Updated Roadmap!
🕑 Added 2024-11-11 17:06:10 +0000 UTCSince Winter Holidays are upon us, our team will probably take a short vocation to cool down after the ridiculous grind throughout the past year. As of right now, we released 15 updates in 2024, and we plan to drop at least two more before taking a break.
With that said, it's probably the last roadmap our game receives before we get to doing some major changes. In the current state, Academy34 is neither a visual-novel, nor is it a proper dating sim. It sits in an awkward spot somewhere in between, and we really want to fix that. Since our following grew to be many times larger than we ever expected, it's only fair that we should strive to deliver equally decent game in return.
In the upcoming year we will completely update the entire in-game world and start implementing necessary mechanics, that should add a lot more substance to the current gameplay loop. It's too early to give any concrete details, but here's a few things you could expect:
1. Entirely new in-game map with many more locations to visit.
2. Exploration rewards and side-quests.
3. Proper stat and perk system.
4. Reworked classes and their dedicated storylines.
5. Reworked overall progression.
6. Reworked Prologue.
7. Reworked in-game UI.
8. Added main storyline.
This list is far from complete, but we would rather avoid overpromising, since our capabilities are still rather limited. Still, we are happy to say that with your support in the last few months, we were able to do so much more than ever before, and if all goes well, you should see the first fruits of our labor sooner than you probably expect!
Also, don't worry, most of the work will be happening in the background, so you shouldn't notice any changes in our release schedule. In case of delays, we will let you know immediately! We will start posting more detailed sneak peaks into the future of A34 in early 2025, so stay tuned!
Thank you for your incredible support and we promise to keep up the pace and quality going forward!

Content then break. We'll push two more updates before we get on two week holiday during Christmas.

So does this mean content then break? Or break then content next year? Either way your break is WELL deserved

That reina face reminds me of when you used to draw her all gremlinny. I missed the derpyness of it all

Looking forward to all that is to come, but definitely take that break, you have so earned it. Rest, recover and enjoy the end of the year. It will just build our anticipation even more for the joys you will bestow in the coming year.

Of all the projects I've followed, you guys work the hardest! You take feedback, and you both update us and release constantly. I love your work! Not to mention the quality of the game. β€οΈ

Awesome! You people put in so much work and deliver exceptional quality each time, can't wait to see the next updates! Also Seraphina can ruin me.

Hell yeah. Well, now that I see more Luca content in the future, I'm now looking for a time machine so if anyone's got one, I'll take it off your hands πππ

Main storyline will be separate from all of the "Girl Quests", so it wouldn't be required to complete them all to progress. That being said, it will include a lot of additional context as to why and how MC gets laid so often. We won't give any more details, because we'd like to keep it all a surprise.

Thank for the news. Also for when the update on the Main Quest??? Because all the update already "uploaded" are "Girl Quest" to me, but i love to know more about the story/background of the game..... And if we have a "Main Quest", you could add more scenes to Girls with a finished story, with the pretext of the "Main Quest"'s scene being separate from the "Girl Quest"'s scenes.....
