Hey everyone, we got reports that there were some critical bugs with build 0053, so we had to push this one out earlier than we hoped.
The plus side is that the first major mechanic has been added to the game : Delinquency! Students will now randomly generate a tendency for delinquency, and you won't know it until they start acting out in class. Rowdy students will get sent to the principal's office, where the principal will give them a proper scolding and send them to detention.
Speaking of which, you can now select some of your classrooms to turn them into a detention room. Students will go there after school to learn to be better citizens (or not).
Obviously there's still a lot of work to do with delinquency, like adding bullying, truancy, and guidance counselors, but most of the underlying work is now in place so that we can add those to the game in the following weeks.
Since we pushed this out early, there will be bugs! Many bugs! We will put this in both the candidate branch and the main branch.
To access the Candidate Branch on Steam:
1) Go to your game library and right click on Academia School Simulator
2) In the pop up window, find and click on Properties.
3) In the properties window, click on the Betas Tab
4) Under Enter beta access code to unlock private betas type : academiacandidate
5) Click on "check code"
6) Under "Select the beta you would like to opt into" click on the dropdown menu and click on "candidate"
7) You should now have access to the latest candidate build
If you would like to keep playing your old saves from build 0049 and below, we have also added an "outdated" build.
To access this build simply follow the instruction above but instead enter beta access code "academiaoutdated" and select the "outdated" build in teh dropdown menu.
