Dev team hasn’t been keeping up with this thread but the game development has been steady.

Alice’s route is now finished (reached the last scene but more content is still planned)

And the side route WG character, Okisho, has had her route started.

Enjoy!

Hoppy April everyone. Clock here, with a new development journal for Growth Academy! We hope all of your easter celebrations and spring cleaning have gone well, as we have been hard at work getting some new treats ready for ya after last months build! What have we been working on? Well how’s about we pop open this egg and take a look?

Shiori has some old scenes currently being worked on for rewrites, similarly, we are planning on upcoming CGs as well!

Naomi has two scene rewrites complete, one rewrite in progress, one new CG in progress, and a new outfit in progress!

Akira has two new scenes, as well as new CG and new expressions completed!

Alice has a new CG planned, and a new outfit completed! (Also, have you Unlocked Okisho’s route yet? >;3)

Aida has one scene in progress, and one new outfit completed! Similarly, she has some new music which will be showing up in route thanks to Post-Bop!

Finally, we have a new outfit for Yuki being planned, two new MC scenes in development, two new outfits for Kei in development, an update to Kei’s character icon and Kei’s size 2 completed, nurse Kiyomi’s sprites in development, a new font for character dialogue implemented, brand new backgrounds, added previously missing bgs with alternate time of days, some replacements for pre-existing backgrounds, and a rain overlay animation for selected scenes implemented!

I’m also pleased to give you more info about the upcoming MC010 scene! It is our second holiday event and a highly replayable scene with multiple different versions depending on choices the player will make in the route of their choice. Players will have option to hang out with Tomo, spend some introspective time with Kei or experience one of the variants tied to each main girl - Alice, Aida, Akira, Honoka, Naomi or Shiori, so we hope you enjoy it when it’s finished!

With that, I think that wraps up this dev journal in a nice foil wrapping and places it snugly in a basket! Thank you all for following the development of Growth Academy, and we hope to have even more fantastic things for ya next month!
