[Moving forward when it comes to anything art related, our posts will have the spoiler image seen above and let fans know what the art is a spoiler for what kind of content. In this example.. This could be considered possible spoilers for v0.21 content in the near future!]
[The image will say either "possible spoilers" or "big spoilers". With "possible spoilers" being content that is more likely to be very minor spoilers without any given context behind them. "big spoilers"...

Welcome everyone to our first news post for the month! I know we had some rather let down news to share regarding v0.20 and I can't confirm the exact date expected until I see how quickly the engine work comes along, but the moment I see how fast it's coming along. I'll make a post about it, letting everyone have a 48 hour heads up before we release!
Once again, we're sorry with how that turned out and we can beat ourselves up over more than that. But let's at least focus on a few thin...

Today we'll be taking a previewed look at one of two main character oc's 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 would seem the academy has a small report already documented for Ichigo, so let's check it out!

I know our amount of posts made this month has dropped quite a bit as I've been extremely busy with the release situation. Ideally one thing I want to do this year to keep the amount of bloat down on how often we post, is to do simply that. ^^"
This year we're going to try and limit what we post down to about 2, sometimes 3 posts per week. On average we'll expect around 8-10 posts made in a given month, which of course ranges from news posts, art previews, behind the scenes, voting po...

I was hoping to have something put together for everyone a bit earlier this week about this, but either way! Here it is! ^^
Today I'd like to share with everyone a example comparison to see how the wet diaper visuals are being updated for some existing cg art and what we're hoping to see for any future cg art.
The image on the left is what we have currently for this cg scene, it isn't quite like this in-game for v0.19 because we made some slight adjustments to Miki's diaper des...

It's been a bit, but we have another track finished up! ^^
I can't say for sure if this one will make it in for v0.20 with everything going on this month, but there's also probably not many moments to make use of this track yet either. ^^"
This track is meant to be heard during more emotional and sad moments in general, which I hope it'll manage to capture with the writing at times. I'm pretty happy with the result! So once things get a bit more emotional in MA, it'll be interes...

We're around the half way mark into January and so it's about time for another news post as we have some updates on stuff since our previous one! While the major fun stuff will still be in the later half of this month with v0.20's content, I've been extremely busy the past 2 weeks with getting stuff done and keeping with the planned schedule to get 2022 moving!

With the new year here and some changes being made along with it for MA. I wanted to address this while the timing felt pretty good.
As many of you know by now, Artie is stepping down from the project and we're already in talks with a few that are interested in taking over as the programmer. They won't officially begin to show their work on MA until February, but I've had this question in my mind for a while now based on some comments received in the past months regarding the Android v...

I'd like to share the first half of some GUI changes and updates being made to MA with 2022! This will be a short post, but I hope to hear what the general thoughts and reactions are with this. ^^
While getting the finalized gui assets figured out and after seeing what Messy Studios logo ended up turning out like. (As we can see that above too) I noticed that the game's logo could use a update to make it look a bit nicer, but the main worry I had with wanting to update the existing gam...

Hopefully we've all made it into the new year, right? ^^" For supporters last month, you'll probably see me repeating myself a little here, but there should be some detailed plans and mentions that's new as well!
I'd like to first off say that the past is best left in the past, it's no secret that 2021 wasn't a very good year for development. I have expressed a few times or more through the year and struggled with it, so I won't repeat myself like a broken record. Just know that the fa...

In case you missed the mentions in some other posts we've made this month, we're looking to give back to many of you supporters and previous supporters during the year. The short and sweet of it, is that we have some rewards and perks being given out to everyone that qualifies for them to help the healing process of our shortcomings in development...

I'll probably make another post like this once I receive more previews to give a broader idea of these changes, but for now just keep in mind these are two completely different pieces of art from MA.

This will apply for v0.19 being released for the public as well.
I really don't like going back on my word after I've put out the mention that we'd expect new content on Dec 15th. But I have to come out and admit fully that even with trying to get everything wrapped up here within the past week, it just doesn't seem like I'll be able to deliver on the 15th and it's better to admit defeat sooner than last minute. >.<

Hello all! I hope the start of December is treating everyone well so far and into the upcoming Holiday season! ^^
To start off, in my last news post for November. I announced two major things that I feel should be mentioned briefly here for the public to keep everyone informed.
First off, we're planning on getting v0.20 for supporters, v0.19 for public out at the same time, set for December 15th! It isn't quite what we had in mind originally, but this year has been very spotty ...

Continuing with how we handled the Halloween one, we wanted to have the background seen in full and have the characters interacting with or around it, etc. While it isn't picture perfect with having the characters all facing the viewer, we hope it's still very enjoyable and makes it feel full of life going on among the...
