This is assuming you've read and saw the Allie redesign preview #1 post already. :P
We'd like to know with our limited poll options what everyone thinks should be changed about Allie and see if we can get something adjusted. Of course some aspects might not change and we'll of course address aspects that we couldn't change and why, etc. Once we get to a more finished point for her sprite.
In the meantime, you can vote on as many options as possible. Comments always welcomed, hon...

Hi everyone! ^^ I'd like to briefly mention that I hope everyone's plans for the upcoming holiday season aren't too affected with things going on in the world. I'm hoping you all are avoiding the normal flu season as well, which thankfully enough for myself. I have been able to this year for once as the past two years I've always gotten sick during November. (That isn't to say I won't get sick still soon >.< But nice to not be sick around November for once.)
Anyways this is a pol...

Here's our 2nd cg scene finished for this month! ^^
One of my favorites right now with how it turned out. :P I hope fans love it as well, even if it's not quite a fan service style? Or erotic style scene? But don't worry, we have some more scenes in the works this month to be seen! ^^

Concept time for kickboxing! :P This was a really fun scene to see come together piece by piece, for sure my favorite cg scene so far I'd say. ^^
This takes place within episode 2 towards the end, when Nova is practicing in front of Brandon, Allie and Rosa.

These are the final expressions for the characters to be seen in the game, or rather final versions of their expressions. :P
These should be much more fitting to each character, while also being a bit more generally useful across the board.

Welp! We have our first cg scene completed for this month! ^^
Takes place when Brandon heads into the locker room during episode 2, the scene plays out with the dialogue to match the visuals of her undressing before noticing him and Miki. :P

No to scare anyone by the title, but this is more related to our ks campaign. Just in case I might've missed mentioning it, our ks funding ending on Nov 4th. We reached 171% and after ks fees, it'll give us a little around $6300 to work with purely towards cg art funding.
With that said, there were some stretch goals we didn't manage to hit and that's the main purpose of this post. We'll be addressing the stretch goals we did hit right below this, then move onto the ones we didn't hit ...

Our final outfit made this month is Rachel's pajamas! ^^
I'd say it's pretty fitting for her. :P
(The recent pajama art previews are the last outfits for the characters for now. After the Allie redesign seen this month, we'll have our sprite artist LisadiKaprio working purely on oc character requests moving forward throughout next year. ^^ Thank you for being so patient with us.)

One thing I mentioned sharing this month is a first look at the new and final expressions for character sprites being worked on, er well... <.< They've been worked on already.
Its all a matter of adding them into the engine to replace the ones seen currently in ep 1 & 2. No need to worry though, most of the expressions are about the same as before visually. But overall each character's expression sheet should give a very good idea of how it is a good mix of being fitting for ...

It's that time again! Yet another month just flew right by before our eyes. As many of you know by now or if you aren't aware yet. We've managed to see the funding of our ks campaign reach not only 100%, but 171%!
That's fantastic news to us and we're all very thankful for those who chose to take part in backing our ks, even if you weren't part of it. We don't look at you any different, everyone helping us out along the way are all respected equally in making sure we release MA as its...

With the release of update 0.16 we saw episode 2 added to the game. With it came along some interesting stuff going on. The big change being that the game is running in Ren'py now and so we're hoping to keep an eye on any issues that pop up with that.
But right now we'd love to know your thoughts on episode 2. If you enjoyed the events, disliked them, why? etc. Comments always welcomed and if you wish to speak out about anything but not publicly. You can always reach me through private...

The time has come! We've gathered up votes from fans on multiple social areas we post from and we've been given quite a interesting result for best girl of the academy! (all in fun of course :P )
Best girl is... Erika! (91 votes)
Pretty shocking to see that, as I figured it could of easily been Miki, Nova or maybe even Heather with the amount of fans for those girls. <.< Either way, here's the follow up results from most to least!

So, I've mentioned and hinted at someone else taking up the mantle as our engine/programmer in my place so that I could focus more on purely writing and management of the team.
Well, it might not come to much shock to some of you. But our very own editor Uncle Artie is going to be tackling both editing and engine work! ^^
In case you might not know Uncle Artie too well, he does have his own patreon. >>2020-11-03 17:01:02 +0000 UTC

Just a quick public mention to all supporters or possible new supporters coming soon.
We've made some adjustments to our existing supporter tiers! ^^ We hope that the benefits for each of them feel balanced, fair and fitting. We are up for adding more benefits to our existing tiers if it's a good benefit.
Below is a list of what has been added or adjusted slightly. We also now have a 5th support tier that is expensive, but for good reason as you'll see below. (Important: Some be...

The full details of what rewards you'd receive can be found on the kickstarter, among the character being created and having it's own route. ^^
If interested, there's currently 8 days remaining! Was at 133% now 119% funded, still not bad.

Forgive me for the naming, but I'm hoping this will help fans who don't want to spoil themselves for upcoming episode 2. If you are here to be spoiled, then read further below! :P
So the name of this scene is officially "Rachel plushie" I'll avoid any other mentions. But I'm sure many of you will figure out where this takes place, a bit unexpected maybe since it originally didn't show up in "Day 2" which is what episode 2 is based on.

Now I know there's some aspects that many of you wanted to look one way or another, we did consider them, try seeing how these would all play into her personality and overall look. Clearly we didn't go with some of these, we're sorry for this. But we do hope that once seen in the game (not in Episode 2), it'll feel very fitting to how she looks.
We'll be very careful not to have her come across as feeling too s...
