started testing transformations in the game, especially slow ones, we realized th...

For this poll, we're interested to know which hub you would like to see receive more attention in the future.
This means more character encounters, random events and story content related to these locations.

Hello cadets!
Version 0.3.0 was released last week and we're absolutely stoked about how well it's been received by all of you.
This release marked a significant milestone for us, introducing many of the systems that will be used for the remainder of the game (time management, quests, navigation, wardrobe, shops, etc...) and many new locations. So you can imagine, there were plenty of opportunities for things to go haywire.
We've been reading all the feedback and bug reports...

Hello cadets!
Progress continues on the next version, as of today we have completed 62 tasks, with 20 tasks remaining for the scope of this version.
We decided to move some features such as the beauty salon and the ability to purchase and use temporary body mods to the next version, 0.3.1, as we feel the patch is starting to be too big feature wise.
As temporary mods function as status effects and they are an essential part of the game, we believe there is need to do a lot m...

As stated last week, today we would like to talk about jobs and how we want to implement them into the game.

Progress remains steady on the next version. We are currently working on the stores you will be able to visit and do some shopping at. Among these stores, you will be able to find a fetish store named "Eclipse Gallery" in the Red Light District and meet the enigmatic customer representative, Eris.

We are making steady progress on the next update. To give you an idea of its scope, v0.2.5 had 18 tasks, v0.2.6 had 12 tasks. Thus far, v0.3.0 has a whopping 74 tasks!
As you know from previous updates, v0.3.0 will give you a lot more freedom as after orientation week the game switches to something more akin to an open world game.
There is nothing worse than an open world where there is nothing to do. Therefore, to kickstart freeroam and ensure the world ...
