Hi All, It's been a busy few weeks for us! There's a lot of amazing things going on behind the scene but have to hold out on any official announcement until until they are finalized. That said, let's take a sneak peek at some of the things. Audio - SFX / AmbienceAnything audio related is extremely important to us as it is a crucial avenue to get a sense of the world within the VN. In addition to an original OST, we have recently partnered up with a audio studio to custom create every SFX / ambience noise. What does this mean? It means that every little detail you hear is created and shaped exactly as intended. Being a sci-fi project, it was a significant achievement to find the right team that shares our vision. We'll be announcing our partnership with the public release of the teaser (when you'll be able to hear all the audio in all its glory). For now, here is a preview of what MC's motorcycle sounds like to get an idea of the level of quality and detail: Ace Academy - Bike SFX PlaylistWritingAs the more perceptive of you have noticed, we've had an adventure with writers joining and departing the project. We've been searching for like-minded individuals who can deliver with consistency as with the rest of the project components. The easier way out would have been just to settle for mediocrity and push out the project. But that sort of mentality isn't us. I'm happy to say the most recent writer who has joined the project has already delivered immensely and is currently exceeding our high standards. So long as this trend continues, I strongly believe the writing team is well on its way. GEAR (Ground Energy Accelerated Robot)A bit early to show but since the last couple of delays, we owe you some of the things we've been working on. Here is a general idea of what the mechs (known as GEARs) typically look like for Japanese models: That's all for now! As always, please let us know your thoughts below. Thanks,

We are doing a major overhaul of text to ensure writing consistency as for the delay for Alpha day 1&2.

This really reminds me of the old days of Kamen Rider- not that this is a bad thing, on the contrary in fact! It's nice to hear that there is still a lot of stuff going on in any case and I'm excited to see where this will lead \o/

So... I am guessing a certain someone will conveniently fall on the red mech, his hands will be conveniently placed on the mech boobs, and the pilot will scream "Pervert!"

WritingAs the more perceptive of you have noticed, we've had an adventure with writers joining and departing the project. ...Why do I feel like this is sarcasm? Specifically, why do I feel like this is sarcasm directed entirely at me? Is Ace Academy even in the right genre for that?

Well, I was unfair since I only commented on the red mech, so I am going to comment on the green mech too. Here's my comment:
Well, I guess you guys can leave the cape be, but worth mentioning that in realistic arguments... Cape is not really... yeah...
And congrats for the partnership. Those are good sounds, way better than just pick a cheap recorder and record a bike.

Because it has a fair size on the back But please feel free to ignore me, this is just an insignificant note and I don't dislike the mechs design, in fact I think they are cool. It's just that I have that annoying side that when it sees a stupid/"unrealistic" detail, it nags on my mind for hours... (ok, sometimes it only nags for minutes, like this case, considering the guy I suspect that mech belongs to...)

You want to make your mech look flashy or have that extra oomph to try and garner sponsors. That is also why a female pilots GEAR may have a more feminine design as their marketability goes up. I'd like to think we put some thought into lore so if something doesn't make sense, I'll try my best to let you know the design choice behind it (otherwise it is explained in game).
