The replay gallery should be on the main menu. If it disappeared, I wouldnt know why. But I think Will's android port doesn't have it activated? I'll talk to them about it again later.
As of right this moment, I think I am good. I changed my email here on a diff device and added two factor to that new email. Crossing my fingers. Sorry I let this happen, guys. This has been an absolute nightmare.
The change came with the UI. I hadn't seen how much they changed the save system until testing and shipping. Upon first glance it looked functionally similar. But it has definitely been the bane of this update. I'll take some time looking to see if we can make it more like the old one.
Edit: I'll see about releasing 0.5.2 with a fix for the saves, specifically.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate the kind words. It's not been easy to set the game aside and be with my family. But when they call, I have gotten used to giving them my time. They are the ones I have the biggest obligations for, and I love them, after all. I'm glad people are receptive to that. I can only promise that I am continuing to work on the project, even if it's at a slow pace. Look forward to seeing more, and I can't wait to finish the story for you all.
Not in Academy, but in the sequel it will be available. It's a direct continuation of the game. I just broke it up into two parts for development purposes. Once you play it all the way through, you will see the true ending isn't in Academy.
the most recent 1.8.0 walk through covers everything. The last bits are mostly linear, so the two updates after it don't introduce anything branching enough to include in a guide.
Thanks for playing! That's an interesting idea. There probably won't be travel time concepts like that. I prefer a story driven, steady flow. But the distance WILL play a role in the idea isn't totally lost on me. I'm struggling just to illustrate traveling at the moment. So, please bear with me >.> I'm a bit too ambitious for my own good sometimes, I think.
Academy will stop here, but I am working on its sequel: Alliance, which is a direct continuation of the story. You could call that a new version of the game.
Yeah that sounds like a bug. You are always welcome to translate the game if you want. I wouldn't stop you. But if you need a lot of help from me, I won't be much help, sorry. All of my focus goes to the content, upkeep, and images I need to shoot.
Yeah, I think it will be fine. It's difficult to drip feed the story, right? I have in mind what the full picture looks like, but I'll try to at least be more mindful of the player's automony. More choices in terms of reactions seems to be the way to go. So I'll try to give the Josie haters more autonomy. But also SPOILERS FOR ALLIANCE:
Josie's intentional or unintentional mindmeld IS intended to be fucking with the MC's perception some. So while we might be thinking, "why wouldn't he react more violently", that feeling of attachment to her is playing a part. I think I failed to get that feeling accross, so I will likely add some lines to that effect. A kindda brain fog for the MC until our pivot point. Which will give some of you catharsis later.
Most of the big pay off is meant to be later when I give the player significantly more automony. So I'll be getting there sooner, rather than later. No more "bait and switch".
Ok, maybe not this update, but I'll look into it if I remember to. EDIT: In the new update I changed the text. But it's white now, and better for most scenes but not all. Perhaps next time I will add the option to change the colors of your own choosing
Hi! I am glad people like it for the story. I hope to keep the adventurous themes and personalize feeling of each character as we go on. It's been hard, so I appreciate it. Thank you again for your support.
I'm still working on the sequel. Not even 20% through my plans for this one. I don't have the free time anymore. But I work on it, I promise >.> In fact Ill release some shots on discord and Patreon tonight
Thank you for the positive words. I think your preferences are normal. I have certainly heard it both ways. Ultimately, I can only tell the story that I want to tell, so my intentions will stay the same, but I understand if that's not your thing. If you decide that is distasteful to you, thank you for giving the story a try anyways.
There are 10, 1 area is darken purposesly, and 1 city has been excluded for another reason. But you might be right that the menu should be resized. Juden is a city that should appear on the map, but doesn't feature on the list.
