Hi, really wanting to enjoy the game but having some issues: namely, that the game wont even start for me. I'm sure it's something on my end (it usually is; I'm not the most tech-literate) but I've downloaded the game from the official site twice, extracted, and clicked the application, only for nothing to happen. I tried googling for the solution but came up mostly short. The only real clue I might have to why I'm having this problem is that the folders are empty, but the files I assume are supposed to be in those folders are right under. Additionally, when I extract, it asks if I want to replace files. I've said yes to the first try, no to the second, and nothing changed. Dunno if it factors, but figured I'd add.

Can anyone help me out, please?
Does you Academy34 folder look like this?

Are there any files in the "game" folder?
What is the total size of the Academy34 folder in megabytes?
Make sure you're clicking the regular .exe file, not the -32 one.

Nope, my folder did not look like that at all, but I think I figured it out: 7-zip might have been unzipping the file wrong or something because I tried a different extraction tool then clicked the application and it worked. I'm not sure why that is, but things are running fine now.
Thank you for the quick response and sorry for wasting your time.
 
  • Yay, update!

An important note for those, who wants to see all possible interactions: This route is affected by whether or not you have already completed Yun's storyline. I would highly suggest playing through this story on a fresh save file, or on a save file where Yun's story is not yet completed, if you want to experience as much content as possible.
And i'm like "Who in the bloody bomboclat is Yun?" Anyways, this new content seems nice asf, haven't played last release so double content for mua

I've been having issues with the last few releases where when I open them, they appear in task manager for a split second then close again. I've tried different extracting methods but I can't seem to figure it out

SONYA, PART 2 — $2 RELEASE


The best girls deserve the best updates.

To say that we went overboard with Sonya's story is to say nothing at all. Given the limitations we have to work around, this is without a doubt a huge jump for us, as developers, and probably the most successful twist on our usual formula we have done to date. While we might have not reinvented the genre, we certainly opened a door for more intricate stories to be introduced in the future. Never before had we dared to add branching paths into our game, and not because of laziness or time constrains alone, but because making multiple equally compelling stories is a huge undertaking, especially within a singular update. But as our team grew and we slowly accumulated more and more experience working as game developers, there couldn't be a better time to start introducing new ideas into the mix.

That's why we are incredibly proud to present Sonya's new update! Not only this is one of the largest story expansions our game had ever seen, it's also the very first non-linear story, where your past choices and route progression matters. On top of that, it features three unique h-scenes and brings back the animations! We've done everything we could've, and even some things we thought we couldn't, all the while we somehow managed to still maintain our monthly release schedule! And while it might still be far from what we consider to be an "ideal" update, we're slowly creeping towards this dream.

This time you will follow the protagonist through wild and uncharted land of "friendship with many benefits", or at least that's how Sonya refers to your unusual situationship. Each passing moment more and more questions will arise, bringing you closer to realization of the truth behind her true motives. It's not the kind of drama or mystery you're used to, it's something new entirely. Her problem is not a problem, this drama is not a drama, everything is whack and far off the norm. Your senses are tingling, but you can't quite put the finger on why exactly. Each step down this path raises new questions, but you can't help yourself but continue onward. After all, she's so hot!

So, without further ado...

Sonya, Part Two — Electric Boogaloo! It's finally here and it's literally better than ever! Don't waste a moment and jump straight into the world of wild student love!

GRIND NEVER STOPS!


As you probably guessed by now, we're already hard at work making our next update. And if Sonya was huge, the next one is humongous! We are updating the entirety of Seraphina's storyline, which includes: Character designs, backgrounds, story elements, scenes, and basically everything there is. We weren't satisfied with how barebones Seraphina's character felt, especially considering the untapped potential she has as a scientist and a doctor, so this is our attempt at redeeming otherwise rather boring plotline.

But since that alone wasn't enough, we are also adding completely new character, expanding the existing sequences with more content, and introducing a lot, and we mean a lot of lore into the game. It's about time we started taking the world of Academy34 more seriously and gave you a bit more insight into what is happening both within and outside of campus walls.

Stay tuned for more news and sneak peaks of the upcoming additions, because we have much to tell!

ah man and here i was hoping for the next kiriko release. I guess finally having a proper story for 'seraphine' will be cool. Good work as always people who update the OP and also Young Naughty themselves.

getting this error any time kiriko's name is mentioned at all. I'm guessing that her name is just missing from a list somewhere but I can't find the character name list in the game files to save my life
