Overhaul, First Taste [Patreon].gif
OVERHAUL, FIRST TASTE — $5 RELEASE


After an excruciating month of work, during which our only developer had to singlehandedly rewrite over 20.000 lines of code, we are finally ready to present the first glimpse at the future of Academy34.

This is not (yet) a massive overhaul, that changes the entire game within a single patch, but the first of many updates, that will gradually replace old and outdated assets, legacy code, and anything that we deem below our personal quality standards. This release opens a door into a new world of possibilities for us, as developers, and gives us a chance to finally implement numerous changes and new additions we've been quietly cooking behind the scenes. Today you will see the first results of our work, which includes new and improved background images for the medical bay, new character sprites in a crisp FullHD glory, a new questline, intro into Seraphina's story, and even a whole new character to interact with!

You can find the full list of changes below, or jump straight into the new update and experience the new additions yourself. Also, feel free to continue playing on your existing save file. The new questline will be automatically triggered if you have previously completed Prologue tasks.

MAJOR CHANGES AND ADDITIONS


  • Expanded Prologue finale, featuring Clyde and many drunken misadventures!
    While we understand that the main appeal of playing our game are the numerous girls and their meticulously crafter romantic storylines, we want to stay loyal to the core idea behind our game - the disarray that is student's life. For that reason alone, we want to give much more attention to the casual and friendly relationship main protagonist is building with surrounding people. That includes, but not limited to, your beloved cowboy buddy Clyde. This update adds a whole new questline, which is automatically triggered once you complete the final Prologue task, and allows you to experience the beginning of a many year-long partnership by consuming an unethical amount of spicy water and subsequently losing any and all track of reality in the most comical fashion possible. All strictly non-sexual, because Patreon would nuke our page if we added drunken coitus.

  • First part of Seraphina's rework!
    The Academy's only doctor, forever tired Seraphina, has been pending for an update far too long. Throughout the last year or so, we've considered a few options of going about continuing her story, but every time we've been met with the sad reality, that her existing storyline simply didn't allow to expand it much further. Similar to Sonya, she was among the first few characters we have ever added, and unfortunately back then we weren't all that good at planning ahead. So, we decided to use the only correct and very radical approach - rework her from scratch! In this update you will be able to play through the intro of Seraphina's whole new story, enjoy her much improved look in a crisp FullHD, and explore the new medical bay location!

  • New character to meet!
    We don't want to go into too much details, since it would ruin the experience of playing through the new story for the first time, but we will say this: Our players have often requested that we add a character, who simply can't stand main protagonist's guts. No mutual attraction, no redemption arc, nothing. A character, that will never fall in love with you, no matter how hard you try. But it doesn't mean they couldn't be attracted in other ways. Hate f**k is on the horizon, fellas!

  • New locations to explore!
    Since this is still an Overhaul update, we couldn't miss a chance to finally implement first few reworked environments, which we have been slowly redrawing throughout the past few years. This time you will get a chance to visit updated Doctor's Office alongside with whole new Infirmary area! These are two of approximately twenty new backgrounds we have prepared, and they should give you a somewhat decent idea of how the game is going to look once the overhaul process is done. New locations feature updated lighting with a unique "evening" preset which is missing from the existing backgrounds, a much higher resolution and overall quality, new character sprite highlight system, new navigation interface, and so much more space for us to put characters in! This is probably the biggest change from our perspective, since it allows us the freedom of adding much more interactable elements and characters, which we couldn't before.

  • Engine improvements!
    Thanks to our developer's efforts, we managed to make many improvements to our game's core, which allowed us to address some of the old, but very persistent issues, such as "double-click to interact" on Android version, missing scene transitions, choice menus bugging out, and many more. There is still a long way to go for us to achieve the true bug-free experience, but from now on the process of addressing these problems should be much less stress-inducing.


We've put a lot of effort into making sure that this, and all of our upcoming updates would be able to reach even higher quality levels, and we hope you will enjoy this story addition as much as we enjoyed creating it!

And don't worry, we have a lot more in store for you. The recent delay allowed our art team to prepare even more content, which we are sending straight into the oven, so you should expect another content release within the next few weeks. After that, we will begin our work on something even bigger...

Seraphina, Part 1 [Patreon Promo].gif
Seraphina, Part One — $20 Release

Nobody expects a spy thriller in their silly little corn game.

We all could probably agree that our game has enough "feel good" kind of stories. The ones, that leave you feeling upbeat and hopeful for things to come, but relying solely on whimsical romance can get stale. For this reason we decided that Seraphina, being a character with the deepest well of untapped potential, deserved more, than a overused falling-in-love trope. Something more sinister and mysterious. The kind of story, that would hold you by the balls as tight, as Seraphina would herself.

The Only Cure

Seraphina is among the few characters, who could allow us to break free from the existing formula of writing romance. She doesn't care for your charm, or soft voice, or decent looks, not when there are much more important things at stake. But it doesn't mean her defences are impenetrable and her needs will forever be taking the back seat. As many characters in the Academy, and anyone finds themselves "stranded" among people they can't connect with, Seraphina is lonely. Even more so than it might appear at first glance.

Yet, even with everything aforementioned, you are far from being the white knight she is looking for. A completely unremarkable individual, though packing a massive Ace under your belt. But maybe an outside perspective is exactly what Seraphina needs? Now, you just have to play your cards right. If all goes well, she might even find a few peculiar ways to apply your hidden talents.

If that's your end goal, then get ready to dive deep into a rabbit hole that goes well beyond the walls of the Academy itself. Conspiracies, secret projects, spy missions, double-crossing followed by triple-crossing from the characters you knew better than to trust, but managed to fall for their lies anyway. Protagonist isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

All for a chance to melt the coldest heart of the forever-tired doctor, who yearns to finally feel something for once in her life. For a sensation she had forgotten. To reignite the fires in her baby oven so bright and so hot, it could repopulate entire continents! A deed worthy of a real Sentinel agent. Are you willing to take the risk?



Banner 2.png
More Than Just Friends

To add a little extra spice on top, we have also implemented the first few "nudes" into the game to already existing characters, so you won't feel as if their story, and subsequently the relationship as a whole, ended as soon as there was no more quests to complete. In the future, we will expand these interactions even further, so that you will always have more to see with each romanceable partner.

After you complete their respective storylines, Andre and Aurelie will contact you themselves to deliver a pleasant morning surprise.


Thank you for reading all the way to the end. Your support helps us sustain this project and slowly move closer towards achieving our long-term plans. We have been secretly rebuilding almost the entire game from the scratch behind the scenes, and in the coming months you will finally see the results of our hard work. While our team is scattered across the world, having to take refuge from war in our home country, working on this game allows us to remain positive and focus on something we truly enjoy creating.

I really like the art in the h-scenes, is there a term I can search to find other games with similar art? Seems like just searching "good art" is not going too turn up much. Recommendations for specific games with similar quality art would also be appreciated.

Somebody leak the HD version of the public release reeee I want to jerk off to 4K stuff
Just so you know, both Low-res and Hi-res are Full HD, it's not like the public release version is somehow worse or anything, it's just image compression to save space.

The difference between Low and High res is barely noticable, here's the comparison in PNG (Converted from WEBP to PNG straight from the game files), since f95 doesn't support WEBP previews:

Oh well, I was just screeching for the sake of screeching. It's good to see we get to appreciate the art in its whole glory. It was a shame to think otherwise, glad it wasn't the case

Sent this to our programmer, will see what's causing this.

Was there an option to ignore the error? What part of Andre's route were you trying to proceed with?

So this is after I completed andre's route. This is the library BJ scene, and ignoring the error raises different errors until eventually it skips past with no time having gone by. Rolling back sends me to the home screen after it goes to the end of the scene where andre is talking again, and once the dialogue ends is when I am sent to the home screen. I know i can probably get past it by redoing everything, but eh. This also happens if I try to use the gallery for it too.
