Academy Daze is the story of Alex, a brand new cadet at the Stryker Military Academy. We follow him through his first week of training, starting with his arrival in Japan.

There are a total of eleven cadets, of which you can connect in some way with seven- Along with seven endings... All but one of which can get Alex killed, and one that's guaranteed to result in his death. Some of these people have secrets, and some are secrets in and of themselves.

Right now, the script is essentially complete, although some edits are in the offing. We have a fine team pulling together the art while we get everything else tightened up and in place. We're hoping for a commercial-grade release for everyone's favorite price...

Free.

Coding only awaits the arrival of art and music, after which it too, will be complete. For more information and sketches of the primary characters, see the SpartanWorks blog at http://www.renaigames.net/blog

Code:
The game contains 1,823 screens of dialogue.
These screens contain a total of 25,519 words,
for an average of 14.0 words per screen.
The game contains 71 menus.

I wish you success. When do you plan to release?

Poorly done hand drawn art is still poorly done art. Be a Poser (or better yet, use DAZ Studio 3D) - dare to be different.

If I'm as tenth as good of an administrator as I am a writer, looking at November. I can't say right now, but the big stuff is either done or well underway. I received the two most critical backgrounds just about an hour ago. Sprites should start coming down the line this week. That's the part I expect to take the longest, since there's a rather *large* number of them.

I'll be finalizing the CG list sometime in the next couple of days.

I got a couple of new backgrounds last night, and I'm hoping to see base sprites soon. If I'm half as lucky as I think I am, I should have a screenshot sometime soon. Currently, I'm doing a script revision.

Sketchup looks nice even by itself, huh?

Good luck with the game! Having the coding done and the script finished is great; most of the basic work is finished so you should be almost finished with the game. Looking forward to playing it.

There's lots more... We have BGs done for about half the game now(although that's not the same thing as half the BGs done), and a preview of the spritework:

Well, it's been a couple of days since I checked in with some kind of update... We're still waiting for the sprites, but I've been assured that they are being worked on. I'll post a couple of more sketches from my announcement blog post, and I have some more backgrounds for you...

Here's our cosplay bunny, in a rare unifromed moment...

Since the other topic has wandered away on me, I'll post here instead :D

I'd love to try out your game when it's released. Like I'm going to turn down someone asking me to play games XP The backgrounds and characters are looking really good. And I am intrigued about the 'death' endings. Sounds like it will be a thrilling story, nothing like a little bit of danger to spice things up.

Oh dear God this looks awesome.

The ex and Ninnete are both particularly gorgeous.

ex is just the .jpg code for Alexis, who was going to be the female MC as counterpart to Alex. Now she's one of the six girls that Alex can try for. In fact, as it turns out, she isn't anyone's ex at all. But there are some things that might surprise her.

There are lots of little secrets running around, after all. Some of the secrets even have secrets. But there's some craziness, some high drama, and classroom time to go right along with it. I'd like to think there's something for everyone, but I missed out the Yaoi/Yuri crowds, sorry.

Ninette is another story. Someone who could have gone anywhere, is in a corporate military academy? Seems kinda squirrelly to me.
