For those who feel we're not supplying enough content for the time invested or have their own reasons for leaving us after April, whatever your personal reason for deciding to leave us. We do hope we can bring you bac...

delayed for one hour! update 0.10

Very quick, wanted to let anyone waiting for midnight to know that there was one little setback regarding god mode releases.

I wasn't aware that the variables in previous god modes given weren't working as intended, so I'm currently adjusting this quick and give it about an hour to upload the files for the game's release.

Sorry for the slight delay! >.< God mode users will be able to actually have some content automatically unlock as it was intended, based around variables...

Final reminder about update 0.10 release tonight!

Very quickly, tonight is the release night for update 0.10

I'll send out a post labeled "Update 0.10 release" into the news feed, exactly at midnight (cst timezone).

Be sure to download things asap, as I'm not 100% sure how long you all have between a new month and repaying for support tiers to download. But please do be careful and download the update right away, as there should be roughly 24 hours from release until it's May. ^^

Nova sprite collection

This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Nova a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^

Nova is the captain of the kickboxing club, friends with Allie & Rosa. She comes from a very well known family who are famous around the world in kickboxing and grew up around it. She's a down to earth, tomboy, mature kind of girl. There's many time...

Behind the scenes: Day 15 Section 3

Early preview of the writing for section 3. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Bridget.


This section begins with Brandon relaxing a little away from the festival grounds, as Bridget joins him. She chats with him, asking if he's enjoying the festival so far and after a bit of dialogue. There's unlocks, following more unlocks. Without spoiling those, she takes notice of how long she's been away from her gaming booth.

She asks if he'd like to join in th...

Nova design final results!

We had quite a bit of voting and previews for how Nova is looking for her new design. It was a hard choice to consider how to proceed with her final design choices and with all the voting said and done, along with the creation process for direction in mind as well.

It's been decided that Nova will look like the right side of this post image.

I understand there was a pretty big split b...

Allie sprite collection

This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Allie a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^

Allie is Nova's and Rosa's friend who joined the kickboxing club when approached by the two. She quickly became the one who likes to fool around and slack of at times, which doesn't go over so well with the other two. She has a fun, teasing sort of ...

Behind the scenes: update 0.10 screenshots

(Possible spoilers on images!!)

Possibly a new kind of post to see, one that I hope to put out 2-3 posts for each month. The main point of these posts will be to show some preview screenshots taken from the new upcoming days to possibly see some new stuff visually being added to go along with "Behind the scenes: Day X section Y" which covers behind the scenes for writing.

It's rough to share screenshots normally until the update or a given week of work is "done"...

Quick reminder about how releases are handled!

Just want to let anyone new to the project understand how we handle things for the new exclusive game releases. ^^

Keeping it short and sweet, new exclusive game release normally on the 30th of a given month. I send out a post labeled "Update 0.10 release post" or something similar around midnight (cst) timezone, the moment it becomes the 30th. This is to hopefully give everyone exactly one full day regardless of their timezone to download their new version of the game. ^^

Behind the scenes: Day 15 Section 2

Early preview of the writing for section 2. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Heather and Juliet.


This section takes place instantly after section 1 ending, after texting Nathan to come get Zoey. Heather returns before Brandon can head off, Heather and Juliet ask if he'd like to help them out with their patrol around the festival.

There's a choice here to agree to it, while looking at which girl you'd like more affection with. They begin roaming...

VNDB (visual novel database) news!

Very quick post, some of you might've seen about the project being posted over on vndb.org which is a website that hosts information about nearly all visual novel games released or in progress, showing characters and details about them, etc.

I forgot to mention it, but I decided late last year to add MA to the website for people to find it and check it out from there. Letting them be redirected here to download the current public releases and discover us on patreon.

Well I recen...

Rosa sprite collection

This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Rosa a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^

Rosa is known for being Nova's best friend, while Allie is seen as being both Nova & Rosa's friend as well. Nova & Rosa knew each other longer. Rosa is much like Nova in a sense for personality, but has her own unique traits. She doesn't quite...

Nova new design #2 voting poll (hair difference)

This post explains it, this is purely for the voting! But by any means comment below here or on the other post about further details! ^^

Nova new design final take! (Final feedback)

Vote here

As mentioned, I wanted to simply share how Nova would look in her new design if she had the original purple hair color. (seen left)

I can't promise if she will go with the purple color design for sure, as personally from my own personal creation stand point. I feel as if the right is more in line with what I had intended for her character even from the start.

The purple hair color cam...

Behind the scenes: Day 15 Section 1

Early preview of the writing for section 1. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Lola and Zoey.


The section begins the day of the festival, shortly after meeting with his friends and they head off on their own. Brandon is surprised by Zoey, who seems to be wearing quite a interesting bunny related outfit. It turns out she's helping Lola out and in return she'll get rewards from her. We find out that she's using Zoey as a model to help bring in customers for h...

Charlotte sprite collection

This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Charlotte a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^

Charlotte is know for being a mute, who hangs out with Miki quite often enough. There's some mystery behind her as it's hard to tell what kind of person she really is due to her mute nature.

When designing Charlotte she was actually an afte...

Early preview of the writing for section 3. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Rachel and Juliet.


The section starts off with Brandon being tasked with helping Juliet find the final member needed to make Rachel's club official. He has a good candidate and seeks out Rosa, who thinks he is at her room for another reason. After misunderstandings are cleared up, she agrees to join the club after questioning about it. He takes the news back to J...

Erika and Nova design results!

As many of you know, I recently shared how Erika and Nova's new designs for their final sprites are coming along.

Based on what I could gather, it seems that Erika's design will go through 100% with the process. This means the preview that showed off her purple eyes and new hairstyle is what to expect for her. (estimated to replace her current sprites in game by May's update)

Now with Nova I know there's more going on with her changes to design. It seems like there's a pretty ev...

Background preview: Academy swimming pool

Keeping it short ^^

Here's our 2nd bg to be added coming in update 0.10 at the end of April! This will be a very nice addition, as the placeholder swimming pool bg in the game currently is seen as being outdoors, while the pool was supposed to be a inside the building sort of area all along. :P
Of course day, sunset and night versions all seen here! ^^


Hopefully we can at least see a 3rd bg added by the end of the month! I know the plan was to have 5 new bg's added and th...

April news post #3 (mini news)

Hi everyone! ^^ This post for news post #2.

I just wanted to bring to everyone's attention that update 0.10 should be on schedule. I'd love to say it's ahead of schedule, but there is quite a bit of stuff I personally would like to get done before this update happens and even before the end of May.

Below is a few things that I'm looking to push for in April and May.
(1) The first ...

Behind the scenes: Day 14 Section 2

Early preview of the writing for section 2. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Erika.

The section starts off with Brandon and Erika hanging out, as they head to the rooftop to enjoy the view and chat there for a while. They talk for a bit about a few topics and there's a unlocked dialogue that happens based on previous choices. They're interrupted by a girl named Roxie, who is part of the literature club and mentions that Garnet has been trying to get in to...

Behind the scenes: Day 14 Section 1

Early preview of the writing for section 1. (Spoilers!)

This section focuses on Nova & Nathan.


The section begins with Brandon and Nathan hanging outside the academy to catch up on stuff. Nova comes along and chats with them, inviting them to take a morning walk with her. They agree and soon it's a perfect time for Nathan and Nova to get a real chance to get to know each other better, since their previous introduction was cut short. They learn more about...

Nova sprite design change poll! (updated poll)

I made a new poll and deleted the old one. This is because I would like to take more direct feedback in other than "I like this one or that one" That way I can properly consider other concept views if needed correctly. ^^

This post shows how she looks.  

Nova brings along some new changes to her design, so I'd like to see your feedback on these changes before it fully goes into being completed. ^...

Nova sprite design change preview!

I'd like to share with everyone our second preview that tackles the changes being done to certain main characters. (Erika, Nova, Rachel & Heather)

This being focused on Nova of course ^^ So on the left side we have how she looks currently and on the right side is our new concept design for her.

The idea behind the changes to the right is a couple things, I felt like there was something not quite right with how her current look was going for her. It was hard to say if it was ...

New supporter goal hit! ^^

Thank you all who continue to supply us, thanks to those of you who continue to spread word about our project in communities and other means of help! It's all greatly appreciated! <3

Thanks to all of you awesome supporters and fans, we hit our $500 goal per month! (even if it doesn't show that currently, it reached it.)

Starting in May, we'll try to keep our promised goal mentioned. ^^ 

Erika sprite collection

This is a new kind of post I'll be doing through the month of April, it'll show off all of the outfits so far for each character. Many of you might've seen early previous of Erika a long time ago, but this is a all in one collection! ^^

Erika is known for being a bit annoying in a sibling sense, dorky bookworm type. Who can at times be a bit cold and stay quiet around certain people. She's in the literature club as a member and also Brandon's long lost, reunited little sister.
