Today I have some very special news to share with everyone as today marks exactly 1 year since we first released update 0.01 and began our journey in making Messy Academy. This is going to be a very huge post, but this should be one big reflection post on an inside look of just how far along MA has come along since then. It’ll be a big blast of behind the scenes, what could’ve beens and cut content, the interesting details leading us to where we stand today.
With that said, before ...

Is summer already over with? Time sure does fly when busy! Either way, we have some news to share for our plans in September for MA, with update 0.15. Thank you once again to all of you who chose to stick with us going into September, we hope that update 0.15 will prove worth the wait.
So let's hop to it! Update 0.15 has a set release date for October 5th-7th. Most likely it'll be October 5th, unless something majorly goes wrong to cause minor delay. Which luckily hasn't happened ...

As promised in the monthly Q&A vote poll post that's open to the public. This voting poll is targeted to you supporters and focused on the latest update!
The voting options will be similar to how it was for the main girl route voting. We're interested in knowing how everyone likes these routes so far, as the side girl routes are only going to be 3 parts long vs the main girl's being 6 parts long. But they should still have a fulfilling story plot to them by the end.
Lola's o...

This post is our monthly Q&A and voting poll. These are open to the public, but supporters votes will be counted as double just to be fair and take in account for troll voting if it happens.
Q&A is simply just as it sounds! Leave any questions about the game, be it tech support, story, character, etc. Whatever feels fitting for questions to ask about the game and project. (These questions can be directed in a roleplaying style towards select characters, watch as they personally...

1:12AM (cst) edit: It's okay to download the update 0.14 now! ^^ Sorry to those who managed to download the game right away at midnight (cst) and might've ran into this issue below.
Hold off on downloading and playing right away... >.<
I foolishly forgot to make it so Zoey, Bridget and Lola's day 19 would lead into their route part 1 content. So give me a little bit of time and I'll edit this post and fix the release posts with new proper downloads that fix this.

First off, since this month is changing our normal schedule of releasing game updates. Instead of new updates at the end of a given month, it's now within the first week of a new month. So we're about 2 days from seeing a new patreon exclusive and public update released. (Sept 4th) So things for our posts are a little off than how we normally do them in the past months.
Anyways, that aside the main reason for this post is kickstarter news right? Well I have some good news to share with...

Just a brief message to everyone, thank you greatly for your support in August and so far leading into September! I know it's still a bit rough out in the world currently for many, so seeing the continued support is very appreciated from us.
While Update 0.14 has roughly 2-3 days before it's release, we'll have patch notes out soon that detail all the new content and adjustments, etc. We hope you'll enjoy the update, I doubt anything will top update 0.13 with how big on the writing it ...

Just in case you've missed the posts about it, this month we've mentioned switching our targeted release dates on new updates moving forward. Instead of having new updates released at the end of the month, it'll be during the first week of a new month.
So I'm sorry for how odd this month is for this, but update 0.14 releases on Sept 4th. Then following that update 0.15 releases on Oct 5th, so forth. This new release schedule feels not only more fitting for you guys supporting and ensur...

This track is meant to be heard during normal day events mainly.
Currently we have 6 tracks paid for, 12/13 tracks finished. (we added a new one to make it 13 in total) We'll end up hearing the remaining tracks not shared yet in September and soon to be added to the game with update 0.15 ^^
Our goal is to pay off most of the remaining tra...

Not too much to say, we updated our VNDB page for the game to have more recent art for the characters and more details given there, along with a new summary to better reflect the one that will be seen on our kickstarter.
We have also updated our story summary on our patreon "about messy studios" area and on other platforms, so it's more universal for those still discovering us to have a more solid concrete idea of which information is most updated, etc. ^^
Sorry it's nothing to...

With how day 19 ends, there's a time skip of 6 weeks. This is seen with all routes, but handled a bit different for them as well.
One thing to note is side girls have a shorter route than main girl's, but their story elements should still feel fairly fulfilling. It isn't cut short because we don't wish to give them full routes similar to the main girl's, but we do have to...

Bonbon is one of three oc background characters we have being worked on from supporters who supported our $25 tier. These characters will be seen in the game at least once if not twice or more depending on their fitting aspects.
We try to play off of the little backstories and personality of their characters given to us while keeping them fitting within the world of MA as well. ...

So patreon has introduced a new optional form of paying and supporting your favorite creators. In order to keep it simple, it's much like a yearly subscription that you can choose to pay up front the one time.
So let's say you were to pay for a year of support up front, starting today 8/18/2020. You would have access to all of my posts and our monthly game updates until 8/18/2021.
The benefit for this mainly is for those who know they like our content, they're used to what we d...

The idea is to try and hold off on adding the music until we have most of the general tracks ready to be added. But expect to hear these added in update 0.15 if all goes well, as we'll have the tracks mainly paid off by then I'm hoping. ^^
We currently have 6 tracks paid for and finished out of 12 (possibly 14 if we need the extra 2 tracks).
As of right now our music producer has...
