One of the five new outfits coming in update 0.13!
This one is seen during the festival, when Rachel is doing her animal girl maid cafe idea. While Rachel is seen as a dog girl maid, Rosa apparently had to choose an animal for her outfit.
It would seem Rosa thought cats were a natural choice? :P

A early preview of the background art for the Library! ^^
This is the second of three expected bg's targeted to come with update 0.13 on July 30th. This month should mark with it all the bg work being done, aside from some minor weather changes and extra versions needed.

In order of hearing them.
-Main theme (overall main theme, heard during day 17, title screen, etc.)
-Serendipity (relaxing, calm, easy going moments.)
-Bore of a Chore (general school day music, etc.)
-Triest (emotional, sad moments.)
Music producer: Fabled Ways
One of the five new outfits coming in update 0.13!
This one takes place in the same scene as Lola's during the festival, as we found that Lola dressed Zoey up to help pull in a crowd for her custom outfits being sold.
There's something about seeing Zoey in a sexy outfit that makes the situation really cute. (Maybe because she's a bit clueless about it? :P )

Earlier this month, we shared a early preview page for how the kickstarter launch page would look roughly.
We received some feedback and also decided to make some minor adjustments, hoping to be about 90% done and ready for launch. Which is dead set on August 1st! ^^ We decided that since update 0.13 will release on July 30th, that it would be best to give about 2-3 days before launching the kickstarter campaign.
Here is a preview at the newly updated page: 2020-07-18 23:25:53 +0000 UTC

Happy Friday everyone! ^^ By the time this goes out, I'll be nearly done with my work week and looking forward to the weekend!
But before that, it's long overdue for a general update on stuff since our last July news post.
First off, update 0.13 is still planned and on schedule for releasing on July 30th. So no changes there, for those who have recently became supporters this month and are new to our ...
Another new outfit that will be part of update 0.13!
This one shows up during the festival when Lola and Zoey are together. (remember having to help Zoey pull in a crowd for Lola? )
I wonder just where Lola thought up this cosplay idea from.
(This outfit will most likely be a unlocked outfit for the game for her.)

It's been a long wait for this scene, but finally I have a first look at how it's coming along to give the rough idea for how it'll turn out once finished.
This takes place during day 17 when there's a idol event to finish off the festival taking place. It'll be seen during the moment when the main girls are singing and dancing of course.
One thing to note is that once this cg scene is finished, I'm looking to make it the art that will be seen on the physical poster reward for k...
(Warning! This post may contain major spoilers for the story! Read further at your own risk.)
Generally with day 19 with how events end, there's a time skip of about 6 weeks. This is seen with all the routes, but handled a bit different for them as well.
For Nova she's been having a rough time in the relationship, as she feels like things aren't progressing forward. She decides to open up a bit about her past with her ex-boyfriend back when she was 18 an...
Very brief, but I'm looking to have adjustments made to the kickstarter preview page made later today sometime. (12th)
So expect to get another glimpse at how things are looking for that, I won't even suggest that this next preview page for it will be it's final version. But it'll include screenshots for the game, general previews of art and some music sampled over there included.
As this month quickly moves forward and we're soon to get to our expected launch date set for July ...
A early preview of the background art for the Cafeteria at the academy. ^^

^^ Our sprite artist is tackling a few outfits that have been on the back burner for a few updates.
This one is meant to show up right before the festival days, when Brandon plays a game in the gaming club with Bridget. They're playing a fantasy style game together and it's meant to visualize as if the two are taking the roles of the characters inside the game during this moment. :P
This will be included in the upcoming update 0.13 for July 30th. When the patch notes release la...
First off, for anyone who recently supported us this month and might've missed our poll asking about day 19 section 3 choices. Please do check it out and vote on it here. <3
Aside from that, I know there hasn't been a whole lot of art previews. Part of that is mainly to do with our sprite art for characters being wrapped up (aside from outfits at times and oc background character requests)
We'll be...
Just a quick post to address the recent poll from nearly 1 week ago from today.
So it does seem like most of the votes is in favor of this feature even if purely for those who would enjoy it, not so much themselves, etc. With a couple votes for wet or messy or feeling it isn't worth the troubles, etc.
With this said, I think the feature has a good chance of being added to the game. I won't mention a s...
It isn't 100% confirmed if we'll hear this in update 0.13 planned for July 30th. (due to funding/cost for this track right now) But I'm going to try pulling some strings and see if I can possibly pay out of pocket for this track, so we'll have 2 tracks for July. (3 in game total so far of 14 expected)
This track heard here is meant to be the general music heard day to day by default when there isn't a moment that shifts the mood of the scenes.
Should be a very cool lofi, drumki...
The wait for our first behind the scenes for writing is over! ^^
Let's jump into this and try wasting no time.
There's been a lot of work going into figuring out the routes and how the game will proceed in it's 2nd half I'll call it. If you wish to look at the game from days 1-19 as one half of the game, the routes introduced and what to come is the second half.
First before I even touch anything about routes, I'd like to explain a bit for how the rest of the game pla...
Last month brought with it the start of us getting music made by a great music producer who I feel will do an awesome job with piecing the music out for Messy Academy.
Last month's track was meant to be the main theme for the game that will be heard through out the game in the later half after the event of day 17.
This track is to break up the up beat, style theme for a track that will be heard throughout the game during more calm, relaxing and laid back moments. I'm sure many ...
Here is the post that lists what has been fixed.
For any of those unaware how our hotfixes for the game work, they are optional and up to you to download. Some of these fixes might be worth redownloading the game for them, others might not.
In order to download the hotfix, all you have to do is go to our "guide post" or check "about messy academy" to find the release posts for update ...
(hotfix will be released later tonight)
Just want to mention that as far as I've received from feedback and any concerns of possible bugs or issues, etc. Made aware to myself, update 0.12 almost didn't even need a hotfix version for it's minor issues.
Keyword "almost" >.< while it might not be a big deal for many to consider wanting to redownload this hotfix for what it does fix, it'll at least be there for those who want to see these fixes or possibly hav...
As promised, our preview to look at what physical character standees I have as my personal keep sake to share with everyone the quality of the build for the product, as best as one can with pictures. I'll be very honest and try comparing them to some other acrylic standees that I own that I feel are top of the line, professional level from bigger companies who handle them.
I'd grade the quality and work on these from 1 being terrible, not worth a cent. To 10 being completely perfectly ...
(sorry not dev project related)
Just wanted to toss out a small message letting our supporters and fans following our page to have a great and safe weekend!
Expect some preview pictures for the kickstarter character standee reward later today.
We'll begin to see some writing behind the scenes this coming week, focusing on Nova, Heather and Juliet. (don't worry Miki, Erika and Rachel we should see theirs during 13th-17th :P )
If we're lucky, we should begin seeing some...
Just want to first off say thank you for supporting us! It really does help us pay for the services offered that I'm not able to directly tackle myself. :P We hope you'll stick around.
In case there's a good amount of information spread all over our page and it's confusing to figure out where to go or what to look at in order to claim your rightful benefits for supporting, I'll suggest going to the "guide post" below and bookmarking that page in your browser.

As promised, our kickstarter news in July is going to be ramping up in speed. We're looking to launch during July 31st-August 1st.
But we still have some time to wait until then and let anyone interested in supporting our kickstarter, have some time to put some money away for any certain rewards offered. But it'll also let us give a rough idea for how the completed page will look like once it launches, do keep in mind the layout of headers, profile art, etc. Might move around to be bet...
This might seem like a odd topic title, but I've had it brought up to me and it seems like one of those things that could be added to the game. Granted with a little bit of work, kind of similar to how we have some extra content like additional choices planned, etc.
What is that feature you might wonder?
Well it might be odd given the game focuses on diapers, one will kind of expect that they'll be used in two different ways regardless.
I know that there's a bit of a comm...
It's been a while since we've had a sprite related art preview, to be expected now that the major work with sprites is finished for it's cast.
But one thing that was missing, was to have a visual for Brandon. Not only just to give players an idea for how he might look or leave it up to them to assume still or self insert, etc. The matter of it is, do whatever makes you happy when playing MA. ^^
Mainly I knew I needed a reference sheet for Brandon, so that when our cg artist need...
Once again a new month, a new post on news for what we have planned! ^^ Once again, to those who decided to stick with us as we head into July for support. We thank you all very deeply, it sounds a little over the top. But without the support, we really wouldn't be this far along in our progress. <3
July marks a very interesting month for us, from the 1st route stories being the focus to our kickstarter launch expected around July 31st-August 1st to launch, there's a lot going on! S...
If for any reason, you haven't downloaded the latest update 0.12 that released on the 29th. I highly suggest you do so the moment you see this post, from the time of this post.
You'll have exactly 12 hours before July begins, which I can only assume will mean that if you didn't access your download before then. Patreon won't let you see the posts and I sadly can only do so much to warn everyone.

Starting July off with a little fun poll, one that will serve both as pure fun and also gather a little bit of feedback for balancing.
The main question is: On your playthrough during update 0.12, which choices were unlocked for you or none?
Vote on as many characters below, so for example. If you went through on your first try during update 0.12 and checked through all the choices to see which ones were completely unlocked. (aka given an extra prompt "Is this the right choice?"...
Just briefly letting our followers who hold out for public updates to the game, know that we're looking to unlock update 0.11 sometime later in the night of June 30th.
It's mainly some last minute small fixes for the public update that's needed, sorry for the slight delay for the public update for those who are following along for our public releases.
The monthly Q&A and voting poll. These are open to the public, but supporters votes by default count as double and when answering questions they'll be given more priority.
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 reply back to you ...
