[~Messy Academy V0.22 Release! (Public/Free)~]
February's public game content is here, v0.22! There's around 1-2 hours of new content depending on reading speeds. No new CG art in this update, but the next one (v0.23) which is out for supporters today, adds new CG art in that update!
This update adds the gymnastics club option to the free roaming scenarios in episode 5. I believe in total, with both branching options within the club itself, there's around 20-24k word count in total.
Our next release is shooting for March 21st, and that should be v0.23, which will include the continuation of episode 5, adding scene 8: Reunion at the Track Field!

[~V0.22 Content~]
<Public/Free Build>
{~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.
-Episode 5's music intentionally fades in and out at set points during scenes, with there being no music at all sometimes. 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-0.21" and the About screen in-game will list it as "Version 0.21" but I assure you, this is v0.22. We're sorting this out as well, and we're aware of it.
-SFX. We've decided to hold off on adding new sfx into the game, mainly because we'll be tackling this from scratch for Episode 1 and beyond when we get to the QoL addition/fix updates in January forward.
-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 additions/fix update in December and beyond.)
-There aren't CG scenes for the free roaming scenario content. Valerie and Bonbon's outfits during the flashback display them in their school uniforms intentionally, this is because we didn't have outfits for them to fit the flashback scene at this time. (We're also working on adding new BG and CG art to the game, but these will happen with the QoL additions/fix updates in January and beyond.)
-We're aware that there's visual bugs, these are being fixed up currently before the full release. To name a few we've spotted during testing: "..." text appears incorrectly, some names are bold and others are not within the namebox. The "menu" button when expanded out, blocks some text at times, this is being addressed and placed elsewhere to avoid this. Feel free to point out other bugs/visual issues you notice that aren't listed here. <3
