I loved the first game was a little disapointed with liberation day but I still liked it. I saw the next game is called sunrider 4 both here and in vndb which just makes me think... is Acedemy important/canon or the 2 parts in the first game count separately?
Orignally I wanted to play academy because I tought it would be some kind of prequel with most of the captian old girlfriends and quality time with sister after each day but in the store screenshots I saw all of the usual girls so it's definitely not that. So I kinda don't really want to play it anymore unless there are some important things there or it's the magical third game I'm missing.
Also... any news on the new game? I just finished liberation day last week and saw how long has it been since it was released, is everything going smoothly?

The 2 parts in the first game are indeed counted separately, they were packaged together because First Arrival got a bunch of visual and gameplay upgrades when Mask of Arcadius came out. Academy is entirely a spinoff, but still beloved my many. The new game, Sunrider 4, is doing great. It's in a whole new game engine, and they put out a couple of other titles since Liberation day, so that's slowed things down. You can play the Beta for it now if you're willing to pay some to the Dev's Patreon.

I see I see, Thank you for the information. I'm glad it'll have a new engine. Both games had performance issues but liberation day was almost unplayable for me. I just hope it won't end in a cliffhanger this time, and the balance will be better.

Sunrider Academy is an alternate reality 'what if' type story. I believe it has some cannon in it, specifically the Sola and Ava routes. At the end of Liberation Day where Sola and the Captain are talking about Claude, I believe that information connects to the alternate Sola in Academy. The scene were Ava is talking to herself (and/or her dad) in the mirror also makes a bit more sense, at least to me, after following the Ava route in Academy.
All in all I wouldn't say Sunrider Academy is required to play and enjoy Liberation Day, but I think it does add some relevant minor background information.

I agree with magicdragon.
It's good to play Sunrider Academy, even though it's not part of the connon universe, because some understandings you can take from there. For example, in the Ava route, the player can get a better glimpse of Ava's relationship with her father and understand much of the trauma that shaped her personality.
