Fixed: Fixed an issue where main_character_apartment_closed_sunset wasn't found Fixed an issue where apartment_stairs_day wasn't found Removed: Removed Epic Games Support (in the demo only) Thank you to anyone who played the game, and expect the next build on Itch.io to start Chapter 2.

- Daring Academy Alpha 0.1.0 is coming on January 1st, 2024! - 29 December 2023
Here it is, the version you've all been waiting for, Alpha 0.1.0... Daring Academy Alpha 0.1.0 is divided into two versions: Original Version and Chapter 1 Demo. Differences on the Chapter 1 Demo: It's available on Steam Itch.io and Gamejolt for free, even when the main game is done (0.1.0 to 1.0.0 will only be available on Itch.io) Achievements are removed, due to an issue on Steam's end Backgrounds in UIs are changed to the apartment, indicating the moving in of the main character and Amelia Anything regarding the full game has been changed to mention the demo, that includes logos, version numbers, etc We strongly recommend you play the Chapter 1 Demo to get a feel of the game, as if you plan on getting all achievements in the game, saves from the Chapter 1 Demo won't give the achievements from Chapter 1 upon playing Chapter 2 and onward, due to issues with Steam demos and all. Note:…
- Daring Academy Alpha 0.0.6 is coming on January 1st, 2023! - 24 December 2022
While not adding the voice sound effects like wanted, due to internal issues and all, this update still adds a lot of useful aspects to the game, mainly the Music Room, colored textboxes, and all. This update acts as a polishing update for Chapter 1, and add code for Chapter 2. Unfortunately, Alpha 0.1.0 might take longer to be released, as I recently moved out and need to buy more for it, like a desk, chair, and such. I sincerely apologize for that. Note: As with any alphas, there are a ton of internal code changes, so saves might not be compatible between the old versions, so beware. Important note: There is an issue with the new Discord Rich presence code that may crash/freeze the game upon full restart of Windows or recompiling of the game and Discord is opened. To fix this, close the game, open Task Manager, right click Discord select "End Task", then open the game again. A proper…
- Daring Academy Alpha 0.0.5 is coming on October 7th, 2022! - 1 October 2022
If you were paying attention during Alpha 0.0.5's development, you know there was supposed to have an Alpha 0.0.4.1. Well, due to an issue concerning the new "Catching Moments" and TuneCore, a music distribution service which both "Monster Orb, The Game We Play" and "Lily's Sorrow" were uploaded on to be distributed on YouTube Music, Spotify and such, it got merged with Alpha 0.0.5. This update mainly changes the phone system to a better looking one, adding the stat system back, and enhancing it by adding the Relationship Status screen, and changing "Catching Moments" to have it sung by Zoemaria44 (The original version is in the Additional Soundtrack, don't worry), this massive update solves as a polishing update to be ready for a demo on Itch.io and Steam. The next update should hopefully be an Alpha 0.0.5.1 update, probably adding Voice Sound Effects, or be in the Alpha 0.1 update, wh…
