Ren'Py - Maeve's Academy [v0.6.1] [Hatchet Games]

i love this game. it's so good. the girls are pretty, the story's fun, the characters loveable, and it means so much to me that the protagonist isn't constantly thinking about sex. Like, I get that it's a porn game and all but for real some situations, like, need maturity. Instead, sex is thrust upon him like "woe, lust be upon ye" and I love it.

Also, I can forgive a couple of typos, but please replace that one moment when Maeve accidentally calls the MC by his default name. It bugs me.

Anyways, looking forward for the next update! Lilith & Maeve sex when.

PS: please make an itch.io account. It may give more attention to your game.

(Updated to v0.5.2) (Changed Rating from 5 to 4)
It's an interesting choice for the devs to AGAIN changed the game opening scenes and stories, and though I loath to say this but I'm not the biggest fan of this newest opening. It felt rushed and the pacing is a bit weird. The writing unfortunately felt awkward and stiff, and while I can see what they're trying to expand upon (the lore) it just felt darker than in the previous versions. I just prefer them arriving via train and meeting Lilith there.

Speaking of Lilith, they changed her from a smiling but very tired and overworked witch teacher into a workaholic, frowning, reluctant looking witch teacher, which is a grave sin. Not a fan.

I like that they made the Headmistress more mature looking and sexier, and the addition of basic characters editor to the NPC is a welcome addition. The animations have also improved, now it's smoother and look more natural.

The writing itself, well, it can be better, I'll admit. It's not the worse but it's not the thing that will make you want to go back to. It's... passable.

Positive:
-The premise.
-The Art.
-The Characters.

Negative:
-Stiff, awkward writing/dialogues.
-Rushed opening pacing (especially if you compare it to the previous version)

Unfortunately, after replaying it again I had to dropped one star of the rating. It's still worth the experience playing, however, so I recommend trying it.

The only thing I have a bad feeling about is that updates may take the span of months. This is overruled however by the amazing art and story elements. Very hard to find games of this quality.
Thank you very much for your gift to the ero VN community.

I already liked the iteration of this game and the new direction seems to be more promising already.
The art is spot on for me from the start and the way the story is going on promises more avenue if you keep doing it right.
The magic mini game is better now and I hope that you will more minigame show the protagonist magic progress outside the "disarming one".

V0.01 It is just a demo, but it already shows how promising this is. I really like the way the MC is written, the art is amazing, and the characters so far have been great as well. I cannot wait to see more!
My only suggestion would be, that if at all possible, lewd scenes could be animated for future versions.

Art: 10/10

story: dunno bro, feels empty, but the thing hasn’t even hits it beta? Is that what you call it hahahahahahah maybe haha.

ero: Yes, 4 scenes I’ve found, each good.


RPG: no, and good, no tedious grinding, but I want some more action, but not too much.


Best girl: Succ girl, and elf girl who remind me of a certain character from a show.

[Version 0.0.1]
This is extremely promising. Excellent character design and writing, great art style, and a good attention to detail (e.g. the characters bobbing their heads, extremely cute touch). The "raise stat to unlock scene to unlock new stat-raising actions" VN model is a classic, but it's a classic for a reason. Of course, with only one girl included to any real extent, things can get a bit repetitive, but this is a demo, and this will be easily fixed by the inclusion of more progression.
Stupid nitpick: The map icon, which is what gets used most frequently by the player, should be in the top-right, with the relationship status icon beneath it, rather than vice versa as it is now.

Overall, I really hope development continues apace. Céline best girl

Gameplaywise is good, need some pulish but for a demo is a OK, a little bit too short even for a technical demo but it has potential.
The art looks great and stilized in a modern style, my kudos to the author for using original art instead of relying in poorly made Daz3D stuff, pretty uncommon in the indie adult games scene in these days.

Amazing artstyle, dialogues and quite the interesting story so far, at least for me. I'm very pleased by the early stages of this game and I tend to be quite picky when it comes to non-japanese games. It shows a lot of potential, can't wait to see more content.

Alright. I've always been in love with this kind of artstyle since RedCat7 on twitter. And then you get cute girls, enjoyable conversations and a Maid????? Sign me the fuck in. i'm sure i'll be paying attention to every update on this game and try to squeeze some money onto their patreon <3

This is too good! I eagerly await the next release! The art style is fantastic, the interactions are great. I really want to see more of the dueling in game once exploration or other interactions are available.

After trying v0.0.1 I can say that I like what I see, I like the character design a lot, obviously it lacks a story, it's the first demo but I like what I see, I hope the game can be developed until the end , I really like Annie and Celina, but I think that Lilith promises a lot and of course, the maid
I don't see anything bad at the moment, so here are my 5 stars, good game, good start

Very good so far! It's still really early but so far the foundation for the game is really solid. Dialogue is good without being too lengthy or trying too hard to be witty. The characters all have personalities. The art is amazing and really cute.

super clean artwork, games with sandbox trainer type themes always get me exited, I believe this is one of the first projects from this dev (that i know of) so I am super interested in seeing the progression of this game, downloading it right now and I already know its going to be fantastic, good luck Hatchet Games!
