V0.22-Demo 2
<Public Build>
{~Adjustments/Notes~}
-Transferring saved data from v0.20 series should work. Some old save data might also be broken when trying to load it in this build, due to new GUI changes and adjustments made to the game’s coding. It’s recommended to play fresh from the beginning or use save data from near the end of episode 4 or any point during episode 5, if you have the data.
-Episode 5’s music intentionally fades in and out at set points during scenes, with there being no music at all sometimes. This is intentional, we’re toying around with the sound direction for the game as a whole to include more music and ambience along development.
-The downloaded .zip or file will wrongfully be listed as “MessyAcademy-0.21” and the About screen in-game will list it as “Version 0.21” but I assure you, this is v0.22. We’re sorting this out as well, and we’re aware of it.
-New free roaming scenario player choices in Episode 5! This demo includes: drama, volleyball, anime, and science club choices for these. (We highly suggest not clicking the gymnastics club option, as it might crash the game or return you to the title screen.)
-SFX. We’ve decided to hold off on adding new sfx into the game, mainly because we’ll be tackling this from scratch for Episode 1 and beyond when we get to the QoL addition/fix updates in January forward.
-Episodes 1-4 might have sprite expressions or visuals that don’t match their current text in-game. Example: Nurse Bell and Karissa are sporting sweet pamps now, but we haven’t added new text to reflect this yet. (Coming with our QoL additions/fix update in December and beyond.)
-There aren’t CG scenes for the free roaming scenario content. Valerie and Bonbon’s outfits during the flashback display them in their school uniforms intentionally, this is because we didn’t have outfits for them to fit the flashback scene at this time. (We’re also working on adding new BG and CG art to the game, but these will happen with the QoL additions/fix updates in January and beyond.)
-We’re aware that there’s visual bugs, these are being fixed up currently before the full release. To name a few we’ve spotted during testing: “…” text appears incorrectly, some names are bold and others are not within the namebox. The “menu” button when expanded out, blocks some text at times, this is being addressed and placed elsewhere to avoid this. Feel free to point out other bugs/visual issues you notice that aren’t listed here. <3

-Android support. This is working with v0.21, but the Android build’s download is being delayed for a day. Our programmer needs to supply me with that, as I can’t do it myself, apologizes for that!

{~Known or possible issues being looked into~} (Feedback very helpful! <3)
-Our recent GUI text box has received near finalized font text, size and color scheme. We’d appreciate any feedback regarding this for how text readability feels. We’d love to include other options to help readers within our settings, so please let us know your thoughts!
-Android builds are coming a day later, I wasn’t able to export the builds for that myself.
-Some CG scenes in-game are outdated in style and will be updated in the future with QoL fixes/additions.
-Episodes 1-4 might have sprite expressions or visuals that don’t match their current text in-game. Example: Nurse Bell and Karissa are sporting sweet pamps now, but we haven’t added new text to reflect this yet. (Coming with our QoL fixes/additions during development.)
-Episode 5, Scene 5. There are 2 or 3 moments where the screen shakes longer than it should and delays the text from appearing during these. This is a known issue and is being fixed.
-Extra’s screen for the gallery needs further testing to know if the CG scenes displayed are linked to personal save data or if it automatically has some of these unlocked instantly for fresh players who haven’t downloaded the game before. Along with figuring out if newly added CG scenes properly appear after seeing them during Episode 5 content.
This is our public build/version of the game that’s one month behind what our support build/version currently offers.

[Our new approach to game development schedules has us releasing smaller bite-sized amounts of content once per month, so our next update planned is set for October! For the next support build/versions this will be v0.22. That update will focus on the rest of episode 5’s content and ep 1 & 2’s QoL additions and fixes, including the female protagonist Blythe being playable! For our next public build/versions this will be v0.21, our current support build, which features 3 new scenes continuing episode 5 that’s between 10-12k word count, new animated cg scenes and sound effects, plus much more!]
