Horny Mage Academy: Dark Tower

The completion shown on the journal is bugged, but it will count for the grade at the end of the semester properly as long as its in your inventory, and the journal will be cleared after the semester.

Which image or animation is stuck?

Most of the events use the same image slot to display their animations, so  if it's from a more recent event just playing any other image/event again (even through recollection room near homeroom!) should fix it.

But let me know which event/animation caused the issue too so I can fix it for the future!

I think theres a script error with qabs and qpathfind there.

the plugins and combat system is getting updated in the near future, so it should be fixed then (and also moved over to the new version of the waterway dungeon!)

From the very buggy forest ruins dungeon.
To get there you need the growth spell from homeroom's quest that you get after attending a few times, and you use it on the upper field area outside of the school near the cliffs, which should grow a plant you can climb up.

There's not a completely fleshed out prostitution path for them, but there are ways to get them to go out!

For Anya, after finishing her story call her on the comm and you can start her side story, which involves her playing with village men.

For Eillana, after finishing her story talk to her at night in her room with no other events running to start her side-story, which involves a series of misadventures in search of a way to increase her magical power! (And this eventually leads her into, among other things, playing around with village men!)

The game is still very much in early access, and is developed by a single developer with a dayjob in an unrelated field who does all of the art, coding, scripting, writing, animation, and everything else.

Polish will come, but it's taking a while.

in the dorms? I'll look into it, they should respawn on changing maps but I'll test to make sure after saving/ loading they reload properly

Human births take a much longer period of time than monster births, about double that of nekomatas and triple that of imps, according to the code, or anywhere from 30-45 days after you enter stage 2 (full belly) which itself takes 15ish days to enter.

Part of the issue might be the variance that human pregnancies have compared to monster ones. Imp pregnancy always takes 28 days according to the code, but human pregnancy can be as short as 52 days or as long as 72! days.

The enhanced length of the pregnancy is supposed to tie into some more in-depth pregnancy events around human pregnancies and separate them from monsters, which grow rapidly in comparison.

I think the birth scene itself might be broken at the moment(I think I was redoing artwork for them and needed to make some new ones for it), but the pregnancy will resolve after a lengthy wait, and the missing scenes will be implemented once I can finish up the art for them.

Thanks for letting me know on the bug, the entire slime hunt section is getting a revamp with the next update so it should be fixed soon! I'm not quite sure why it would lock your movement, I'll look into that as well.

Any manual saves before the autosave should still work, the autosave goes to as save slot that shouldn't be normally accessible to the player (if it is it's a bug)

Thanks for the bug reports!

Ill look into all of them.

The last one is a bug with the animations system for a lot of the older animations. I think the newer ones dont have the same issue and the older ones that do have it are being replaced with updated art over time.

I'll see if I can get it fixed faster but the issue involves rpgmaker's own engine having some issues loading images at runtime. Without porting it to the new system it will take a while to fix these older ones, and porting the older ones without updating the art at the same time will take a lot of devtime that will have to be repeated a second time for the updated artwork as well.

I'll do some testing and try to get some bugfixes in soon!

Never mind, found it!

Possibly, for certain characters in the future. Likely nothing permanent though because of the difficulty of retrofitting all previous scenes to the new bust size.

It wouldn't be anytime soon either unfortunately, as there's a ton of stuff to do in the backlog already!

I ran out of money to pay for hosting unfortunately! I was paying for it all out of pocket but lost my dayjob with the pandemic and the costs finally caught up as my income dropped. The game will still be developed the same, just no website for a while.

The dorms is a known bug. They return anytime you leave and re-enter.

It was built before the walking and standing students were implemented, and needs to be redone entirely to use the same system, but will take a while to be properly redone.

I think choir/dark church events increase willpower, and also likely a class or two, though I would have to double check the code for all of them. Stats are gained from classes (each class adds 1 stat), clubs (gardening club, choir/dark church, book club (gives mana regen!), and jobs (kitchen, tavern, and nurses)

It's somewhat logical in most cases (you'll get intelligence and mana from stuff like book club or magic classes, or strength and agility and hp from more physical jobs and clubs like kitchen work or combat courses, etc etc) Some of them can be found on the wiki here, although its not 100% up-to-date with everything.

Most consistent way to get willpower is probably attending choir or repeating the mana manipulation 1 class (which gets you +1 each and is available at the start)

The first time you visit you should have a spell that Anya can use. and you can run away for a bit to get some space and then fire as they approach.

There's no penalty for waiting as far as I remember, so you can always come back after you learn some new spells from future classes, then retake the artifacts class to properly finish its assignment.

Should be fixed with the next update, hopefully soonish! Might be a bugfix on the main site's download too, least for the bathrooms https://hmadarktower.com/index.php/downloads/.

It should be possible to take less than 4 courses, but sometimes the selection glitches out.  Choosing to take 5 of the cheapest courses, then declining to take them once it asks you to confirm seems to fix it for me. I'll try to get it debugged as soon as I can!

The latest version just updated does fix several issues with taking fewer than 4 classes, so hopefully it works better!

V21.2 release, to be clear.

I got really busy around the time I was uploading it and forgot to get it up here as well!

By the time I remembered, I got notified of a few bugs with the new events not working, so I figured I would fix them up first and just skip to the 23.1 release soonish.

It's available here in the meanwhile for anyone that wants access! https://hmadarktower.com/index.php/downloads/
