Has anyone else played Academy Part I from dsp3000 on vdategames yet?

http://www.vdategames.com/wordpress/?p=745

Definitely dsp's best game so far. Some of the girls are really good. Lola made an appearance in the Maria-afternoon path in Tara Part 3. I've really liked her character model since then, and I'm glad that it appears she has a thing for the Player Character so far in the Academy series.

The setting is interesting. Seems like there are other guys there, as well, but you just never see them other than Sebastian. I mean, the dialog implies, to me, that it's not really a girls-only school, I guess.

As far as gameplay, this is definitely dsp's most advanced and branching game... though it seems like most branches give a momentary reward to only kill your progress. lol

dsp says that there are 6 "good ending" codes you can obtain. I've managed to obtain only one so far:

dsp says that there are 2 "best" codes, and I assume the other 4 are lesser. Maybe they're like letter grades in school... If that's the case then I suppose one way to get a code is to:

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the other "best" code. I feel like I am balancing risk and return pretty well to get the code I did. Any more "risk" and I'll probably get another bad ending...

Has anyone else figured out a way to get the other "best" code? I wonder if it's a specific thing you have to avoid doing or it's a matter of points, like keeping under a particular point level (or surpassing it).

Datamining the files yields the answer you're looking for. There are 6 possible codes you can get if you finish the game. The game uses a variable, called 'inf', which I'm guessing stands for influence? But it's your happiness in the game (the left of the 2 happiness/love meters that's always on screen. Each smile in that column represents 5 points, except the first one which you get starting at 15 points. The best ending occurs when the variable is 95+, and 2nd best for a score of 90-94. In decreasing scores, it then follows 80-89, 65-79, 50-64, and lastly anything 49 or under.

I think it's a good start to this new series, I'm just disappointed that Maria is the only real love interest in this episode. I've also been unable to get anything but an under-the-desk BJ from her, and also unable to get the teasing scene from Laura and Amy where they strip down to their undies in your office.

Laura's by far my favorite girl in the game, but all of the girls look good, with Maria being my least favorite.

This is a great start on this new game series. The women are great looking and DSp is making them better each time. It's wierd but I actually prefer these style renders to lop style models. It's definitely fun but it did make it tough to only have sexual encounters with one girl when there are so many but I understand there are going to be quite a few installments. Fun game and probably going to be the best on the site when it's done.

yeah I played it. had a good ending. I don't think it has a good plot, but I like the new characters.

Edit: read over the part that is was available on the members site - derpy me

Where can I get a copy of this original game since I can find a link to a patch file

Never managed to get anything good from thir games without an walk-thought, so I download this one,. But am waiting for the walk thought,

I kind of get frustrated when I play 3 times in a row and get the same ending.

i don't wanting to disappoint you but

I really enjoyed vdategames back in the day, when the whole concept was new. Nowadays the plot in chaotic's games is very linear and not even well animated.
Since he introduced vdategames offsite, I got the feeling he spend less and less time for his works.

Well it is just my opinion. Others may enjoy them.

the teasing scene from Laura and Amy, from what i got, is not good for you, idk if there is a way to be succesful.

I'm well aware it'll lead to a bad end. I've already got the best code obtainable by beating it. Now to get the various bad ends.

he said he plans to make 5 episodes. so there will be 4 more, nowadays he is writing the second episode. you can suggest something in his blog since he is collecting the ideas from people. he may spend less, but at least he is quick than lessonofpassion guys.

A couple of bugs that aren't yet fixed...

I've also gotten only one code.

There are 13 endings. Only one good ending, which I've gotten. I'm pretty sure any ending with a code is the "good" ending. Have gotten four other bad endings. Still exploring. Have not had success getting the scene with Laura and Amy yet.

Stupid question:
but how the heck do i resize the game, on every new image I keep getting the choices off screen so i need to zoom out with crlt+mid mouse

Interesting... thanks for the info regarding the scores. Didn't think that codes would be in the files, but that makes sense. I'd rather earn them (even though, I admit, I do use "Inspect element" to find out what a particular choice influences sometimes).

As for "inf," I believe that's "infatuation."

As for Maria, I haven't had a problem getting beyond the BJ with her. Are you failing after that or are you just not getting the option to continue? I think, for Maria, I basically just come onto her in the cafeteria and select any answer that makes it look like I'm into her. That appears to really increase her lust.

Sorry, I couldn't find a link to a preview for the game on the site, so I just linked the blog post. I don't think chaotic is putting up previews of dsp's games like chaotic does for his own.

This isn't a chaotic game. It's by dsp3000, a guy who has been producing some games that chaotic posts on his site. I believe he encountered dsp after he (chaotic) made a series of blog posts explaining how he creates games, and dsp contacted him asking for help or something like that.

I keep getting Ending 7 (busted by Bridgette and the Principal while Maria is under my desk. The language in the ending tells me I should not have asked Bridgette for a blowjob. But I've never even had the opportunity to do so.

The second bug is minor, I think. When Didi comes into my office, she advises me on how to deal with distractions even though I did not select the distraction dialogue option.

I've also gotten only one code.
It's written down somewhere. A854#, I think.

There are 13 endings. Only one good ending, which I've gotten. I'm pretty sure any ending with a code is the "good" ending. Have gotten four other bad endings. Still exploring. Have not had success getting the scene with Laura and Amy yet.

Apparently, if dsp corrected that first bug and provided chaotic a fixed file. If you redownload the whole game, it's supposed to be fixed.

As for the Laura-Amy thing, I am pretty sure you cannot succeed with them. You can raise their lust quite a bit, but regardless, they turn you down and hemorrhage the points away when they say they have to go to class.

So. A few things I have found by "cheating" the game:

Anyway, this looks like a promising (decent art, somewhat dated story line, decent game mechanics) game and I can't wait for the next episode.
