As previously stated, I have now changed a few things around with my Patreon page set up.
VERY IMPORTANT : PLEASE READ
I cannot alter the prices of tiers while there are patrons actively pledging on them. Instead I have created duplicate tiers with the same bene...

I've just finished adding all the Executive Tier Member credits to everyone eligible. If you are reading this then that probably means you!
Along with the 1000 credits for August, I'm going to try and add more regular content particularly for you Executives...

Hello
I'm currently adding all the credits due for August.
This was a double credits month in advance of the tier price reductions I announced about a week ago.
To clarify, on this billing cycle you will have been charged on September 1st for for pledge during August.
So... This t...
As the image above states, I intend to change a few things around with my Patreon set up from the start of September.
Tier price reductions
To increase value and entice a few more people onto the Executive Member Tier I've decided to reduce the cost from the current...

So the last update that went up at the same time as the release of Chapter Four has solved some issues but caused a few more it seems.
We have been working on identifying the root causes and implementing solutions.
I'll try to explain what's been causing some of the specific issues and ...
I'm happy to announce that Chapter Four of The Academy series has now been released on the dsp3000.games website.
This is a really big episode with four bonus scen...
We've been working on updating the save game functionality and it's created a few temporary issues on the website which we are currently working to resolve.
At the moment, some saved games won't be displaying in member profiles, and those that are won't be showing the correct range of achi...

Just like last month
I completed the remake process for Chapter Four months ago so I'd almost forgotten how much time, effort and extra material has gone into it.
My focus recently has been wrestling with the technical issues with the website that have been delaying the release of this chapter.
But we a...
Hello everyone.
Thank you for all your patience while the eagerly anticipated release of Chapter Four creeps ever closer.
Once again my plans to have this episode released already have been thwarted by the complexities of making stuff work properly.
There was an issue with how games ...
After an off grid weekend I came back to a full inbox and a multi-page spreadsheet to work through.
Everyone should now have had any credits they were due, up to and including June, whether they have contacted me or not.
There are a couple of patrons whose email on the 2022-07-05 17:42:33 +0000 UTC

By the time I post this we will have (finally) launched Chapter Three.
As with the first two chapters there has been lots of work put into updating this part of the story.
The scoring system and display has been updated so it's in line with the rest of the game.
We now have a range o...
I'm not going to dwell on how difficult getting this chapter launched was but at least we have learned plenty which should make things smoother in the future.
Anyway, here it is > https://www.dsp3000.games/

It feels like we've been chasing our tails all weekend trying to find out what has been fucking up all the achievement displays, game saves and general gameplay for Chapter Three.
It's been very frustrating and very time consuming.

We are very close to launching Chapter Three.
There was a recurring problem that was coming up in Beta testing that was actually fairly simple to resolve once we had established what was causing it.
Chapter Three should be launched over the weekend now.
I'll announce it on here when ...
I guess you call the last few days a bit of a challenge.
In my attempts to speed up the process of launching the new chapters, I took on some additional technical access to the website.
This had previously been cautiously guarded by my developing partner, and probably for good reason......
I've spent the last couple of days restructuring what will be released as Chapters 9 -13.
This is what has been known as the 'Date with Bridgette' episodes.
It includes a huge amount of extra material which constitutes the various extra and alternative story paths which can take place o...
Although the Academy already has a sizeable ensemble cast, I often play around creating new characters to populate the peripheries.
As the story progresses you get to move away from the confines of the Academy and explore a whole host of other locations.
This mostly begins during Thursd...
Chapters One and Two went live a couple of days ago and so far so good.
There has been one reasonably substantial glitch which has now been resolved. Hopefully it won't have affected too many players.
The issue was with the credit payment sequence at the start of the second bonus ...

The whole website has also been updated to follow the new chapter structure.

I am happy and somewhat relieved to announce that we will be launching the all new and updated Chapters 1 and 2 tomorrow.
That's Thursday 2nd June.
We've had a whole load of technical issues to resolve but we are now pretty confident that things are running as they should.

Out of all the students at The Academy there is one who probably stands out as perhaps having the most potential to cause trouble.
Annie likes to build upon her reputation as a rebel. But maybe she really does have some foundation to that claim.
It's clear that Annie doesn't like author...
Let's face it, the world needs assholes and the Academy series has one in residence.
Sebastian is a fun character to work with.
He basically thinks with his dick and isn't afraid to think out loud.
The girls and staff all think he's a jerk, and that's mostly due to past experien...
Firstly... I obviously really need to temper my use of the word 'imminent'...
I honestly thought that we were much closer than we were when I made that announcement a couple of weeks ago.
Apologies for having to explain more delays in adding the new game material to the new website.

We are gradually making up ground on the delayed website launch now and I'm confident that Episode One will be up some time next week.
We have some more testing to do to make sure everything works as it should but so far it's looking good.
This will be a completely remastered episod...
After going through the first round of credit allocations covering January, February and March, I've decided to tweak the way that credits are allocated in future.
Executive Tier Members will still earn 500 credits per month.
