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.
v0.19 will be out here within the next 2-3 weeks, we're sorry about the slight delay with this. ^^" We wanted to include a extra cg scene moment, so we hope the wait will be well worth it. :P
I think the easiest and most boring way to explain it is that you either like X thing or you won't quite get the appeal of said X thing. I mean there's nothing wrong with not liking certain things or not understanding the appeal, I'm sure even those who find diapers appealing have subject material that they can't grasp or understand why people would like it, etc.
I know that isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but the appeal is going to have it's varying degrees of what people find appealing about it to the point where there isn't a one given answer. For myself, I think of the appeal as being linked to humiliation in softer tones that can vary into more extreme tones. Humiliation aside, it can come off as being cute or adorable depending on the situation for a character. (Note with my mentions is that I'm talking purely fictional characters and writing wise, scenario and the like. Real life situations and stuff doesn't really appeal to me, but for other people it might and that's okay too.)
i guess i get that, i can normally at least kinda understand how some people are into various kinks even if i am not into it, but this one is one i just dont understand lol
No worries! :P I totally get it the angle of those that aren't into it or can't quite see what the appeal is too. Sometimes certain kinks can be a bit hard to see what the big pull is all about, just seems to be one of those things. Hopefully my view/angle at least helps a bit, I hope others will chime in though on what their appeal is for it. ^^
Our current schedule/roadmap for 2021 is roughly as follows. (Keyword: roughly ^^")
Late Sept/early Oct - V0.19 releases for the public, v0.20 for patreon Late Oct/early Nov - V0.20 releases for the public, v0.21 for patreon Early Dec - V0.21 releases for the public, V0.22 for patreon
As we head into 2022, our plan is to see how things go with these releases planned and right now the rough idea for 2022 is that we're going to possibly be shooting for a new release every 45 days or less. (Clearly 30-35 days being the best, but trying to find the sweet spot that works best as we're trying to make our releases feel more polished and offer more content visually and overall as we go along.)
Thanks for the heads up, we'll continue to gather information and see what might be causing issues with the Android versions. If you happen to have any other devices to try it with to cross test it, please do just to rule out if it's a device issue perhaps. (Android is always tough because for many like myself it is working on our Android devices without problems, but once in a while we'll get reports where it oddly isn't working.)
Well I do have a newer version of android I have the note 20 idk if that has anything to do with it and I know it's not My storage I will have like 40 GB left to download stuff it could be the platform if there is another place I can download it can you tell me
Gotcha! Thank you for the information, once again. ^^
I'll double check with our engine programmer to see if there's anything that comes to mind to try for fixes. I believe this very issue was brought up with v0.17 a while ago too and we thought it was linked to a newer version of Ren'py software that was downloaded during v0.17 development, but it doesn't seem that way since we went back to a more stable Ren'py update during v0.18 to test that.
(Joys of mobile testing troubleshooting! ^^")
The link below should take you to a publicly open post made on our Patreon. Inside the post there's 3 links for Windows, Mac, Android for v0.18 to be downloaded through MEGA. If you'd like to try that and hopefully it'll help, otherwise we'll keep notes and continue to do some research around as to what might be causing issues. https://www.patreon.com/posts/53311076
Very odd! Is this happening with Win, Mac or Android port? Also have you had previous versions of the game downloaded before or is this your first time?
it’s my first time and I downloaded the most recent update I’m on windows but it is a older laptop can run the game fine just wondering why this was happenig
Gotcha! Just double checking which version the issue was happening with to look into it further as sometimes Android vs Wins/Mac can vary in issues. I've looked around a little on google as I tried recreating the issue personally and couldn't recreate it myself.
When you tried saving, did you close the game too quickly by chance? Might be worth trying a little test of starting a new game and getting a few boxes of dialogue into it before saving, then wait a good 30 seconds just to be extra safe and then close the game. (Followed by relaunching and trying to see if the data is there to load.)
If the above is useless I would suggest trying to maybe delete the zip and game folders you downloaded, try redownloading it fresh again. Try exporting the zip files of the game folder onto your desktop for a test to see how that works.
As a side mention, when you say it deletes your save. Are you noticing the saved data in the game folder is actually disappearing upon closing the game client or do you mean when closing the game, reopening the game to load said data it's gone? (Not sure if that'd really matter, but just trying to think of anything that might stick out to help <.< )
when I reload the game the save isn’t there and idk why I want to play this game but I really bc Nat be bothered going all the way though like 7 days every time I play got to the nurse and it’s so annoying…I just wanna play
Sorry to hear you're still having problems with this. <.< By the sounds of it I'm guessing you're playing the v0.14.5 download? Since the newer versions of the game have episode/chapters instead.
Just trying to confirm which version and all the tech details to look into it further, because v0.14.5 was our last version of the game using Tyranobuilder as our engine. While anything above that uses Ren'py engine and has been much more stable in comparison, smoother, etc.
I've tried to download v0.14.5 and run some tests to recreate this issue. The only thing that I have found that might be the problem and worth mentioning. When you downloaded the game, you are exporting the zip file/folder "Messy Academy v0.14.5" folder from the zip folder itself onto your desktop or into another folder on your computer, right? If you are trying to run the game app inside the zip folder itself, it can't change the contents of the zip folder to keep saved data inside of it. (I only ask this and suggest this because I tried doing this for testing and it was the only thing that led me to the similar issue you're having.)
I've attached a screenshot to show you what the game folder should look like after you have exported it from the zip folder onto your desktop as a example. (This shows the extra folder/files after I have already ran the game once and saved, creating saved data which I highlighted to point out.)
Based on our weekly schedule for writing, we're roughly expecting the next release within the time frame of late August - early September. Of course ideally earlier the better, but that's our safest rough guess with how the development has been proceeding. ^^
Played through this the past few nights, and I had to make an account just to tell you what a wonderful game I thought it was. Amazing work! I don't usually even play visual novels, but I really enjoyed all the writing both through the main story and Miki's Dream. Can't wait to see it finished, keep up the good work! I've played a few ABDL games, and this really feels like the most polished, well-thought out one.
Thank you for your time in making an account to share your thoughts with us! ^^ <3 We hope to continue providing more amazing content as we move forward with the game.
I want to play on My Android phone, but it doesn't seem to work... When i want to select new game, it just does nothing. I've tryed reinstalling, restarting my phone,... Nothing works. Thanks in advance!
That's odd! <.< I believe our Android version tends to be the most iffy for little issues among users, probably a number of things that affects it.
I assume this is a fresh install of the game on your phone, like you didn't have v0.17 or previous already installed before by chance? (I noticed for myself there's issues when I try to install the latest version to replace the old one already on my phone. It won't do what you mentioned, but it doesn't add the new content like it should.)
My other guess is try selecting some of the other buttons on the title screen to see if they work right.
I've downloaded the new update and it seems like the save system has been changed don't really see a reason for that I think more slots is preferable I liked the fact that I could also save all cgi scenes
The save system shouldn't have changed? <.< Are you sure it's v0.18 and not the 0.14 files by mistake as those are older. I just booted up v0.18 on PC and tried saving, checking out the save/load screens and there's still the same amount of slots offered to use and the extra pages below to toggle through and use too.
As for being able to save the cg scenes, I don't know if you're referring to saving the images themselves onto your computer outside the game? You should find those in the game folder in the images sub folder.
0.14.5 is the last version of the game before we swapped to Ren'py engine. There's some content there that is coming to the game still in Ren'py, but plenty of new content on top of it.
0.18 is suggested for new players, then if curious. I'd say check out 0.14.5 to see how things were looking before.
I am twenty minutes into this game and I can honestly say I am shocked to say the least. I was able to keep a straight face for the first four rules, but that fifth one's punishment is unbelievable. The very premise of the punishment is revolting to me, to steal someone's memories is too cruel for me. Memories and experience is the foundation that makes you who and even losing a part of your memory changes you.
This is in no way me saying I hate the game, just this particular part and I hope if there is any scenes in the game like this they can be avoided.
I hope you do enjoy the rest of your experience playing and trying the game, find moments you enjoy very much. ^^ With that said, I won't spoil anything regarding your shocked concern about the rule in question. I think the best I can say without ruining anything, is that there shouldn't be much of a worry regarding this rule, as it's meant to be the most extreme form of punishment for the worst contenders. (Light spoiler for ep 1: If asking John further about rules, he briefly mentions in the past. The academy has only had to make use of that rule once before. Off screen/out of game.)
No update yet. We're currently in the engine progress now and seems to be around 3/4th's of the way finished. If things continue at this rate, we're looking at Friday as a pretty good release date. ^^
Thank you for going through the extra steps just to be able to leave your kind thoughts on the game! <3 ^^ Always means a lot to hear what people are liking or not liking, helps us improve on certain aspects and see what we can do to make up in lesser areas.
Yeah.. <.< We have a 150% confirmed date for the next update for June 26th. Then for July we'll see 3 updates happen. Public release wise, it'll be something like this for this Summer.
June 26th - Miki's Dream July 10th - Episode 4 July 17th - Episode 5 July 31st - Quality of Life update (minor grammar fixes, new choices, background oc characters, new cg variants added, etc.) August 28th - Episode 6 Nova & Miki
I can look into seeing if it'll be possible. I know the end goal will be to offer the finished version of the game with as much support as possible, but I'll have to talk to our engine programmer and see if we can maybe try and get a iphone release going soon.
We've got some really exciting stuff in store coming up this Summer. :P Probably our biggest amount of art coming to the game in a given period of time. We should be seeing the next releases hit later this week/weekend, then the following update will be targeted for end of June. Roughly the next few updates for the game should all come within 2-3 weeks of each other for the Summer.
Trying not to spoil anything too major, but yes there is a route to be added to the game that features cross-dressing and also another one that focuses more heavy on femdom. :P
Right, sorry! Forgot to mention, but eyup! Not in the game yet, I'd say we'll begin to see heavier content of those two around Fall of this year. When playing, before choosing a girl's route, you'll also get a good idea of what kind of content to roughly expect for the girls. ^^
I believe they accept Paypal, but not crypto sadly.
We're still checking over some issues we're running into with the next update, but I'd say roughly to give some wiggle room for error. It could be possible for a new release on May 31st, but we'll know for sure during the weekend. Otherwise the safe bet where it'd be released regardless, would be around June 4-5th.
The flip side is that we're already getting ahead of ourselves by getting some of us to work ahead on episode 5 (as we're getting ep 4 ready for release). We're expecting easily a late June release for episode 5 and from there about every 30-35 days tops for new releases.
Hi! Love the game so far! But I wanted to ask, is there anyway to hide the UI? The scenes in the game are glorious but I don’t have any way to fully appreciate them when the text box is in the way, so it would be nice to hide that for a bit. Other than that I love everything so far! Especially Miki hehe :3
Thanks! ^^ On PC I believe it's by pressing "H" and hitting it again to display it once again when you wish.
If you're on Android we're currently looking into fixing our gui this Summer as there's no way that we're aware of to hide textbox on that version. The plan is to sometime this Summer do a gui overhaul and with it, we'll see a show/hide button next to the textbox that'll make it much simpler for all. (Along with plans to ensure our mobile gui is sized properly)
Glad you're enjoying everything though! Miki is always fun to have pop up and see just what she'll do next. :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.)

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.

so when do you think v19 and 20 will be out for the public?

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.

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.)

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?

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.
what software can i use to launch the game on windows?
You shouldn't need any other software to launch it? <.< It's Ren'py engine.
when is 0.19 coming but i can not wait
v0.19 will be out here within the next 2-3 weeks, we're sorry about the slight delay with this. ^^" We wanted to include a extra cg scene moment, so we hope the wait will be well worth it. :P
off topic but can someone PLEASE explain to me the appeal of diapers? it just seems so gross to me
I think the easiest and most boring way to explain it is that you either like X thing or you won't quite get the appeal of said X thing. I mean there's nothing wrong with not liking certain things or not understanding the appeal, I'm sure even those who find diapers appealing have subject material that they can't grasp or understand why people would like it, etc.
I know that isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but the appeal is going to have it's varying degrees of what people find appealing about it to the point where there isn't a one given answer. For myself, I think of the appeal as being linked to humiliation in softer tones that can vary into more extreme tones. Humiliation aside, it can come off as being cute or adorable depending on the situation for a character. (Note with my mentions is that I'm talking purely fictional characters and writing wise, scenario and the like. Real life situations and stuff doesn't really appeal to me, but for other people it might and that's okay too.)
i guess i get that, i can normally at least kinda understand how some people are into various kinks even if i am not into it, but this one is one i just dont understand lol
No worries! :P I totally get it the angle of those that aren't into it or can't quite see what the appeal is too. Sometimes certain kinks can be a bit hard to see what the big pull is all about, just seems to be one of those things. Hopefully my view/angle at least helps a bit, I hope others will chime in though on what their appeal is for it. ^^
Can we get an updated roadmap?
Sure thing! ^^
Our current schedule/roadmap for 2021 is roughly as follows. (Keyword: roughly ^^")
Late Sept/early Oct - V0.19 releases for the public, v0.20 for patreon
Late Oct/early Nov - V0.20 releases for the public, v0.21 for patreon
Early Dec - V0.21 releases for the public, V0.22 for patreon
As we head into 2022, our plan is to see how things go with these releases planned and right now the rough idea for 2022 is that we're going to possibly be shooting for a new release every 45 days or less. (Clearly 30-35 days being the best, but trying to find the sweet spot that works best as we're trying to make our releases feel more polished and offer more content visually and overall as we go along.)
The game dose still not work for Android please try to fix it
Thanks for the heads up, we'll continue to gather information and see what might be causing issues with the Android versions. If you happen to have any other devices to try it with to cross test it, please do just to rule out if it's a device issue perhaps. (Android is always tough because for many like myself it is working on our Android devices without problems, but once in a while we'll get reports where it oddly isn't working.)
Well I do have a newer version of android I have the note 20 idk if that has anything to do with it and I know it's not My storage I will have like 40 GB left to download stuff it could be the platform if there is another place I can download it can you tell me
Gotcha! Thank you for the information, once again. ^^
I'll double check with our engine programmer to see if there's anything that comes to mind to try for fixes. I believe this very issue was brought up with v0.17 a while ago too and we thought it was linked to a newer version of Ren'py software that was downloaded during v0.17 development, but it doesn't seem that way since we went back to a more stable Ren'py update during v0.18 to test that.
(Joys of mobile testing troubleshooting! ^^")
The link below should take you to a publicly open post made on our Patreon. Inside the post there's 3 links for Windows, Mac, Android for v0.18 to be downloaded through MEGA. If you'd like to try that and hopefully it'll help, otherwise we'll keep notes and continue to do some research around as to what might be causing issues.

It won't download on the new one either idk what is wrong with my phone
hey uhh idk if my game is glitched but whenever I stop playing the game it deletes my saves is there anyway to stop that?
Very odd! Is this happening with Win, Mac or Android port? Also have you had previous versions of the game downloaded before or is this your first time?
it’s my first time and I downloaded the most recent update I’m on windows but it is a older laptop can run the game fine just wondering why this was happenig
Gotcha! Just double checking which version the issue was happening with to look into it further as sometimes Android vs Wins/Mac can vary in issues. I've looked around a little on google as I tried recreating the issue personally and couldn't recreate it myself.
When you tried saving, did you close the game too quickly by chance? Might be worth trying a little test of starting a new game and getting a few boxes of dialogue into it before saving, then wait a good 30 seconds just to be extra safe and then close the game. (Followed by relaunching and trying to see if the data is there to load.)
If the above is useless I would suggest trying to maybe delete the zip and game folders you downloaded, try redownloading it fresh again. Try exporting the zip files of the game folder onto your desktop for a test to see how that works.
As a side mention, when you say it deletes your save. Are you noticing the saved data in the game folder is actually disappearing upon closing the game client or do you mean when closing the game, reopening the game to load said data it's gone? (Not sure if that'd really matter, but just trying to think of anything that might stick out to help <.< )
when I reload the game the save isn’t there and idk why I want to play this game but I really bc Nat be bothered going all the way though like 7 days every time I play got to the nurse and it’s so annoying…I just wanna play
Sorry to hear you're still having problems with this. <.< By the sounds of it I'm guessing you're playing the v0.14.5 download? Since the newer versions of the game have episode/chapters instead.
Just trying to confirm which version and all the tech details to look into it further, because v0.14.5 was our last version of the game using Tyranobuilder as our engine. While anything above that uses Ren'py engine and has been much more stable in comparison, smoother, etc.
I've tried to download v0.14.5 and run some tests to recreate this issue. The only thing that I have found that might be the problem and worth mentioning. When you downloaded the game, you are exporting the zip file/folder "Messy Academy v0.14.5" folder from the zip folder itself onto your desktop or into another folder on your computer, right? If you are trying to run the game app inside the zip folder itself, it can't change the contents of the zip folder to keep saved data inside of it. (I only ask this and suggest this because I tried doing this for testing and it was the only thing that led me to the similar issue you're having.)
I've attached a screenshot to show you what the game folder should look like after you have exported it from the zip folder onto your desktop as a example. (This shows the extra folder/files after I have already ran the game once and saved, creating saved data which I highlighted to point out.)
Hopefully this helps! ^^
when is episode 4 coming out
Based on our weekly schedule for writing, we're roughly expecting the next release within the time frame of late August - early September. Of course ideally earlier the better, but that's our safest rough guess with how the development has been proceeding. ^^
Played through this the past few nights, and I had to make an account just to tell you what a wonderful game I thought it was. Amazing work! I don't usually even play visual novels, but I really enjoyed all the writing both through the main story and Miki's Dream. Can't wait to see it finished, keep up the good work! I've played a few ABDL games, and this really feels like the most polished, well-thought out one.
Thank you for your time in making an account to share your thoughts with us! ^^ <3 We hope to continue providing more amazing content as we move forward with the game.
I want to play on My Android phone, but it doesn't seem to work... When i want to select new game, it just does nothing. I've tryed reinstalling, restarting my phone,... Nothing works. Thanks in advance!
That's odd! <.< I believe our Android version tends to be the most iffy for little issues among users, probably a number of things that affects it.
I assume this is a fresh install of the game on your phone, like you didn't have v0.17 or previous already installed before by chance? (I noticed for myself there's issues when I try to install the latest version to replace the old one already on my phone. It won't do what you mentioned, but it doesn't add the new content like it should.)
My other guess is try selecting some of the other buttons on the title screen to see if they work right.
I've downloaded the new update and it seems like the save system has been changed don't really see a reason for that I think more slots is preferable I liked the fact that I could also save all cgi scenes
The save system shouldn't have changed? <.< Are you sure it's v0.18 and not the 0.14 files by mistake as those are older. I just booted up v0.18 on PC and tried saving, checking out the save/load screens and there's still the same amount of slots offered to use and the extra pages below to toggle through and use too.
As for being able to save the cg scenes, I don't know if you're referring to saving the images themselves onto your computer outside the game? You should find those in the game folder in the images sub folder.
Oh now that I look at it it seems like I ve downloaded the wrong files my bad
0.14.5 is bigger than 0.18 do i need both
Nope. :P
0.14.5 is the last version of the game before we swapped to Ren'py engine. There's some content there that is coming to the game still in Ren'py, but plenty of new content on top of it.
0.18 is suggested for new players, then if curious. I'd say check out 0.14.5 to see how things were looking before.
I am twenty minutes into this game and I can honestly say I am shocked to say the least. I was able to keep a straight face for the first four rules, but that fifth one's punishment is unbelievable. The very premise of the punishment is revolting to me, to steal someone's memories is too cruel for me. Memories and experience is the foundation that makes you who and even losing a part of your memory changes you.
This is in no way me saying I hate the game, just this particular part and I hope if there is any scenes in the game like this they can be avoided.
I hope you do enjoy the rest of your experience playing and trying the game, find moments you enjoy very much. ^^ With that said, I won't spoil anything regarding your shocked concern about the rule in question. I think the best I can say without ruining anything, is that there shouldn't be much of a worry regarding this rule, as it's meant to be the most extreme form of punishment for the worst contenders. (Light spoiler for ep 1: If asking John further about rules, he briefly mentions in the past. The academy has only had to make use of that rule once before. Off screen/out of game.)
Take that information as you will, of course.
has there been a update are did i miss it
No update yet. We're currently in the engine progress now and seems to be around 3/4th's of the way finished. If things continue at this rate, we're looking at Friday as a pretty good release date. ^^
Thank you for going through the extra steps just to be able to leave your kind thoughts on the game! <3 ^^ Always means a lot to hear what people are liking or not liking, helps us improve on certain aspects and see what we can do to make up in lesser areas.
Even though I only played the demo that was a awesome game to play. had me captivated the whole time. 5/5
If I had the money on my laptop I would buy it without hesitation
Glad you enjoyed it! ^^ There will be more content here soon for the public version of the game added, so be on the look out for that.
The updates are rolling in with an amazing staggeringly slow speed
Yeah.. <.< We have a 150% confirmed date for the next update for June 26th. Then for July we'll see 3 updates happen. Public release wise, it'll be something like this for this Summer.
June 26th - Miki's Dream
July 10th - Episode 4
July 17th - Episode 5
July 31st - Quality of Life update (minor grammar fixes, new choices, background oc characters, new cg variants added, etc.)
August 28th - Episode 6 Nova & Miki
is it possible to get this on iphone
I can look into seeing if it'll be possible. I know the end goal will be to offer the finished version of the game with as much support as possible, but I'll have to talk to our engine programmer and see if we can maybe try and get a iphone release going soon.
ok thanks for letting me know
Will we get to see any of the guys diapers?
Without spoiling much, we will see moments that shows the guys diapers off during fitting moments. :P
when is the next update but i can not wait to c what is next
We've got some really exciting stuff in store coming up this Summer. :P Probably our biggest amount of art coming to the game in a given period of time. We should be seeing the next releases hit later this week/weekend, then the following update will be targeted for end of June. Roughly the next few updates for the game should all come within 2-3 weeks of each other for the Summer.
Is there any content related to sissy or cross-dressing or anything of the sort? Any Femdom characters at all?
Trying not to spoil anything too major, but yes there is a route to be added to the game that features cross-dressing and also another one that focuses more heavy on femdom. :P
Cool, so it's not in the game yet, though?
Right, sorry! Forgot to mention, but eyup! Not in the game yet, I'd say we'll begin to see heavier content of those two around Fall of this year. When playing, before choosing a girl's route, you'll also get a good idea of what kind of content to roughly expect for the girls. ^^
Thank you so much for taking the time, and the game is great btw. Keep it up.
I'm not such a fan of adult diapers butt when you embarrass Rachel in class and she... Wow!!!
I'm not familiar with Patreon. Do they accept paypal or crypto?
Also, when is the next update? Love the work you're doing.
I believe they accept Paypal, but not crypto sadly.
We're still checking over some issues we're running into with the next update, but I'd say roughly to give some wiggle room for error. It could be possible for a new release on May 31st, but we'll know for sure during the weekend. Otherwise the safe bet where it'd be released regardless, would be around June 4-5th.
The flip side is that we're already getting ahead of ourselves by getting some of us to work ahead on episode 5 (as we're getting ep 4 ready for release). We're expecting easily a late June release for episode 5 and from there about every 30-35 days tops for new releases.
hi when is the next update
Coming very soon, ran into some issues but it should be next week at the latest. ^^
Hi! Love the game so far! But I wanted to ask, is there anyway to hide the UI?
The scenes in the game are glorious but I don’t have any way to fully appreciate them when the text box is in the way, so it would be nice to hide that for a bit. Other than that I love everything so far! Especially Miki hehe :3
Thanks! ^^ On PC I believe it's by pressing "H" and hitting it again to display it once again when you wish.
If you're on Android we're currently looking into fixing our gui this Summer as there's no way that we're aware of to hide textbox on that version. The plan is to sometime this Summer do a gui overhaul and with it, we'll see a show/hide button next to the textbox that'll make it much simpler for all. (Along with plans to ensure our mobile gui is sized properly)
Glad you're enjoying everything though! Miki is always fun to have pop up and see just what she'll do next. :P
