[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!]

[~V0.20.5 content~]
<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.

-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! Sadly Android isn't working with v0.20.5 as we didn't have the correct files prepared for it, again I'm sorry!

-Episode 5's music intentionally fades in and out at set points during scenes, with there being no music at all at times. 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-0.20" and the About screen in-game will list it as "Version 0.20" but I assure you, this is v0.20.5. We're sorting this out as well and aware of it. It'll be fixed with v0.21's public release.

{~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!

-Some CG scenes in-game are outdated in style and will be updated in the future with QoL fixes/additions.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.)
