[~February Development Report~]


Before I begin, in case anyone hasn't been up-to-date with whats been happening in the past week for me personally, not to even mention this Winter season as a whole. Its been really stressful and with early last week's problem happening, it finally set me over the tipping point. The short of it is, our basement flooded, I had a bad panic attack, been recovering mentally/physically since that episode.

The good news is that with my recent doctor's visit and just recovering in the past week since the event. I feel nearly back to normal now, but I was so fatigued, worn out and sore. My breathing felt off and so.. I had my vitals taken the other day with my visit, xrays and blood work done to be extra safe.. Since there's other things I could've been exposed to during the whole event and just having that peace of mind alone is good.

I'm sorry for anyone who has felt put-off with our content delivery during January. The week of that mess taking place was meant to be a huge undertaking with getting stuff done and wrapped up for our next release, but there's been all of this dropped on me and so.. I want to say right now.

I'm okay for one! Second, we're looking to get the content that was meant to be out in January, out soon as possible, early in February! We have more in store for kicking off March right away with some major news for the project and extra content with that, but we're being really quiet on that mention until we have everything ready first.

If you'd like to read more about the troubles going on this past Winter and the past week for my personal happenings, you should be able to access those posts for free below!

I'd also like to thank everyone who supported us during January! The continued support since the Patreon purge has been much appreciated! <3 I know things have been crazy to kick off 2024, very unexpected... But we have a lot planned for the coming months and hopefully, no more major things for me to deal with personally for a while. >.<

Let's jump into plans and team stuff!

[~Messy Studios Team~]
[~Dev Plans/Story & Programming~]

Our new programmer has been doing a lot of quality fixes! There were some stuff with ep 5 content that was meant to be a bit more animated, but it wasn't a major priority with having Artie on-board to help in-between getting a new programmer to join, so we skipped over on some features for ep 5. Those are now in the game and will be seen with v0.20 pt 4!

Which brings me to another point...

In order to make the rest of the v0.20 series of releases less confusing. We're wrapping it all up in one final release called "v0.20 pt 4" for supporters. v0.20 pt 3 will include Bridget's scene, along with 2 additional scenes to make up to the wait on our public version of the game.

The faster we put ep 5 or in other words, the v0.20 series behind us. The faster we can dive into the route episodes!

Our programmer has not only fixed up stuff for ep 5 to make the experience ideal, but they have also been fixing up the game in general on the coding end. That way, there should be less awkward issues that are quality related. The releases planned for both support and public here soon will also include new gui elements/screens.

They've been working to get our finalized save/load, config/settings, choice buttons and new textbox into the game! These will be seen in the next releases all at once!

Our goal with March is to showcase the protag's face reactions as part of the textbox and we're making sure that visually looks good, but we're sure when players get to try it out for themselves. We'll be taking in feedback in order to help improve how the game looks with that.

I wish I could go into more detail about our plans with early March, but just know that if we manage to deliver on the v0.20 release for support and public pretty soon this month. We'll have no problem with delivering what we have in mind for March and it'll be one heck of a announcement that'll possibly excite many fans for the game!

Even with that, we'd still be delivering normal content for March towards the later half of that month. Which will begin our first look into the route episode content! We'll be starting off with hopefully many people's favorite, Miki! But in case she isn't your favorite, we have plans to include Nova for that month too!

[~CG art~]

MarxeDP & AjoseMP had a slow month to kick off 2024. Hence there wasn't much to showcase during January for cg art. ^^" The goal for this month is to get a lot done and so we should ideally have quite a preview month on art!

It'll be a good mix of stuff and one of these will be revealed with our announcement in March to prevent early spoiling.

[~Sprite art~]

Lisa has started 2024 with great progress on stuff! Sadly its a bit secretive right now, but we might have a bit of other stuff to show off during February.

The reality with sprite needs is that we're honestly so close to being done with sprite stuff for the project, that a good amount of what remains is spoiler related with the mystery story. ^^" Revealing much of that in previews, would only cause major confusion and more questions before we're able to reach the point in the story when things get pretty interesting with the academy...

[~GUI~]

ds-sans has finished up the history/log screen, along with getting the textbox updated with some adjustments. I believe our next goal is starting work on the title screen, which should be really exciting! There's two concept plans being suggested, so it'll be interesting to see which one we end up going with as the finalized look for MA.

I suspect with only the cg gallery being the last thing after that, we'll probably wrap up gui needs here before May.

[~Ending~]

Once again, its been really stressful this Winter and I don't want to make more excuses with stuff, but I do hope by sharing more openly with what has been going on.. That it gives a bit more perspective to put yourself in my shoes.

Even with that said, with starting to feel normal again. I'm already starting to play catch-up on what should've been ready at the end of January. So, thank you all once again! <3

Goals

$900.0
THE GOAL
REACHED!
This is the bare minimum costs that covers our team's active development on a monthly basis! This is roughly what we had coming in from Patreon each month to cover the costs for our artists, programmer, editor, writing, etc. Much of it goes right into the art! If we can reach this goal, it'd mean we can easily without any worry continue our active development on the game project that's been on-going for 4 years strong, with 2 years expected that remains in development before it's finished.
$1,138 of $1,200
per month
If we manage to reach this goal, we'd be around our peak in terms of funding we've received in the past, back on Patreon! This extra amount of funding would allow for more cg scene art and goodies like sfx/ambiences being worked on for the game! ^^
$1,138 of $1,500
per month
If we manage to reach this goal, we'd without a doubt be able to hire a 3rd artist to speed up cg art for the game! Extra funding would help speed along cg art and sfx/ambiences even further than before! <3
$1,138 of $2,000
per month
At this goal being reached, each month... We could seriously begin our voice acting campaign! We'd do a casting call with real voice actors using castingcall.club and encourage everyone to sign up, try out for the roles and begin the process of adding voice over work into MA from the start of the game slowly catching up to where the current build/releases are at that time forward. ^^
