Good update as always. The new journey mode was a great addition.
One gripe I have right now is that the game resets all your progress with each update or that saves aren't compatible with older versions. At what point will we be able to just pick up where we left off in our last save to see current content immediately?
The major changes caused by the new mode and the change in the quest system forced us to reset the saves.
The following versions will support old saves.
Right now, our programmer is working on developing a system that will allow this.
(usually the problem is that the new quest is issued in the second act, and if you have already reached the third, then you will not receive it because of this, you had to start a new game)
While the fact some characters don't like you makes the story more believeable and by doing so increase immersion, the fact you do have to become their errand boy no matter what quickly got on my nerves.
Also, having choices in dialogues is nice, but realising you can't advance in a dialogue unless you say the exact line a character waits just doesn't make it for me. In real life i'd give the person the middle finger and turn heels way before that. In a game i just close the game.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. Well, sometimes in order to persuade a person to do what he does not want, you have to say what he likes. We will think about how to transfer this interaction to the relationship system. However, the more options for passing one quest are created, the more time it takes. And there are only two of us and with full time jobs :)
Hello. Other than that the graphisms are nice by the way and as i said the game has good points. Maybe it's just not a game for me? You can't please everyone. Anyway keep up the good work.
Building restoration is dangerous business and breaks reality. =)
Also, I hope you're planning to touch up the soundtrack - the background music you've got already is pretty nice, but the cutoff where it loops is quite jarring.
Actually, looks like the update errored out when I tried to install it, so I was on 1.4.7. Updated successfully this time, and both the restoration and the soundtrack seem to be working fine now. =)
Doing the 1.5.1 run in English, and the translation is mostly okay but definitely slips up in places, sometimes in surprisingly basic ways - like the MC saying "We didn't socialize much..." on the Introvert option when describing the Carsteins to Victoria. That one in particular looks like a machine translation artifact - incorrectly inferring pronouns that are omitted in the Russian text.
The most apparent ones are the navigation buttons ("In the courtyard" instead of "To the courtyard", "Preview" instead of "Previous"), but there are also less obvious errors sprinkled through the text: "the Carstein" (or even "Carstair", with Rose) instead of "the Carsteins" when asking around about the family, "house elves found the letter again" when finding the second letter ("the letter" makes it a reference to the same letter as they found the first time, "a letter" would mean another letter as intended), etc.
Looking really nice otherwise - I hope the fetch quest and minigame aspects get more variety later, but the art and sound work is already quite solid.
Hi, I'm not entirely sure I understand the question. We have a typical distribution system for such games - public and "private" versions. Private is available to subscribers on our patronage services, or for a separate fee on itch.io Payment means the purchase of the specific current private version. A few weeks after the release of the private version, it becomes public.
Not sure if the grammar is wrong but to me it looks like two easy questions
kind of "let's see if I understood it right"
"I think it's not on sale right?"
Sorry I have a bad day. Uhhh it didn't look like it, but the game becomes free at some point? I have to be honest I need to be a bit picky about what I buy and I thought this had a demo and a payed version.
Our game is free - the current public version is always available for free. At the moment it's version 0.1.5.1.
Those who support us on Patreon, Boosty, or Subscribestar get early access to the next update (about 2-3 weeks earlier). At the moment it's version 0.2.2.1
On itch.io it's similar to a one-time purchase of a specific version.
This means you can play the current free version and wait for the new version to go public. Or, support us financially and get early access to the new version.
Hello, I found a bug where talking with Tom about why Tom should help you. There are 4 options, the first 3 go no where and the last option ends in an infinite loop. I've saved my game in this text interaction and now I am stuck. Can I send you my save file?
Are you playing version 0.1.5.1? In the new version we already fixed this problem.
Load a save before this dialogue (for example, the autosave that is available if you press the letter A in the load panel) and do not save in this dialogue - everything will be fine.
Интересный проект с большим потенциалом. Да, есть грамматические ошибки и опечатки. Да, атмосфера преимущественно фентезийная, а не в сеттинге ГП. Но во всем остальном - круто. Крутые фоны и персонажи, интересный сюжет и мини-игры. Выбор Unity очень освежил привычный вид новеллы на RenPy, особенно в части мини-игр. Есть куда расти, ждём дальнейших обновлений
Привет, спасибо за комментарий. Рады, что вам понравилось. Мы в ближайшее время проведём очередную вычитку текста - постараемся сократить количество опечаток и ошибок.
Hi. Yes, you will have to buy it every time. For $10, an alpha version is available here, which our Patreon subscribers get for the same $10. It would be wrong to give unlimited access to all alpha versions for $10. The alpha version becomes free about 2-3 weeks after release.
In versions 0.1.5 and 0.2, the starting quests and their system were significantly changed. Saves are not compatible between themselves and with previous versions. However, in the future, we plan to support continuation from old versions in new versions.
The message "wait for the events to unfold" usually means you've reached the end of the current content in the game.
You can check the Pensieve in the main menu – it shows all available and played scenes. If there are no locked scenes, you've completed everything in the current version.
Version 0.2 introduces new adventures and reward cards, accessible through a separate menu.
If a quest asks you to bring iron, you need to find and mine it, then talk to the quest giver again. You will have a special dialogue option to turn in the quest.
Hi, I'm at the part were I'm supposed to deal with the spy (journalist) but I'm kinda stuck, I've done every dialogue, clicked on everything, could someone help😅
Hi! A new quest should have appeared after visiting her room at the tavern in the Spy - Get Out quest. If you don't have it - something broke. Try loading an earlier save. (If you press the letter A on the load panel, you will see autosaves). Try loading the game BEFORE entering Grace's room and go through this stage again.
We make the game on Unity, on this engine for the Mac version you need to have a Macbook with Xcode installed. Currently, our team does not have this device - in the future, when we have the opportunity to purchase it, we will definitely think about it.
To version 1.5.1? Unfortunately, we completely changed the quest system and old saves are not supported. If you are playing on PC - you can hold Ctrl to skip already read text.
Great game, but just downloaded new update on android but in the missions screen everything still says wait for events to unfold, and on the MC it says support the project in patron. I tried waiting a few in game days and it hasn't progressed.
The current public update has been focused on bug fixes and updating existing NSFW scenes. You can launch them through the Pensieve to check out the new content without having to replay the game.
Found an incorrect line during/after one of the sex scenes in whatever public version was before version 1.4.9 (the Itch app only says "magic-academy-windows.zip" as the file name): when Lilian gives an under-the-table blowjob in the tavern after the celebration party, the text talks about "Joyce" and how her loud slurps can be heard throughout "the office".
Joyce isn't even introduced until after the next paint cleaning minigame...
Hi! Thanks for your report! Yes, we accidentally recorded a line from Joyce's scene into Lillian's scene line in the localization file. It's already fixed in the later version.
Figured as much as soon as I realized I was playing a version several major updates behind the latest patch, but just wanted to make sure you guys were aware.
Hello first of all i just want to say i love the game but i encountered a bug with the vine scene with Audrey and once I get to the end of it the game freezes and dosent let me Progress the dialog. I am on the 1.4.9 android edition
Hey so I just came across this game and downloaded it, but whenever I try and start it it just sits on a grey screen for a few seconds before the app just shuts down and kicks me out
And what device do you have exactly? We have heard about similar errors, but unfortunately, we cannot investigate them without details. Have you tried running the Windows version?
yepp, after you say that... But why? All others react while clicking... except this? Makes no sense from my point of view... But ok... IQ- challenge in any way for the player ;)
That's how we wanted to protect the player from misclicks that would close the tutorial panel.
But, apparently, many people have encountered a similar problem - so with update 0.1.5 we removed this and now all the buttons in the tutorial are pressed with a simple click.
Good game. Lots of grammatical mistakes though. Sometimes someone will say a line clearly meant for the other character. Pronouns will be incorrect (she instead of her, you instead of our) I'm pretty sure the name of the family that used to own the mansion changed several times
I know this probably isn't a huge priority right now. At least compared with adding other content to the game. But I figured it was worth mentioning.
Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we translated the first part of the game a long time ago and the text has become outdated or poorly translated in places. We are now gradually updating it and also fixing all the errors that players report to us.
found a bug, when talking to the innkeeper when he asks you to build a bridge, both options being unbreakable vow and agree without conditions, either option will will loop back to him asking what can possibly convince him to agree, cannot continue further
Does he stop being such a dick as the story progresses, depending on choices made, or is he always gonna be another Jackass Eroge MC? Sorry, but it's hard for me to enjoy ANYTHING where the MC is a douche bag. (Kappa Mikey is a GREAT example of this, Lupin III is another, great casts aside from the Titular MC.) All in all tho, I like this game, even if I never played more than an hour or two of it. (No offense!)
It's a magical world, and we have "special potions," if you know what I mean. We also have plans for a futa-character, which can be a regular one, depending on the player's choice.
How soon it will be available depends on the number of votes on Patreon.
Now it's my time to shine! Great game for place to grow and with great potentional. Become in "Hatiko" mode for a new updates. Game went so smooth, without any "meh" moments. (except the gathering resurses, but in same time it give you time for cool your head a bit. LoL) Arts of characters is great same as background! Even mandrakes was cute... Great job guys! ♥

Maybe it's just not a game for me? You can't please everyone.
Anyway keep up the good work.
Of course we understand. Besides, if our character was able to evoke strong emotions, maybe we did a good job.
Anyway - thanks for the feedback :)
came across a couple spelling errors. the matching puzzles could use some sound effects. it has a lot of heart! keep at it!
Thank you for the feedback! Yes, we are currently looking for a sound designer who can write sounds and music for the modes.
Building restoration is dangerous business and breaks reality. =)
Also, I hope you're planning to touch up the soundtrack - the background music you've got already is pretty nice, but the cutoff where it loops is quite jarring.
I'm sure I already fixed this bug. Is this version 0.1.5.1?
Could you elaborate on "but the cutoff where it loops is quite jarring."?
Is there some kind of glitch when the tracks switch?
Actually, looks like the update errored out when I tried to install it, so I was on 1.4.7. Updated successfully this time, and both the restoration and the soundtrack seem to be working fine now. =)

Thank you for your detailed feedback!
The first version of the game was translated by a not very reliable person, and we are still cleaning up all the artifacts.
We have already found Carsteins in completely incredible variations like Carrow or Karpitian.
We are trying to fix all the typos or inaccuracies that players point out to us.
Hey how.long is the wait time when it says wait for the events to unfold
The message "wait for the events to unfold" usually means you've reached the end of the current content in the game.
Apparently, in the next patch, we should replace this text with "wait for the next update".
i can't find the spy's room
i figured it out. I just can't able find the spy's room when i give wood to Audrey first
version 0.1.5.1?
i wasnt able to do the find room event in the 221 version after giving audrey the materials
just to see if I already understood it, this is not on sale right?

Okay I think i understood it, depending on how much I like it and my finances I will see if I can do that.
So in chase I can't I mostly have to wait for a most likely much longer time than the others okay.
Yes, of course, thank you for your interest in the project in any case.
Hello, I found a bug where talking with Tom about why Tom should help you. There are 4 options, the first 3 go no where and the last option ends in an infinite loop. I've saved my game in this text interaction and now I am stuck. Can I send you my save file?

You had me at blackjack and hookers ( I'm a fan of futurama)
Haha! Yeah, we are also fans and decided to make such a mini-reference.

Question; if I purchase the $10 tier, will that unlock all future updates as well? Or will I have to buy the new version again when it comes out?
Hi. Yes, you will have to buy it every time.
For $10, an alpha version is available here, which our Patreon subscribers get for the same $10.
It would be wrong to give unlimited access to all alpha versions for $10.
The alpha version becomes free about 2-3 weeks after release.
Can I play using my old save files?
In versions 0.1.5 and 0.2, the starting quests and their system were significantly changed. Saves are not compatible between themselves and with previous versions. However, in the future, we plan to support continuation from old versions in new versions.
Oh ok. Thank you
So i just got past the party and talking to all the teachers but now my quests are blank and no matter how many dAys pass nothing happens
The message "wait for the events to unfold" usually means you've reached the end of the current content in the game.
You can check the Pensieve in the main menu – it shows all available and played scenes. If there are no locked scenes, you've completed everything in the current version.
Version 0.2 introduces new adventures and reward cards, accessible through a separate menu.
Hello how to find iron
There's a mine on the top left of the map - you can mine stone and iron there.
I'm mining iron but my quest doesn't complete
If a quest asks you to bring iron, you need to find and mine it, then talk to the quest giver again. You will have a special dialogue option to turn in the quest.
I found a bug
Can you please describe what happened? And how can I reproduce the issue so I can fix it?
The error disappeared ordi did not want to take resources
我想知道会有中文吗？
我们现在有很多文本。但我们会考虑可能的翻译。
Hi, I'm at the part were I'm supposed to deal with the spy (journalist) but I'm kinda stuck, I've done every dialogue, clicked on everything, could someone help😅

I will watch your career with great interest. Will there be enslavement magic, as a evil(Dark Lord) route?
We will think about it. Perhaps it will be used for the "re-education" of evil characters.
Hi there! Is there any Yuri content in this game? Thank you!
Hi. Not yet
Are there plans for a future Mac release? Would love to play
We make the game on Unity, on this engine for the Mac version you need to have a Macbook with Xcode installed. Currently, our team does not have this device - in the future, when we have the opportunity to purchase it, we will definitely think about it.
Alright understandable, good luck!
I really love harry potter and the art is beautifull so I'm definetly going to check this out.
How would I transfer a save to a new update
To version 1.5.1? Unfortunately, we completely changed the quest system and old saves are not supported.
If you are playing on PC - you can hold Ctrl to skip already read text.

Same issue, makes the game unplayable at this scene.
Same issue for me, on 1.4.9, android 14 on an oppo device
Same here, OnePlus 12R android version 14
We fixed the bug and updated the Android build.

Just checked it and it works, cant wait to pay the rest of the game, thank you
Hey so I just came across this game and downloaded it, but whenever I try and start it it just sits on a grey screen for a few seconds before the app just shuts down and kicks me out
Hello! What version of the game did you download? On what device are you running it?
I downloaded 1.4.9 on android
And what device do you have exactly? We have heard about similar errors, but unfortunately, we cannot investigate them without details. Have you tried running the Windows version?
I don't have anything I can run the windows version on at the moment. I'm on a slightly older galaxy tablet for the time being
What version of Android is on your device?
1st nice view... And a bug right at the beginning
.
It is not possible to exit the explanation overlay at the end by clicking OK.
you need hold the button
yepp, after you say that... But why? All others react while clicking... except this? Makes no sense from my point of view... But ok... IQ- challenge in any way for the player ;)

Hello! Thanks for the feedback. Yes, we translated the first part of the game a long time ago and the text has become outdated or poorly translated in places. We are now gradually updating it and also fixing all the errors that players report to us.
Hello, a very interesting project, when will the update be released?
found a bug, when talking to the innkeeper when he asks you to build a bridge, both options being unbreakable vow and agree without conditions, either option will will loop back to him asking what can possibly convince him to agree, cannot continue further
Can you send us broken save?
You can find it in C:\Users[UserName]\AppData\LocalLow\Wild Pear\Magic Academy\Save
will there be a Macbook version?
We don't have a Mac right now. Perhaps in the future, if we have money, we will think about it.
Is android version soon?
Maybe in a few weeks - we are still testing some things and collecting feedback. But it is now available to our Patrons.
LOL! Now I'm imagining a Magic Academy with android students in attendance!
What happened to MC's face? I thought he was good looking.
Was he looked too young?
Yes, he was too young and too much like MC Summertime Saga. The design was invented almost a year ago and now we have decided to update it.
Does he stop being such a dick as the story progresses, depending on choices made, or is he always gonna be another Jackass Eroge MC? Sorry, but it's hard for me to enjoy ANYTHING where the MC is a douche bag. (Kappa Mikey is a GREAT example of this, Lupin III is another, great casts aside from the Titular MC.) All in all tho, I like this game, even if I never played more than an hour or two of it. (No offense!)
Yes, of course. We are currently in the process of changing the way we tell the story. We want to make it so that the player chooses the answers in most cases, and this will affect how other characters react to them.
SUH-WEET! Good to hear! XD
By the way, I love the name "Wild Pear Games", after my wife explained the joke to me, I LMFAO for 3 minutes straight! XD
Looks interesting. I'll definitely be keeping my eye on this one.
Thanks for the comment! We are glad that you liked our game.
mac version possible in the future?
We don't have a Mac right now. Perhaps in the future, if we have money, we will think about it.
would be great, thanks for the answer
is there or will there be futa ?
There is no such content at the moment.
It's a magical world, and we have "special potions," if you know what I mean. We also have plans for a futa-character, which can be a regular one, depending on the player's choice.
How soon it will be available depends on the number of votes on Patreon.
fantastic , you’ve just gained a new Patreon supporter
where can I locate the save files on pc
[disk]\Users\[user-name]\AppData\LocalLow\Wild Pear\Magic Academy
Now it's my time to shine! Great game for place to grow and with great potentional. Become in "Hatiko" mode for a new updates. Game went so smooth, without any "meh" moments. (except the gathering resurses, but in same time it give you time for cool your head a bit. LoL) Arts of characters is great same as background! Even mandrakes was cute... Great job guys! ♥
Hi! Thank you very much for such a detailed review! We are very glad that you liked the game!
You had me at magic school.
Great potential, waiting for future updates!
Thank you very much!
I can't put it quite as eloquently as Staffate did, but I'm loving the art style! Really can't wait to see more of this in the future!
Thank you very much! We are working on the next updates now!
