I'm happy to share a couple variants of the finished cg art for Nova's route episode 6 below, this will show up in v0.21's release. What you're about to view below is a completely new moment in the game that hasn't been there before for Nova...

I've got some early concept previews for cg art that'll be seen within v0.21 for Nova's route episode 6! This is a moment that hasn't been in the game before in the past, completely brand new, so without some context, it'll probably only tell...
2022-04-05 21:31:18 +0000 UTC View PostIt's time again to go over some news and rough expectations for April! Now that April's Fool's Day is out of the way, we can get serious! ^^ (I had half thought about joining in on posting some stuff, but decided against as I haven't really done any April Fool's Day stuff before in the past and didn't want to start now, more so with some bumpiness still.)
Anyways, let's get right into things! As typical of these news posts, expect a mountain of text, but I'll section everything out nea...
[The main purpose of this post is for those who are curious about supporting us at the $200-275 tier. Below are moments in the game that we personally feel could've received a cg scene focused around the given moment, but due to select resources and budgeting, etc. We had to pick the most important moments for the game and keep moving forward, with very slim chance of these coming to vision without extra support/funding.]
To put it simply, if you choose this support tier for a...
To end this month, I'd like to personally say thank you to everyone who decided to support us in March! We managed to release v0.19 for the public and v0.19.5 for supporters this month, which is huge in moving forward in development again!
We're not quite out of our development hole yet and still discussing the plans for April to see what is expected, but I hope to have these details listed in our first news post for April 2nd-3rd.
This is not confirmation yet, but my personal g...

Today I'd like to share with everyone some sprite art additions being added for Lola! One thing that I've been wanting to do for a while with Lola for additions to wrap up her sprite needs is to help beef her character up more surrounding the idea of cosplay. Not just cosplay, but the creation...

I'm happy to announce! All chibi stuff is done for now! :P There is still plans for the future to have the artist come back and add alt outfits for these characters, much like they did for the main cast. But that won't be until late this year if given the chance.
Also, just a reminder these were a low priority thing in development costs. It didn't take time away from cg art or sprite art, etc. I wanted to add these additions into the game badly enough that I had a little extra funds o...
I've got some chibi art in progress to share with everyone! ^^
Narukkod who has done all the chibi art provided for MA's splash art screens between episodes in-game was called upon again this year to have them tackle some additional outfits for existing chibi's for the cast. Something that we saw a preview with last month.
But the major chibi stuff is that support characters are receiving their own chibi's! They'll be featured on the splash art screens during route episodes that...
Our final news post for March is here! I'm trying to condense these posts a little bit better and straight to the topics focus, etc. ^^" Generally seems like it's best overall with that method.
Let's dive into things! ^^

I still have to chat with Madi (Our programmer) to get a rough idea of their schedule and expectations laid out before me. But my plan is to move forward with v0.20 of course, finally!

I've been meaning to update the Patreon support tiers and adjust some stuff for this year for a while now, but it's priority wasn't very high on the list of things to do right away... ^^"
Jumping right into it, below are the new changes and adjustments to support tiers! (Some stuff will be adjusted in the coming months as we replace play guide with the god modes again.)

[Edit 03/26/2022: Mac build version should be working now without the terminal command fix pictured below, but let me know if it's still not working right. The gui should also not have any text box buttons floating in the middle of the screen, but this might be only related to Android right now. Android build is being fixed, currently the gui placement is messed up.]

While I can't beat Miki on how energetic and excited she can be, I can sure as much try to match her levels for this amazing track! ^^
I'd like to fit some of the new music into v0.20 as we get moving along again, this track included, but with some of the new music that needs to be added to older episodes. That might take some time, but I can assure you this track will play during Episode 1 when Miki is first introduced and during her route.
I wanted her theme to fit for her pe...

I know we started off with this month feeling defeated with the announcement of delaying v0.19.5 release and having issues with the programming situation slowing us down. But I'm happy to give some ray of hope from what I've been able to see first hand on yesterday!
Let's jump right into talking about v0.19.5!

If you've seen our mini news update on the 8th, we briefly gave everyone, including our public fans a small update on how the ...
It's been a week into March so far, so I'd like to briefly keep everyone supporter or fan informed on how things are unfolding so far!
In case you aren't up to speed on the situation, we were hoping to release v0.19.5 for supporters and v0.19 for public on Feb 28th. But the state of the build didn't feel ideal to me for a update that's focused on the visuals being the selling point of it, simply put. I've chatted with our programmer since then to get a rough idea on what to expect for ...
For those of you who have been around since early 2021, you may recall that we had some chibi art made for the game. Mainly used for the splash art screens, which if you don't know what those are.. They're the screens that pop up at the start of each episode. :P (Just details the episode name and displays some cute chibi art of the characters. ^^
Well! I reached out to the original chibi artist in hopes of getting a few extra variants done for extra outfits and some other surprises! So...
During February, our CG artist had some downtime while waiting on his friend that handles the drawing phases. So I had them improve some visuals for the cg art that exists, along with what we can expect from these visuals moving forward! ^^
They're not very huge differences, but mainly the biggest differences are the fart effects and more so the diaper reflective/shine, highlights to help give a subtle touch to the visuals. We're not looking for exact realism, as the fantasy is oftenti...
We got a lot to go over in this month's news post, talking about development in general for the project and some change of plans to adjust around our situation taking place currently to do the best we can revolving things and keep everyone informed the best we can.
Before we jump into it, please understand that behind the scenes in development things are very stressful right now with our given situation. It's very difficult and there's a lot going on in decision making that will be unf...
Sadly I need to announce that v0.19.5 has been delayed last minute... This isn't something I had intended on doing, but with the given state of what v0.19.5 looks like in the play test version I received last minute tonight... Let's just say I'm not happy to share what MA looks like in it's current state, it's simply broken and rushed looking, something that I wouldn't feel right about releasing right now.
The biggest problem with it, is that sprite positions for existing content are e...
Today we'd like to share a preview for our second main character oc being added to MA during development! (No set plan exactly when yet.) During our Kickstarter campaign in late 2020, we offered a few high costing tiers and this was one of the perks for a higher costing tier!
It seems that the academy has a small document report on Haha, so let's see what we can figure out about this new student!

As we hit the halfway point of this month, I'd like to briefly toss out some updates in news regarding v0.20 and how it's coming along, as well as what we're doing so far towards v0.21 content which will come very quickly.
