I've been a little quiet over the past couple of weeks after finally completing Chapter Twelve.
We've been working on some more updates which are now present on the dsp3000.games website.

In response to some criticism and perhaps a fundamental misunderstanding of the function of cash within the game, I want to clear a few things up.
My intention is to add this guidance not only to the FAQ section on my Patreon pages, but also directly onto the website so it can be accessed at the appropriate points during gameplay.
This is to allay the fears and accusations that the cash system is u...

I've pushed up some fairly significant updates to the game on the website over the past three days which should be so subtle that they won't be noticed.
It's all coding updates which will hugely reduce the amount of cookies and variables generated during gameplay.
The aim is to really pare down the amount of data that's included in each game save.
Much of the generated data had become redundant and was jus...
The fifth and final bonus scene for Chapter Twelve has now been made available to play on the https://www.dsp3000.games website.
This completes everything planned for Chapter Twelve.
This one has taken quite some time to create and it's because it's a really big scene.
There are over 1100 images in this scene alone which is bigger than some of my earlier chapters and bigger than some full games.
It represents a...
This is just a very brief mention about a couple of changes to the user interface on the website that we have introduced over the past few weeks and days.
Firstly, you can now access each chapter from a dropdown menu from the main navigation tabs.
This has been a live feature for a couple of weeks now but here's an example just in case you missed it.

This was added a couple of days ago but I've been busy working on the credit allocations and website upgrades so hadn't announced it then.
There is still one more bonus scene to add to the enormous Chapter Twelve.
With the benefit of hindsight, I should perhaps have split this one into two separate episodes given that I'm now at over 5000 images.
A Bridgette date chapter and a seperate solo chapter would probably have made more sense.

I've just added a few more images to these collections.
There is a regular collection which can be viewed by anybody who is a Faculty Member or higher.
There is also an Executive/SuperFan only version which features nudes.
Both sets of images are now located in the 'High Resolution Images' collection.

You start Chapter Nine with a cash amount of 120 in your wallet and there are opportunities to find more free cash at various points in Chapters Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve.
There is 600 in total hidden throughout these four episodes.
Finding all of that cash will take some exploring and will compromise what you can do during each of those chapters.
But as with all the chapters, you can't do everything in one play through.
That's the consequence of creating re...
The solo pathways are now available to play on the dsp3000.games website.
As an alternative to the Bridgette pathway, this more or less doubles the size of the episode and adds another full and varied range of options to explore.
The update also adds another two bonus scenes which take place within the Pink Pussy strip club.
You will need a combination of cash and credits to get the most o...

The Academy game has tens of thousands of files and probably millions of lines of code in it.
I work alone with the assistance of a web developer and sometimes we miss stuff.
Even with the help of a few great beta testers, occasionally a few glitches can occur.
If you find something then don't go bitching about it on forums because that solves nothing.
Instead, send me a private message here on...
As small group of supporters have become a regular team of invaluable Beta Testers since The Academy website was launched in April 2022.
Many of them have been long term fans going way back to the original game releases on vdategames.com
If you have great attention to detail, an unswerving level of patience and e...
Despite all the things we have done in terms of the coding and structure of the game, some things can still compromise your game saves.
This is mostly due to the vagaries of browsers.
The first thing to make sure of is that you are using Mozilla Firefox.
More about this here > FAQ : Which browser should I use to play 'The Academy'?
If you are using Firefox then there are a fe...
The Academy is a browser based interactive game which uses internet browser cookies to create, record and store achievements, scores and a few other variables while playing each chapter.
These can then be saved and carried over to the next chapter and so on.
Different browsers handle cookies and variables in different ways which can be frustrating when they do something you don't want them to.
The short answer to this is no you won't.
Once you have unlocked a bonus scene in The Academy game it remains permanently unlocked in your account on the website.
Game saves and the bonus scenes are stored independently from one another, so deleting a game save will never also remove your access to the bonus scene.
In other words, you only ever have to pay once to unlock any of the bo...

We are nearly there with the solo pathway for Chapter Twelve, but this update is the addition of the first of five bonus scenes which will be available in this chapter.
The Chapter Twelve Bridgette bonus is an opportunity to have a little sexy and risky fun on the walk back to Bridgette's apartment.
It's available on the Bridgette pathway whether you are just with Bridgette, or if you met up with Didi in the Pink Pussy club.
Make sure you play a strong Bridgette game to get to th...

To say that September has been a bit of a challenge would be an understatement.
Life really does throws a few curve balls every now and then.
If my days were always as simple as telling stories, creating pretty pictures and pushing a few million pixels around then, if nothing else, I'd sleep much better.
I started the month full of optimism about how on course I was to get Chapter Twelve all completed and released in good time.
Unfortunately I've been pulled away from the ...
This is a small preview of what to expect in the forthcoming Chapter 12.
In the first release of the 'Date with Bridgette' episodes, the Pink Pussy stripclub formed the late evening part of your date night.
Several variations could occur there during your time with Bridgette. There was also the possibility of being joined by Didi too.
Although quite a lot could happen with Bridgette within the stripclub, and on your journey home, it was largely a bridge to getting back to Bridget...
Yesterday I asked you to think of a name for this new character who will feature in the new Chapter 12 when it is released later this month.
She is a performer at the Pink Pussy stripclub and she needs a stage name.
There was a great response and some fantastic suggestions.
I've created a shortlist and this poll to see which name is the most popular.
The poll will run for a week ...

This is a new character who will feature in the new Chapter 12 when it is released later this month.
At the moment, I have a name for her but I'm not especially happy with it.
So I'm going to ask you guys for some suggestions.
Once we have a shortlist I'll run a poll to see which name is the most popular.
The winning name will be used in the new chapter and the patron who suggested it will get 2500 credits as a prize!
For reference there are already four other p...
The past couple of weeks have been all about modifying and repairing the existing website.
It isn't something we'd planned for, but a combination of an automated update to the website hosting and the realisation about cookie limits did throw things out a bit.
We have had to work reactively rather than proactively which has at times been a bit stressful.
It did however finally give us a logical explanation for most of the issues that had been appearing with players game sav...
