Hello and a pleasant Junes end to everyone! It's Clock here, with another dev journal for Growth Academy! This marks the start of our game's presence on Itch.io and use of it for publishing and distributing updates to the platform. It both feels so soon, yet so long since the last build, and boy do we have some good stuff for you. This dev cycle has seen a lot of good momentum with the project, as well as some new content for you all to enjoy! 

What to expect since the last time? 

• For Honoka, we have a rewrite for BE016 for you guys to take a look at, along with MC008! We've got a number of size 3 sprites finished, nude and topless sprites, Reworked size 4, and new expression across all outfits and sizes! (Also, maybe give scene 049 a replay wink wink)
• For Shiori, her -G ending now has a completed sprite set. There's also a crossover scene with Alice, WGAE010!
• We have lots of new sprites for Naomi! Naomi's Size 1 Garden Outfit set, Naomi's Size 1 Happy-2 expression - for uniform and garden outfit, Naomi's Size 4 Unique, Unique-2, and Embarrassed expressions.
• Lots of new stuff for Akira! Akira has 6 new scenes (26, 87A, 87B, 88, 89 and FMGWG005), one Rewrite (FMG022), new expressions for Size 5, new Size 5 outfits for Akira and Nat, new CG, and minor dialogue adjustments in various scene.
• Alice has 4 new scenes (WGAE010, WG082, WG084, WGFMG005), and small additions to WGBE004B (WGAE001 is a size 2 scene); three new outfits, and her size 5 expressions are now fully implemented.
• Aida has three new rewrites (45, 46, 47), updated sprites, and a new CG! Finally, we have a LOT of new content around the surrounding story of GA.
• New scenes, RM002 Rewrite, global005, MC008, updates to scenes global000, RM001, MC002, MC005, MC006, MC007, MC024, MC033, new music, and Tomoko's Dorm background.
• As well, we also have sprites implemented for Hageshi and Tsubasa-sensei! Tsubasa in particular is one of our most detailed sprites yet!

And that should be everything! I would like to take a moment to thank everyone who has been working hard on GA. It's hard work, but I love it, and all of you! If anyone is interested in joining our team, feel free to let us know! With that, I hope you enjoy the new release of Growth Academy, and I'll see y'all next time!
