Hi everyone! I've recently reached out to an awesome artist who focuses on character sprites. After some chatting together in the last few days, I'm glad to say that over the upcoming months. Messy Academy will begin transitioning from 3d into 2d! This will start out slowly with character sprites being the first to become 2d art. These 2d sprites will be added into the game once finished, so it might look a little weird for a while.. But I hope everyone is excited with this news.

This is a reminder that later today (Oct 13th) Those of you at high enough support tiers, will be randomly picked out to have the chance to beta test this upcoming build and choose to give feedback on it, bug reports or just have the chance to check it out while it's still in progress. it should be clear that beta tests might not offer everything that will be part of the actual release of this build, think of it as a sneak preview of some of the new content coming with or without bug issues :...

So build_0.03 is currently being worked on and I thought it'd be nice to share some details on what to expect in this build once it's completed.
The first major focus of this build is that chapter 1 is receiving a reworking in some of it's story elements, dialogue and of course much needed choices! The story changes are to help explain some elements that aren't really explained currently, like how exactly are these boys able to attend a all girls school without being in trouble? This i...

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be tossing level 3+ supporters into a random picker generator to select who will get the chance to try out a early version of build_0.03! Since this build is currently being worked on, there might be content missing and issues that we're aware of fixing before release.
Those selected to beta test will receive a private message late night on Oct 13th with a link to the build. Listed in the message will address what is currently added to the bui...

Chapter 1 will be receiving a reworking on it's dialogue, some added cg scenes, added choices, along with some other minor things to improve the experience.
That is the plan, but I've also had feedback that chapter 1 feels like it's too set on rails like, in the sense that there isn't any choices or anything going on till the end of chapter 1. So.. I'm reaching out to ask you guys, what you think. Should chapter 1 be okay with some added choices that pop up for stat increases or would...

I've been a bit quiet the last few days, but with changes to the over all patreon page with reward tiers and how those will be handled. I'd suggest you all to just double check and see what you're supporting amount gives you in return now! :) Just as a reminder, for those who can beta test builds before they release.. There won't be a beta build for build_0.02, purely because of how everything is switched over to 2 week releases plan, instead of ...

So I'm piecing together some stuff for the next build still and while I wanted to release this new build about a week early, before it's been 4 weeks since the last update. I sadly need to delay the new build so it'll fall into the 4 week period. Hopefully that will allow me to have more time to add a bit more into it.
Look forward to build_0.02 on Oct 6th! Then following that release, as mentioned in my previous post.. New updates will be every 2 weeks instead of 3-4 weeks. So build_0...

Just wanted to give a update to everyone that starting on October 1st I'll be making changes to how new demo builds are released.
Starting on that date, after build_0.02 has released. I'll be releasing new builds every 2 weeks instead of every 3-4 weeks of wait. This is so that there's new stuff to check out quicker for people and it allows me to also update any bug fixes, changes and stuff that needed addressed between big builds.
So for example this is how it'll look for patr...

Just a quick update to my patrons to let everyone know that the next build is currently in the works. I'm aiming to have it released by the end of this month so that new builds of the game will always come out around that time each month. I've received some bugs and issues, along with general feedback and have already began addressing them, more information will be posted later about what the next build will feature and what changes have been made to the game.

So I recently changed a few things for my patreon page, two supporter tiers have been changed slightly. One being that $5 supporters now have access to Q&A sessions monthly while the previous $10 tier is now $15, it now has preview upcoming future build content before it's released. This ranges from a new demo builds scenes, music, characters, dialogue, etc. Anything that is going to be added into the next demo build update you'll be able to have sneak previews of seeing behind the scenes...

Sorry for the lack of preview! Here we have a quick 1 minute preview of the start of the game in action, not very much going on in it. But it shows how bare bones things will look as I add custom UI and things change through builds of the game! :)

Tonight's preview is showing off the rest of the girl characters in the series. Some new ones included. Each character has over 6+ different emotions to show how they feel during the visual novel. Every girl character has 3-4 outfits to unlock along with 3-4 different diapers to unlock, giving a bit of a difference on replay.
Tomorrow night's preview will focus more on showing off in game scenes and game play!

Hi yall sorry for the lack of updates! As mentioned in my last news update post things took a turn for the worse with getting the demo released on time and while sadly I don't have things fixed yet. I wanted to let everyone know that from now till the end of this month I'll be on the quiet side for posts, as I'll be focused on putting my free time towards getting this released asap.
I'm sorry for the delay again, I really do hope once things release everyone will enjoy this much more ...

I'm trying to fix the demo and have it online within the next few days from now, but I'm also really busy outside of working on this. The ideal plan would be to have this fixed up in the next few days but in order not to pull yall around.. I'd say the demo is delayed till the end of this month.

Making things a bit hard for me to get progress done on the visual novel, but I am 90% finished with the script for chapter 1 with easily has between 10-15k word count.
This week coming up is going to be crazy as I'll be trying to get everything put together in order to reach my goal of releasing the first playable demo by the end of this month! I ...

Hi yall! Once again back with another news update.
So the last few days has been exciting progress for the visual novel, I'm about half way done with the script for chapter 1, which is the size of how big the first demo will be. (Least 1-2 hours long if I had to guess)
The visual novel will have at least 10 chapters in total if not more and each chapter will consist of 10,000 or more word count. This should give a good idea of how much more bigger the visual novel is in relati...

The goal of this poll is to see what yall would prefer for the visual novel.. play through the story and choices as Brandon from the comic or type your name in and insert yourself as the protag.
The later option will make dialogue from the protag much more silent than the first option, as I would have to have neutral chats for a self insert aside from the choice options that pop up to allow you choices to progress the story and events, etc.

Just wanted to share with yall real quick that the previous plan of letting the protag of Messy Academy be yourself aka type your name in and be mostly silent till choices show up, didn't quite feel right for the story. I tried making it work but no matter how I try to include that, it ends up feeling out of place..
I can change it to the previous option for protag or I can leave it as the main character from the comic, it's just based on what yall wish to see as the first option will ...

Hi yall! Sadly not much as been done in the mean time regarding the visual novel in the past week. I managed to get some character sprites and emotes ready for some characters and begin messing with the game engine being used.
I'm hoping to have quite a bit to report back to yall by this coming weekend as I want some alpha footage to be ready to show everyone by then! :P
Hang tight and let's see this project become awesome soon enough!

Hi yall! So as I've said in my last news post.. I'm going to be really really busy and that I won't have too much to show towards the visual novel project till at least the first week of July. However.. I did manage to sneak just a little bit of time into getting more character, background and images ready to be used within the engine for the novel. If I can get those images fully ready to be transferred into the engine by the end of June. I'll be happy with that progress..

Hi yall, I want to start off by saying I'm sorry but over the last week and this week. I have been really busy and so my progress on the visual novel has slowed down a bit but still aiming to have that demo ready by the end of July.
I don't have anything to show off for last week or this week. But my next action for updates will show some early story and route option game play being tested.
