Hope you'll find it enjoyable! ^^ It provides a pretty interesting twist as it's heavily attached to the school's rules. But there's also some other qualities along the way that help make things feel unique. (The real answer is that there's a whole group of people who enjoy diapers in many different ways, for myself there's a humiliation aspect to it.)
My only complaint is that on the main menu screen, there's no button to exit the game! Pretty minor thing, but figured I'd point it out. Good VN, very cute, I couldn't help but binge through the whole thing in one night!
Thank you for the mention! We'll add it to our list of bug/fixes to address in upcoming releases. ^^ Glad to hear you enjoyed it though, hopefully you'll enjoy the new content along the way as well!
It's very cute! I love the wide variety of girls! I like Miki, cause she's cute and I'm also autistic. Is Zoey also meant to be autistic, or is she disabled a different way?
Thanks! ^^ Glad to hear that! Zoey is actually not autistic, but slight spoilers related to Episode 4 that's hinted towards it.. (She's considered "slow" or not very bright by her cousin Nathan.)
There will be the option for asking your girlfriend in the route if you can attempt it or see how they react to asking. :P Can't promise all girls will enjoy it, but there are a few in the cast that check the marks!
Glad to hear that! ^^ Yeah, sadly there isn't much options for male x male stuff given the setting. On the flip side, we have had demand for female x female content, but we're still unsure exactly how to go about this. It's possible some content like this is offered after the main development is finished for the base game.
Thank you! ^^ Next episode should be coming in July. We had some awkward issues in recent months with programming, but our original programmer is returning this weekend and so we'll be getting content moving along steady once again.
Thank you for all the amazing love, care, passion, and time you have put into this project. May you continue to see great success as development progresses!
I just wanted to offer some words of encouragement and appreciation for all you and your team have accomplished. It can be easy to forget at times, but you and your team are paving the way for others to follow in your footsteps, and creating something that brings enjoyment to many. Thank you for all that you are, and all that you do.
So far pretty smoothly with a few minor hiccups that's typical, but fingers crossed! :P
Forgot to post a update dev log here on itch, but we're looking to get the next set of releases out on May 15th with how progress is coming along in the play test builds for development. So it won't be too much longer for a new update! ^^
So I tried to play the game on windows and it crashes at some points I think it's due to using the skip button. But I seem to be unable to avoid the crashing.
Sorry to hear that this is taking place! >.< That's the first I've heard of it crashing for Windows in a long, long time. (Since before we made the swap to Ren'py as the game engine.)
I'll try recreating the issue on my computer by skipping, using the skip button. (Where exactly are the crashes happening around which scenes and which episodes? Is it always at the same exact spot or feels random?)
Along with that, if you can provide your computer specs and which version of Windows os you're using. This information might provide us with better details.
Added note: I downloaded v0.19 for Windows/Linux from itch.io and tried recreating the issue on my computer, but I couldn't recreate your crashing issue personally.
I'd say knowing your computer specs and exact Windows os version will be the most help. ^^" (I'm assuming it's due to older specs or maybe conflicting software running in the background. Could be a number of things, but I would say not enough ram and maybe it's peaking out while skipping through and trying to load all those assets in a hurry or software running besides Renpy that is causing issues.)
What we can possibly do for v0.19.5 when it comes to the public is set the text skip speed down, so it's slower by default, maybe with the option of decreasing or increasing it for personal taste in config settings.
yeah I just realized it was the game reaching chapter 4. I played the versions prior in 14.5 and didn't think it was suppose to end that quick lol. I do love the new story though it's more interesting.
XD Gotcha! Just to double check, the game is ending at the end of episode 3 and not going into episode 4? Or did you mean when reaching the end of episode 4 it ends. (Former being the intended for v0.19)
I'm happy to hear you like the direction of the new story! ^^ It's been quite a trip once we moved the game engine from Tyranobuilder to Renpy, but we're trying to keep even older moments returning to offer surprises and play off of everything in the grand scheme of things. Overall it's pretty exciting or it should be as the common route events end after episode 5 and routes begin. :P
It feels like a new universe with the changes but they the story is smoother than version 14.5. 14.5 felt like the story was a bit rushed and didn't make sense. The story this time feels right with smoother transitions. An example of 14.5 was the princess vs princess story plot thrown in at the end of the original chapter and the sex scene via drugs. Although the school is much more creepier now like messed up (no pun intended).
Not to spoil things too much, but there are some moments in the game where the pov swaps to other cast members, including females. But I will say this at least, it won't be seen as playing the game as a female protag. (We do have a ton of requests to add a option to play through the game as a female protag, which isn't completely ruled out yet. We do want to tackle it correctly though and look at all angles.)
Very happy to hear that! ^^ I hope even the future content will provide good experiences until we figure out exactly how to go about female protag options. :P Thank you!
Should be able to download v0.19 for free here on itch. Then take the "saves" folder from your v0.18 game folder and copy/paste it to replace the "saves" folder in the v0.19 game folder. Then everything should be copied over for your saves to continue where you left off into new content. ^^
Hi, so it's been like a year I think since I last asked this question. When last asked you guys said it was gonna be added soon... sissy/femdom content or something like it? An all girls school really seems like the place for it haha.
Hi! Without too much spoiling, there is still plans for some sissy/femdom content being added. This might vary from person to person for how far that'll cover, but I can assure you there's 2 routes that focus on both of these to certain degrees! ^^ We'll have route episodes coming along here before Summer, we're just awkwardly dealing with a new programmer situation on the team currently, but they're proving themselves so far this month on getting more used to the existing code and how we handle things for the project. ^^
^^" Can't access since it's a link on your local computer. But without any spoilers for others, if you haven't checked out Miki's Dream. You might want to try playing through that. :P (When you start a new game, it'll ask if you want to play Miki's Dream or start fresh aka Episode 1)
Miki's Dream is seen as a side story, it expands on Miki of course as a character, learning more about them. Timeline wise, it takes place before the guys show up at the academy.
It makes me super happy to hear that from supporters or fans in general! <3 I know personally around v0.14.5 is when we swapped game engines and tried to also take that as a perfect timing to improve the quality overall. So I'm very, very happy to hear that it feels like we've made that kind of impact!
(Of course our current situation is a bit awkward with the programming situation taking a bit longer than I had hoped it would heading into this year after our original programmer stepped down. While that situation is a one day at a time sort of approach to getting on track. I still think it's possible that we can make up lost time as this year unfolds and provide very nice content along the way. The game is on the edge of getting into route content, which for development is going to speed things along. ^^ )
The build I received for v0.19.5 late last night sadly wasn't in ideal shape visually. Sprites positions being half way on screen, off screen or just awkwardly placed. For a update that's mainly offering to display what the game looks like in full HD (1920x1080) quality, I didn't feel comfortable releasing what the game looked like in it's current state for supporters.
Sadly that means I also wish to delay v0.19 for the public until v0.19.5 is in a more presentable state that's expected from our supporters/fans. While v0.19 for the public is ready for release, I wouldn't feel right about releasing it and not having something offered to our supporters in exchange.
I'm discussing things with our programmer today and tomorrow, trying to figure out if we can get everything sorted out by this weekend to release these. I'm extremely sorry for the unexpected delay, it came as a surprise to myself last night as well.
When the next update releases tonight (v0.19), you'll just have to download it from here on itch.io or alternatively you can download from Patreon, F95zone, etc. If you have saved data from v0.18 or before, you just have to copy your "saves" folder over to the new game release folder to replace that "saves" folder with yours. ^^ (Then in-game when you go to load your data, it'll be there.)
[Warning: If saved data from v0.18 is saved right at the very end of episode 3, the data might not work depending on how close your saved data is to the end of episode screen.]
Feb 28th! ^^ As a light heads up we're starting to post little dev update reports at least once or twice monthly on here that's related to our Patreon public posts we make for public fans. :P
Actually yes! ^^ This is something we're offering in one of the near upcoming releases. It'll mainly only appear in the portrait area of the text box ui for the protag being seen, but there will be some rare moments through the game that place you into the pov of other characters.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! ^^ What exactly happens? Is the game able to start up at first okay, but then after playing through and finishing episode 3 it won't go back to the title screen? Or something else, we'll look into this to fix for v0.19 coming very soon.
Oh okay! Gotcha, when trying to launch the app it just isn't loading? Have you tried uninstalling and installing it again to see if that fixes it? (Sadly our mobile support has had quite a bit of reports from users having problems in the past. What we're probably going to end up doing here with our next releases, is add a disclaimer that lightly warns users that our Android builds are lower priority compared to pc/mac builds during major development. It's more of a bonus and hopefully one that works on most devices or doesn't run into many issues for some. ^^" )
when I launch the app, it works as it should. However the buttons in the main menu don't work. Uninstalling and installing it again doesn't work either.
Very odd.. <.< It could be a device side issue possibly. (Hardest part about mobile support/specs) I don't know if you have another phone device or tablet you can try downloading it on to test if it works. We'll try to look into things on our side with the engine, but sadly with mobile. There's a lot more variables going on with it works for one person without any issue, but someone else's device can't launch it, buttons not working, etc.
Regardless, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can't promise we'll be able to fix this, as there's a number of factors at play and our primary development focus for now is more on pc/mac versions working as intended. (We'll still try putting time aside though if there's anything we can do on our end, sorry for the troubles! >.< )
would you possibly consider adding a female player option? doesn't have to be right now as currently below me it would require a story re-write but say you could maybe work on it as a side project if your so inclined incrementally just a thought. Love the game btw! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the suggestion! ^^ I know there's a good amount of support for this becoming a thing at some point for the game, so I can't fully rule it out. I do believe some big concerns would naturally be considering existing cg art adjustments to make it work, along with some that'd just simply need new ones fully. (More adult ones as malexfemale vs femalexfemale has quite a bit more differences for what's going on. ^^")
We'll continue to keep it in mind strongly and check the demand for it as development moves through for the base game, keeping it open for possibilities on what to do or how to go about certain things, etc. It's probably the most demanding thing I've heard for MA, so if that's telling for the odds for this. :P
We're going to have v0.19 out for the public at the end of this month! ^^" We had some unexpected news heading into January with our programmer stepping down, so we had to delay things briefly to make sure the new programmer is brought on and caught up to speed that'll be working on the game moving through 2022. (More details in our dev blog about this below.)
I commented due to the update saying by end of January and it's now going into the 26th (aka 26-31 left) I was a bit confused, I guess nothing new yet.
Sorry, I must've missed this notification. >.< I shared news on Patreon that our new programmer that just took over for our previous on is working on v0.20 and so it wasn't quite expected, but I had to give them a heads up notice of starting sooner than originally expected. I know this one's been a long wait, but the moment it's all in engine here within the next week. We'll get the ball rolling in regards to v0.21 for mid March, v0.22 at start of May, etc. ^^"
Sorry to hear you're having issues with opening it. >.< Just to walk through some steps in case you overlooked something.
(1) - Download "MessyAcademy-0.18-pc.zip" (2) - Open the .zip file with winrar or your choice of unzipping program and extract the folder within to your desktop, etc. (3) - Open the "MessyAcademy-0.18-pc" folder that is now out of the zip folder. (4) - Double click or right click, run as admin on "MessyAcademy.exe" (Only use the -32 version if you aren't using 64bit os.) (5) - Game should load within 5 seconds at the title screen! ^^
(If these steps don't help fix the problem, perhaps it could be a security/protection setting with windows preventing .exe files from running if they're not fully trusted by Microsoft? <.< I haven't heard much of this for Ren'py engine games though.)
Eyup! Bridget and Lola aren't seen yet for v0.18, not to majorly spoil anything. But episodes 1-5 will cover the common route and mainly introduce the cast to the player. ^^
January ^^" Between the busy holidays recently and sudden news, it's slowed things down a tiny bit. We'll have things moving along smoothly again as we're starting up work again on stuff here in the next day or two, many of us are.
I downloaded it on android but I don't know how to play? Is there an app I need to run it through? This is my first itchio download so I don't know what to do
I believe if I'm not mistaken, once the apk file is downloaded onto your Android device. You should be able to find a icon for the game where your recent apps download to and tapping on it will load the game up. ^^ (Within the next update or two, we'll going to update the game app/program icon so it stands out better too.)
So is it in files or the app store? I'm lost. I found its file in files but I tried every option on it and nothing happened. There isn't a way to extract the file that I know of
Sorry about my earlier message. >.< Okay, so I tried downloading it for myself and this is what my steps were. Hopefully this helps!
1. Click Download Now button on the itch page. 2. "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" click. 3. Click Download button above "Messy Academy v0.18 Android 193MB" 4. "Do you want to download android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk?" (For me it asked "again" cause I tried doing it once.) 5. Click Download. (It'll say downloading, along with "details" next to it.) 6. Download finishes. "android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk." (Open), Tap on the Open link/Button. 7. Should pop up a notification. (Messy Academy, shows Ren'py icon) "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? Your existing data will not be lost." Or "Do you want to install, etc." Tap on (Install) Button/link. 8. It will begin installing and then it'll say on the same notification popup. "App installed." (Done) or (Open) tap on the Open button/link. 9. The game should launch to the title screen, enjoy! ^^
(For later when you close out of the game app after all of this. You should be able to now find the Messy Academy app located where your other unorganized apps are located. It'll have the same Ren'py icon seen from the above process until we update said icon in the next coming updates.)
Added note! I think my first time after step 5, once it was finished. It asked me if I'd want to open the app using Malwarebytes or File/Game installer. (Which I assume is part of Android by default? I don't recall having to download anything extra like that.)
Thank you! I tried a different browser and it worked (I know I should've done that earlier but I didn't think it would change anything plus I wanted to try and keep it on duckduckgo)
Sorry! ^^" It's coming this month to kick off the end of this year! (Then in January we're going to get back on a 30-45 day release cycle schedule again.)
Why do I feel like that's a promise that's unable to keep? You need help to push you to do your job don't ya? Sane here. Maybe we can help each other out?
Should expect to see it in-game sometime during Q1 2022 for releases as it'll show up during a select character's route. :P (There will be a hint to who it is in episode 5)
(1) - I haven't fully decided how to go about this, as it won't appeal for everyone. <.< What might happen if there's fitting moments for these scenes to pop up, we'd make it optional by choices and very clear to the player. (I'd take this very lightly as a promise though, more up in the air.)
(2) - Had some personal stuff going on and so it affected some script work, but we're getting stuff wrapped up here within the next 2 weeks before we go on our winter holiday break. (Related to this, but during our break period we're prepping for 2022 so releases happen more consistently around every 30-45 days.)
In relation to Diaper contents: You could just make a setting that is turned off from the Start. Would be the easiest solution, without showing something to someone that he/she didn't want to see, i guess. ( If you go as far as considering it, would be most welcome if you could make two options for fluid contents and more ^-^ )
We're expecting it this month. Should be our last update released for the year besides possibly the following update being quality of life content for ep 1-4 + final gui elements added.
Hi, I was wondering if and how I can download the last version of Messy Academy on the former engine. Thanks. BTW I've been a huge fan of the game since, I think, around July 2019 because of how brilliant this game is. only thing I don't like is Joey and the black haired girl(don't even remember her name :p ) If she was more focused on feminization rather than ntr I think I'd love her though :) . That's fine though because the rest of it is so awesome! I hope new updates come quick cus I'm very excited! Have a lovely day and happy fapping. :D
Must be Lola by the sounds of it. ^^" I will say there isn't any ntr content in the game anymore in both the old engine version above I linked and the Ren'py engine releases. So your wish for feminization is here. :P
We're hoping to have the next set of releases out here soon before we prepare ourselves to get back onto a consistent release schedule of having new content out every 45 days regardless of what assets are missing, etc.
Sorry to hear that. >.< We've been having quite a bit of reports with the Android version causing issues for people, so we're looking into it before v0.19 comes to the public in the coming week.

Haven't tried this yet, just have a question why diapers?
Hope you'll find it enjoyable! ^^ It provides a pretty interesting twist as it's heavily attached to the school's rules. But there's also some other qualities along the way that help make things feel unique. (The real answer is that there's a whole group of people who enjoy diapers in many different ways, for myself there's a humiliation aspect to it.)

hay do you guys know when the next update will be???
Aiming for early this month.
Anal sex?
There will be the option for asking your girlfriend in the route if you can attempt it or see how they react to asking. :P Can't promise all girls will enjoy it, but there are a few in the cast that check the marks!
Interesting game! Wonder if there'll ever be Male X Male stuff but I don't think so considering it's a school for girls only.
Glad to hear that! ^^ Yeah, sadly there isn't much options for male x male stuff given the setting.

I have the .18 version how do I update it without paying for it again

i dont know what exactly is causing this, but on and android apk version of the game it crashes almost instantly.
i found your .ogg folder i see this a fit time to mix up your music

neat
remember 14.5
you my good sir have come quite a bit away and made this far better than i have imagined it to be.

The game is on the edge of getting into route content, which for development is going to speed things along. ^^ )
i think i still have my cg saves in 0.18 that have every version of the cg scenes up to the end.
^^ Very happy to hear that! I believe it was pretty fun for the cg artists to tackle as well!
Its one of those things its creepy but also cute.
Has the new update not been uploaded or is there a bug on my end cause its still showing as v0.18
The build I received for v0.19.5 late last night sadly wasn't in ideal shape visually. Sprites positions being half way on screen, off screen or just awkwardly placed. For a update that's mainly offering to display what the game looks like in full HD (1920x1080) quality, I didn't feel comfortable releasing what the game looked like in it's current state for supporters.

where do i download the update and how do add the update to my save or does it do that automatically
When the next update releases tonight (v0.19), you'll just have to download it from here on itch.io or alternatively you can download from Patreon, F95zone, etc. If you have saved data from v0.18 or before, you just have to copy your "saves" folder over to the new game release folder to replace that "saves" folder with yours. ^^ (Then in-game when you go to load your data, it'll be there.)
[Warning: If saved data from v0.18 is saved right at the very end of episode 3, the data might not work depending on how close your saved data is to the end of episode screen.]
what time is it releasing?
Within about less than 2 hours! ^^ Just gathering the files and uploading across our socials/platforms.
hey when is the next episode gonna come out?
Feb 28th! ^^ As a light heads up we're starting to post little dev update reports at least once or twice monthly on here that's related to our Patreon public posts we make for public fans. :P
Will you ever be able to see your own character?
Actually yes! ^^ This is something we're offering in one of the near upcoming releases. It'll mainly only appear in the portrait area of the text box ui for the protag being seen, but there will be some rare moments through the game that place you into the pov of other characters.
Hi there is a glitch where android users can't start a new game pls help
Thank you for bringing this to our attention! ^^ What exactly happens? Is the game able to start up at first okay, but then after playing through and finishing episode 3 it won't go back to the title screen? Or something else, we'll look into this to fix for v0.19 coming very soon.
no no no, it is the start of the game entirely
Oh okay! Gotcha, when trying to launch the app it just isn't loading? Have you tried uninstalling and installing it again to see if that fixes it? (Sadly our mobile support has had quite a bit of reports from users having problems in the past. What we're probably going to end up doing here with our next releases, is add a disclaimer that lightly warns users that our Android builds are lower priority compared to pc/mac builds during major development. It's more of a bonus and hopefully one that works on most devices or doesn't run into many issues for some. ^^" )
when I launch the app, it works as it should. However the buttons in the main menu don't work. Uninstalling and installing it again doesn't work either.
Very odd.. <.< It could be a device side issue possibly. (Hardest part about mobile support/specs) I don't know if you have another phone device or tablet you can try downloading it on to test if it works. We'll try to look into things on our side with the engine, but sadly with mobile. There's a lot more variables going on with it works for one person without any issue, but someone else's device can't launch it, buttons not working, etc.
Regardless, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can't promise we'll be able to fix this, as there's a number of factors at play and our primary development focus for now is more on pc/mac versions working as intended. (We'll still try putting time aside though if there's anything we can do on our end, sorry for the troubles! >.< )
when is the next update?
would you possibly consider adding a female player option? doesn't have to be right now as currently below me it would require a story re-write but say you could maybe work on it as a side project if your so inclined incrementally just a thought. Love the game btw! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the suggestion! ^^ I know there's a good amount of support for this becoming a thing at some point for the game, so I can't fully rule it out. I do believe some big concerns would naturally be considering existing cg art adjustments to make it work, along with some that'd just simply need new ones fully. (More adult ones as malexfemale vs femalexfemale has quite a bit more differences for what's going on. ^^")
We'll continue to keep it in mind strongly and check the demand for it as development moves through for the base game, keeping it open for possibilities on what to do or how to go about certain things, etc. It's probably the most demanding thing I've heard for MA, so if that's telling for the odds for this. :P
Thank you for responding and its nice to know its on your minds! Have a nice day!
Will we ever get to see Brandon change any of the girls himself?
I'll consider this not too much of a spoiler, but without saying too much about the details. Yes, we shall! :P
Is there any new news?
We're going to have v0.19 out for the public at the end of this month! ^^" We had some unexpected news heading into January with our programmer stepping down, so we had to delay things briefly to make sure the new programmer is brought on and caught up to speed that'll be working on the game moving through 2022. (More details in our dev blog about this below.)
https://messy-studios.itch.io/messy-academy/devlog/331487/new-years-announcement
I commented due to the update saying by end of January and it's now going into the 26th (aka 26-31 left) I was a bit confused, I guess nothing new yet.
further to the point, it's now 12 days later and my original question is up in the air.
Sorry, I must've missed this notification. >.< I shared news on Patreon that our new programmer that just took over for our previous on is working on v0.20 and so it wasn't quite expected, but I had to give them a heads up notice of starting sooner than originally expected. I know this one's been a long wait, but the moment it's all in engine here within the next week. We'll get the ball rolling in regards to v0.21 for mid March, v0.22 at start of May, etc. ^^"
so when do you think v19 and 20 will be out for the public?
i'm trying to open messy academy on windows and it wont open so if you know how to fix it let me know
Sorry to hear you're having issues with opening it. >.< Just to walk through some steps in case you overlooked something.
(1) - Download "MessyAcademy-0.18-pc.zip"
(2) - Open the .zip file with winrar or your choice of unzipping program and extract the folder within to your desktop, etc.
(3) - Open the "MessyAcademy-0.18-pc" folder that is now out of the zip folder.
(4) - Double click or right click, run as admin on "MessyAcademy.exe" (Only use the -32 version if you aren't using 64bit os.)
(5) - Game should load within 5 seconds at the title screen! ^^
(If these steps don't help fix the problem, perhaps it could be a security/protection setting with windows preventing .exe files from running if they're not fully trusted by Microsoft? <.< I haven't heard much of this for Ren'py engine games though.)
hey it worked thanks your profile looks like miki
Eyup! Bridget and Lola aren't seen yet for v0.18, not to majorly spoil anything. But episodes 1-5 will cover the common route and mainly introduce the cast to the player. ^^
new update when
January ^^" Between the busy holidays recently and sudden news, it's slowed things down a tiny bit. We'll have things moving along smoothly again as we're starting up work again on stuff here in the next day or two, many of us are.
I Remember Playing the Game In the Early-er Phases And It Has Gotten better.
Also When I Get It On Android It Wont Let me open The File.
Yeah >.< sadly there's more issues with the mobile version, but we're looking into applying some fixes for it here in January.
Thats Good.I Rember Beating The Game All Endings.
I downloaded it on android but I don't know how to play? Is there an app I need to run it through? This is my first itchio download so I don't know what to do
I believe if I'm not mistaken, once the apk file is downloaded onto your Android device. You should be able to find a icon for the game where your recent apps download to and tapping on it will load the game up. ^^ (Within the next update or two, we'll going to update the game app/program icon so it stands out better too.)
So is it in files or the app store? I'm lost. I found its file in files but I tried every option on it and nothing happened. There isn't a way to extract the file that I know of
Sorry about my earlier message. >.< Okay, so I tried downloading it for myself and this is what my steps were. Hopefully this helps!
1. Click Download Now button on the itch page.
2. "No thanks, just take me to the downloads" click.
3. Click Download button above "Messy Academy v0.18 Android 193MB"
4. "Do you want to download android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk?" (For me it asked "again" cause I tried doing it once.)
5. Click Download. (It'll say downloading, along with "details" next to it.)
6. Download finishes. "android.messyacademy-18-universal-release.apk." (Open), Tap on the Open link/Button.
7. Should pop up a notification. (Messy Academy, shows Ren'py icon) "Do you want to install an update to this existing application? Your existing data will not be lost." Or "Do you want to install, etc." Tap on (Install) Button/link.
8. It will begin installing and then it'll say on the same notification popup. "App installed." (Done) or (Open) tap on the Open button/link.
9. The game should launch to the title screen, enjoy! ^^
(For later when you close out of the game app after all of this. You should be able to now find the Messy Academy app located where your other unorganized apps are located. It'll have the same Ren'py icon seen from the above process until we update said icon in the next coming updates.)
Added note! I think my first time after step 5, once it was finished. It asked me if I'd want to open the app using Malwarebytes or File/Game installer. (Which I assume is part of Android by default? I don't recall having to download anything extra like that.)
Thank you! I tried a different browser and it worked (I know I should've done that earlier but I didn't think it would change anything plus I wanted to try and keep it on duckduckgo)
new update when!?!?
Sorry! ^^" It's coming this month to kick off the end of this year! (Then in January we're going to get back on a 30-45 day release cycle schedule again.)
Why do I feel like that's a promise that's unable to keep? You need help to push you to do your job don't ya? Sane here. Maybe we can help each other out?
when will we see feminization content?
Should expect to see it in-game sometime during Q1 2022 for releases as it'll show up during a select character's route. :P (There will be a hint to who it is in episode 5)
2 questions: Will we get to see the inside of anyone's used diaper? When is the update?
(1) - I haven't fully decided how to go about this, as it won't appeal for everyone. <.< What might happen if there's fitting moments for these scenes to pop up, we'd make it optional by choices and very clear to the player. (I'd take this very lightly as a promise though, more up in the air.)
(2) - Had some personal stuff going on and so it affected some script work, but we're getting stuff wrapped up here within the next 2 weeks before we go on our winter holiday break. (Related to this, but during our break period we're prepping for 2022 so releases happen more consistently around every 30-45 days.)
In relation to Diaper contents: You could just make a setting that is turned off from the Start. Would be the easiest solution, without showing something to someone that he/she didn't want to see, i guess.
( If you go as far as considering it, would be most welcome if you could make two options for fluid contents and more ^-^ )
I, for one, would also like to see that!
update when is it coming out
We're expecting it this month. Should be our last update released for the year besides possibly the following update being quality of life content for ep 1-4 + final gui elements added.
This is one of many fetish that i'll never understand even if i try to
Hi, I was wondering if and how I can download the last version of Messy Academy on the former engine. Thanks. BTW I've been a huge fan of the game since, I think, around July 2019 because of how brilliant this game is. only thing I don't like is Joey and the black haired girl(don't even remember her name :p ) If she was more focused on feminization rather than ntr I think I'd love her though :) . That's fine though because the rest of it is so awesome! I hope new updates come quick cus I'm very excited! Have a lovely day and happy fapping. :D
Hi! ^^ Glad to hear that. I assume you mean the final version we released on Tyranobuilder engine?
https://www.patreon.com/posts/messy-academy-v0-55732815
Must be Lola by the sounds of it. ^^" I will say there isn't any ntr content in the game anymore in both the old engine version above I linked and the Ren'py engine releases. So your wish for feminization is here. :P
We're hoping to have the next set of releases out here soon before we prepare ourselves to get back onto a consistent release schedule of having new content out every 45 days regardless of what assets are missing, etc.
Have a good day as well! ^^
I'm trying to run this on Android... But it just won't work.
It crashes every single time I try to start
Sorry to hear that. >.< We've been having quite a bit of reports with the Android version causing issues for people, so we're looking into it before v0.19 comes to the public in the coming week.
I hope your team can find the issues, I've been excited about this for quite a while!
For sure! ^^ We'll include any mentions of it within our dev logs posted here, hopefully we'll sort out some issues with it.
