Vote Academia : School Simulator for Labor of Love!

Hello scholars, it's Steam awards season once again and we're reaching out to you to vote for Academia. We know we don't have a chance in hell at winning, but a single vote from a player will bring a sense of satisfaction to the entire team.

We have been laboring on Academia : School Simulator for almost 4 years at this point, and to celebrate that, we've prepared some new branches of the game for you to be able to experience just how far we've come. Each branch points back to the "safest" version of the game after one of our major launches. Be forewarned that your current saves will not work with the older versions, and that there will probably be unforeseen bugs in these versions of the game.

Here's how to access the different branches:

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) Enter the beta access code to unlock private betas type (see the list of branches below to know what code to enter)
5) Click on "check code"
6) Under "Select the beta you would like to opt into" click on the dropdown menu and click on the branch you unlocked
7) You should now have access to the branch

Here are the new branches you can access:

Launch Version (Alpha 1)

code : academiaalpha1

This was the game at its barebones, just enough there to be called a "game" but not enough content to keep our scholars satisfied (and they les us know it!)

Alpha 2

code : academiaalpha2
Alpha 2 added subject departments, subject knowledge, trash management, customized school settings, and the art room.

Alpha 3

code : academiaalpha3
Alpha 3 added reports, research and achievements, satisfaction, student relationships, loans, and a vastly improved UI.

Alpha 4

code : academiaalpha4
Alpha 4 is our most recent major update. It added teacher traits, renaming zones, Events, special principals, buying land, goons, and much more!

Thanks so much for sticking with us all these years, and and extra special thanks to everyone that votes for us. Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon!
