It's release time! Sorry about how things are proceeding, it's a busy time of the year, not only for holidays. We have a ton of birthday celebrations and I haven't had a free weekend since early October. ^^" So, I hope everyone can understand. We're trying to get everything out still as promised.
Thank you everyone for the continuous support and just remember there's more coming this month for content!

I'll keep this post brief and to the point! I'd like to thank everyone for being more than patient with us as we share the entirety of episode 5 this month! We are running into some hiccups in our plans, but we're not letting that completely ruin what our overall goal is with making sure all of episode 5 is out within November. ^^
The first thing to address is that v0.20 pt 2 was meant to be released today, but we're going to get this out on Nov 20th. (1 day difference) It'll most likel...

I know the big highlights for this month will mainly be with our releases, but we wanted to get some light previews out for art as well! :P Our cg artists have been busy getting some of the route episode art ready for v0.21 forward recently and I'm happy to say that we're looking good for v0.21, v0.22 and by the time v0.23 is ready, we'll easily have all of the episode 6 route art how it should look in time for those releases into 2024. ^^

Kinda a small post to toss out after our v0.20 pt 1 release last week! ^^" I think there's been some confusion as to what we have in mind for the next few months, how we're handling supporter vs public releases as we get things rolling again. I'd like to clear things up though.
Before we dive into showcasing our planned releases. I would like to be up front with our supporters that our next release is v0.20 pt 2, originally planned for Nov 18th. We are changing this to Nov 19th. (Proba...

You might have to do a double take since it's been so long! :P Once again we're extremely sorry about the awkwardness in our development for a long while now. This release alone won't begin to fix those issues, but we do hope that it'll begin to prove that we're trying to get content moving steadily again as we move along.
Thank you everyone for the continuous support and just remember there's more coming this month for content!

Hi everyone! We're about at the 48 hour mark before Nov 1st, but I do have some news to announce regarding the new content coming out soon and some plans we have in mind moving through the next few months to keep content flowing along at a much more steady rate each month.

The first main thing to announce is a tad bit iffy and that is, we're slightly delaying the release from Nov 1st, pushing it to Nov 7th for sure! >.<...

That's besides the point! I want to do one more tiny development update this month, it won't be huge or exciting as the other ones. Just briefly showing our progress and some light goals for content we're seeing if we can squeeze it in ...

I know that last month we had shared Paradigm Shift and claimed it was the final music track for MA, but one thing struck me before we officially finished up.. That was the need for a track meant for the credits ending point of the game!
We went with the name Yearbook, for obvious reasons given the game's central setting at the academy, but I think by the time we fully experience the game from start to finish, while it won't be a full year or multiple years attending Pembroke Academy.. ...

Of course some people will naturally reserve the right to take it with a truck load of salt, not hold their breath, etc. You'll just have to decide for yourself what you believe and when time comes, you'll be stunned.

We're making some quality fixes, many of which are very light changes to the story for MA elements. One of these is adjusting the rules presented to the player early on, most of which stays the same with what we know. Two aspects that are being changed however are..

Here we have it! Our final music track for the base game of MA! ^^ This has been a long time coming and marks another milestone in overall development for the project.
We have plans to have ComposerJF work with us once again in the future for dlc content. There is a chance that we do have a need for one more track besides this, but I'm looking over the 23 total tracks now to see if there is any last minute tracks needed still for the base game or if we're fully done. :P

Sorry this development report has taken a few extra days! >.< Awkward timing with the calendar dates leading into this month, kind of mixing up and delaying a few posts due to it.
A brief recap for development! Last month we softly confirmed that v0.20 (Episode 5) should be ready between August-September. I feel this is still very possible with where we're sitting on development. Ideally I'm hoping to have a official date set sometime within the next 2 weeks, but I'm trying to ma...

A while back and through the years of development, we've heard a number of comments and mentions against the character John, who acts as the main teacher for the guys when they arrive at the academy. We've tried to adjust how John as a character feels overtime and I'm sure when looking back to his early day...

Episode 5 is our main priority for release content, we're not ready to toss a dart at the calendar with a set release date as of right now sadly.

This track is for Zoey as the title suggests.
