itch.io

When I download the file there is nothing to unzip, just all the individual game files. 

How do I get v0.10? I refuse to use patreon  becuse they discriminate against certain kink groups like ABDL. 

This guide does not help me, I run into an error in the game that halts progression.

I can't give the genie the candy so I cant progress. says "Item cannot be applied"

exact same for me! 

But I still have to find all the stuff for dresses and other items, plus all the money I'll loose.  There needs to be a way to start at the beginning of each new content update. 

I've played through version 0.6 of chapter two but lost all my save files. how do I get back to where I left off? Or do I just have to do hours of game play over again? 

Discord says the posted link is either invalid or has expired.

So I downloaded the game to play offline but I only get game build files. There is no game in the file to actually play even after I run extract all.

Yes, I do it at that correct time and it still does not work. Should have mentioned that in the first place. 

I can't open the portal for Nyx. I put in the correct gems for GPG (green purple green) as it says to but I just get told it doesn't work like that. 

Encountered a bug where the bag fills up with scrolls and there is no way to get rid of them and they prevent access to all other items. I also cannot unlock any side quests or methods of payment.

Thank you for the detailed response! I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who feels similarly. And I do agree with you that the best economic and public opinion policy to follow here is to under-promise and over-deliver as opposed to the other way around. Both options A and B seem like the most logical to consider.  From the perspective of a player of the game I'm always interested in seeing a new character developed but I assume option B would take less time and money.  

I must confess that I like having a sister character as a route in the game. So if something like option B were implemented and I was Erika, then who would be my sister in the game then? Any Japanese-styled VN game worth the name needs to have a sister character right?? 

As for dating the male characters from a female perspective, its not that I'm against the idea as such, but I think that if such routes were to be created it might be best if they were treated as secondary options because at least from my perspective, forcing the female characters to interact romantically with the male characters no matter which gender the user plays the game as rather undercuts the potential of playing as a female character in the first place, and puts me kind of back in the same situation I'm in now just from the opposite viewpoint. To put it another way, if I don't like to play as a certain male character now, then I'm not going to be interested in having to date said character either. But in the end it's not my game and I don't want to seem like I'm trying to force my opinions onto anyone. I hope that perhaps by sometime next year or the year after that development will have progressed to such a point that these concepts will be in more active consideration.  

First, I’d like to say that Messy Academy is the best diaper-related visual novel game I know of and I’m considering becoming a supporter, which is kind of radical for me, but to me what you are doing is true art, not just more boring porn. However, I had some thoughts I’d like to share, and I recognize I’m just one opinion among many so nothing may come of this, but I wanted to say something anyway. I’m pretty gender fluid bordering on trans and have always identified more with my feminine side in daily life and so when it comes to VN games or manga/anime I tend to automatically identify more with the female characters and see things from their point of view. This is why I struggle to enjoy “harem” style stories because I can almost never identify with the male lead. I just fail to feel much of a connection to male characters. So, when I play Messy Academy I feel like the proverbial square peg in a round hole because in real life I feel much more like Miki, or Juliet, or Erika, but I don’t feel like Brandon at all. He and I simply don’t get along! I recognize that for a VN to be commercially successful it has to primarily cater to the widest possible audience, which I assume are males who do identify more with Brandon’s character, so I understand the direction the design of the game has gone from that perspective. Having said that, I would feel much more emotionally connected to the characters if there was an option to play as a female character in place of Brandon. This would also come with two additional benefits in terms of game play structure that I can see. First it would provide a way to start the game without a need for the whole hacking of the school’s computer to change the student records thing which would simplify the storyline, and second I think it would also provide a way to play Erika’s route romantically even if the characters are genetically-related as it would make the whole incest problem not so off-putting. 

Anyway, that’s my 2 (or maybe even 3) cents. I hope nothing I say offends; I just really wish there was a way to play the game as a girl too! Btw, Miki, and Erika are my favorite characters and I struggle to decide between them, but I like several others as well. I think you did a very nice job with character design. I’m sorry this is such a long comment! I looked for a way to send it to you somewhere else but didn’t see any obvious way of doing so. Thank you for all your hard work! 

Apologies for not replying sooner, I have been experimenting on my computer and have figured out how to run the game (at least for me). My method is for Mac computers running 10.15 Catalina as the OS. I’m hoping this will also work for 11.0 Big Sur as well but no promises. 

 Step 1: download the latest Messy Academy Update mac.zip file to your desktop. At the time of this writing that is 0.13.5. When this file is downloaded it will appear as a folder on your desktop titled Messy Academy update 0.13.5 mac.

Step 2: Download the fix command file to your desktop. This will appear as a SHELL file titled Fix_Permissions.command

 Step 3: Drag and drop the Fix_Permissions.command file into the Messy Academy update 0.13.5 mac folder. It should appear in the folder as a third item along with a credits.html file document and the game program Icon titled Acadamy_Reboot.

Step 4: Open the Terminal program on your mac located in the Applications folder.

Step 5: Now you need to execute on the SHELL file. With a terminal command window open enter: chmod u+x

Step 6: Now with both the Terminal window and the Messy Academy update 0.13.5 mac folder open side by side drag and drop the Fix_Permissions.command file into the terminal window just in front of the chmod u+x text. If done correctly the path to the file should appear so in general the complete command line should read chmod u+x /path/to/Fix_Permissions.command with the /path/to/ part varying depending on your mac’s file structure.

 Step 7: Hit Enter in Terminal. Terminal should then execute on the SHELL file. 

Step 8: Now click on the Academy_Reboot icon in the Messy Academy update 0.13.5 mac folder. The game should open just fine now. 

A note on the previous instructions. One of the major areas of confusion is that on a mac the "tyranoscript.app" name for the game container file is hidden until the game actually opens and so saying “Place "Fix_Permissions.command" file in same folder as "tyranoscript.app"” does not help on a mac because you won’t know where to put it. 

Hope this all helps someone in the future! 

I feel that there is some critical step or program I am missing in order to run the game. 

Sorry, I'm not sure you understood. That troubleshooting step is exactly what I tried and it does not work for me. I downloaded the  "Fix_Permissions.command" file but there is no folder with a "tyranoscript.app" in it that I can find so I have no place to put the  "Fix_Permissions.command" file.  I can download the "Messy_Acadamy_Reboot" file just fine and it downloads to my desktop as a folder containing a credits.html file and an unknown program icon that will not open. 

Also is the program supposed to download as an rar file? For me it's downloading as an application that neither my mac (nor I) can identify.

I've tried to find the folder containing "tyranoscript.app" by double tapping on the program icon and choosing "show package contents" but its nowhere to be found. So I have no idea how to implement this patch. Simply trying to open the program gets me the error message "The application “Messy_Academy_Reboot” can’t be opened." Please help!  Thank you!
