*SPOILERS*
If you pick choice 3 in FMG003 where you basically turn down wanting to work out with Akira this will unlock the possibility of seeing the Natsuko route scenes later in the route (previously this choice would have just sent you into an endless loop), but this does not commit you to her route yet even if you do the scene. There is currently only one scene, but more are planned and there will eventually be a point where the routes split off permanently.  

If you can see a spot in the gallery where they should be, they are implemented in the game. The different CGs in AE050 are based on whether you chose the first choice in back in the third scene "The Lord High Executioner" or not. You can use the debug menu to get that flag in the save file and then load AE050 and it should unlock for you, or if you do have it, load it from a save that doesn't have it. 

Honoka's route has had different authors over the years and they haven't been able to have the same time commitment to the project as others due to IRL stuff. That said we are interested in bringing on new authors if they are interested in helping with the route.

We can also expect more progress to be made on the route in the future as more routes finish and other authors can jump on to her route as well.

Are you referring to the potential side route with Tako or are you referring to Shiori's different endings? There are some Tako side route scenes planned but nothing has been implemented in game for it yet. 

We hope to have it translated eventually but we want the game to be in a finished state before we tackle that because even completed scenes are still subject to revision. If we were to start translation work now, there would be a lot of re-work needed as the game gets updated. 

What is your native language? Getting requests helps us know which languages to prioritize. 

Spoiler warning for those that don't want to know -

There are 2 ways to earn the bad ending - affection below 20 or in the chapter "Silence", if prompted, pick "move on".

This is the route guide for Alice's route: https://www.deviantart.com/the-murp/art/Alice-Route-Guide-Growth-Academy-1236746...

The likely last check that might not have triggered is the requirement to do all of the possible optional scenes. This includes all of the music scenes (WG001M-WG005M), all of the crossover scenes (WGGTS, WGBE, WGFMG and WGAE). It's intended to be a high bar to pass, but if you are wanting to still experience the scene without redoing the route or are still unsure of what scenes were missed that you can also load, you can access through the debug menu to load WG103G. 

Just an small notification to inform that a hotfix for the January build was pushed out a couple of days ago that should fix Okisho's route. There was an error with the scene mapping that caused the route to not progress that should be fixed now. Redownload the build (it will say 01.16 in the file name to show it's updated from the original).

As a reminder, if you are on her route and have played WGB005, it is best to replay that scene (you can load it via the debug menu); this will ensure Aida's pregnancy scene triggers for the route. 

Have you played any of the previous Okisho scenes? You wouldn't want to access it unless you've played WGB001-004 prior. There's a problem we've identified with how the route is mapping we hope to fix soon but they can be accessed via dev mode using the scene select menu. Just type in the scene number (in this case WGB005) and select start scene. Just make sure it's set to the right size or errors could occur (WGB005 is a size 2 scene).

We still have plans for one, but it might take a while. 

These weren't specifically made because Aida features pretty frequently in Alice's route, but I have thought about including a few in the later part of the series where she appears less frequently. 

That's a Shiori scene, AE027.

Are you referring to the scene "Through Thick and Thicker"? It's one of the hidden scenes. The route guide walks through how to unlock all the scenes which I'll link to prevent spoilers for others: https://www.deviantart.com/the-murp/art/Alice-Route-Guide-Growth-Academy-1236746...

We hope to eventually provide this but there's some issues getting renpy to run in android we've run into.

You should be able to run the game in browser however with the Newgrounds release from your phone.  https://growthacademy.newgrounds.com/ You just use a small save file to maintain your progress between playing sessions. 

True, it could be an interesting "bonus" type scene. We already have "dream scenes" in the FMG route that detail scenarios that don't happen canonically, but are depicted. 

We are pleased to announce with this new update (https://growth-academy.itch.io/growth-academy/devlog/1063638/growth-academy-deve...) a way to play GA in a browser, which should allow you to play on your phone:
https://growthacademy.newgrounds.com/

Though this is an interesting idea that provides a new perspective, one of the core tenants of GA is that the story is told from Kei's perspective, he is the narrator and part of the uniqueness of the story is that it is from his POV.  So we don't intend to deviate from this perspective in core GA works, but encourage fanfic writers to experiment with their own story telling perspectives. 

Well, the idea for the scene is that Kei wants to distract Alice because he thinks she's too proud to accept his help, or at least would prefer not to have to worry her about what is happening, so I don't think just not having it fulfills the point of the scene. 

Admittingly I wanted to allow for more choices in the route near the end but I had a specific trajectory of the story in mind and I couldn't really accomplish that if the player was allowed to make decisions that would thwart the direction like they could in the early route. 

As for new outfits, I had planned on more coming out this update in October but the artist I am working with is busy. There are two more planned for size 6 (swimsuit and casual spring dress) and her size 2 Matsuri Yukata. 

This will be fixed in the October update. 

Sufficient art skill is needed to access the five different music scenes as well as a fair amount of extra affection points. 
If you're really stumped then you can jump to it in the debug menu; the script global file details the code numbers of all the scenes to navigate to them. 

We'll look into it. My guess is that these flags cuing to disable them are already in your save file. 

Did you do anything to alter the character size in the debug menu? This can cause problems with how the outfits are swapped when those kinds of changes take place.

There are some dialog forks that indicate the bad ending is active but there are only a few of them, but they don't necessarily tell you that you'll get the good ending since the optional scenes required to unlock the best ending are throughout the route all the way up to almost the end of it. 

Unlocking the feeder scene is not one of the prerequisites. You will need to have played all the optional scenes, and you can't have made more than 1 bad decision that contributes to getting the bad ending. 

That includes all of these scenes: WGGTS001, WGGTS002, WGGTS003, WGGTS004, WGGTS005,  WGBE001, WGBE002,  WGBE003,  WGBE004A,  WGBE004B, WGBE005, WGAE001, WGFMG001, WGFMG002,  WGFMG003,  WGFMG004A, WGFMG004B, WGFMG005, FMGWG001, WG001M, WG002M, WG003M, WG004M, WG005M, WG009, WG011, WG013, WG014, WG017, WG018, WG021, WG023, WG032, WG058,  WG065,  WG083. This list may get longer as more optional scenes get added to the route. 

The route guide explains how to get the bad ending so you would just not want to make those decisions on the route.  https://www.deviantart.com/the-murp/art/Alice-Route-Guide-Growth-Academy-1236746..

That would indicate you unlocked the normal ending but didn't unlock all the checks for the "golden" ending.  The route guide explains how to unlock it all: https://www.deviantart.com/the-murp/art/Alice-Route-Guide-Growth-Academy-1236746...

If it's been a while since you played the game, there is a global scene that triggers for each playthrough at scene 26 that gets into how it happened.

The new one added last update would be in WGFMG004B.

Even though a route is "complete" writing-wise, most still have plans for optional scenes and new CG art. Art assets take a lot of time, so it can be slow, but even the finished routes still have some more tweaks panned for them. 

The latest CG is in scene WGFMG004B "Soba Shop Showdown". You can access it using the debug menu, just make sure you set it to size 5 if that's not where your save file is currently at. 
This scene and the one before it are normally unlocked by the reader having completed WGFMG001 and has advanced past scene 074 but not passed 079.

Hope that helps. Unfortunately we don't have a way to make the new CGs unlock retroactively if he player has already viewed the scene prior to the CG being added to the game. It has to be accessed in game to be added to the gallery. 

The 4 new CGs are in a dream scene, the second of 2 in her route. These are size 5 scenes that require certain conditions met to unlock. If you want to see the unlock conditions (spoilers) you can look in the event library in the script_global file of the game to see them. 

I did not have any new scenes for her route this update cycle, but the plan going forward is to try to get at least 2-3 done per update cycle. If I can do more, great, but I do work on other routes as well. 

Is there a specific error you are encountering? We don't provide direct support for it, but we do our best to try to help people resolve errors. The discord server is a good place to ask others that might have encountered similar errors.

The restriction is intended to reward people that play through the game to access the CGs. In the past, we had people that would just rip through all the art assets and then ask when the next build was. So to prevent that and make it feel earned, we restrict how the CGs are unlocked by requiring them to have accessed the scenes.

Unfortunately in this case, you have already unlocked them by playing previously, but we don't have a work around, unless you go through the debug menu to access those specific scenes and play through them to unlock their CGs. 

There wouldn't really be substantive changes for minor build changes. The major build changes come every three months: January, April, July, October. If it is an April 10th build vs April 2nd build, it's almost always just bug fixes.

She's datable. You can unlock her route through certain decisions made in Alice's route.

I have plans for one more WGFMG scene, 2-3 more WGAE scenes, and possibly some more optional scenes with Aida. More outfits and expressions are also planned for her route, but the core scenes are complete. 

This is a very interesting premise and one that I think would make for an interesting mod. The main dev team however wouldn't really be able to support this due to the time and that most of the main route authors don't necessarily share the other fetishes, so the same drive and interest wouldn't be there. Somewhat related though, the side-route characters that are planned will provide a different experience of someone experiencing the same growth but with a different personality and outlook on it.  

We have plans to eventually support the game on Android, but that will take some time.

Some people have been successful in getting it to run on the joiplay emulator. We try our best to build the game so that it will run, but we do not provide official support for this. 

If you choose to use it, you'll need joiplay plus the renpy plugin
https://joiplay.net/

Have you downloaded the most recent build? We thought this issue was address in recent builds. 

Is it just not launching?
One common problem that comes up is that the game file needs to be unzipped before the GrowthAcademy.exe file can launch from the game folder.
