After many months of exams and presentations, I finally finished my training in June and was able to resume work on the game! And today is the day of when I'm finally able to release the 7th update of Mind the School. Version 0.2.1! Because of what happened in the last half year, the update isn't as packed as I wanted it to, but I think it will suffice.

Directly upfront, I'm still working on releasing for android, but for some reason, Ren'Py just decided to not build the APKs anymore, and I'm struggling to fix that problem, so for now the release is only on PC, Linux and Mac.

Now to what changed:

Changes

Stats

  • Stats for students, teachers and parents have been merged into one representing the entire school
  • each party keeps its own set of stats due to compatibility concerns
    • all sets are not in use except for the student set, which is now the main set
      • all parties still keep their own progression level

PTA

  • Voting system and probability calculation has been overhauled
    • rework in accordance to the new stat system
      • instead of the parties voting on the same set of conditions based on their own stats, the parties now vote on their own set of conditions together with one shared set,
      • probability calculation has been simplified.
        • calculation is still in testing phase
          • it is possible, that the probability shown in the journal does not match the one measured in the PTA itself.
          • probability in journal is based on the voting probability of all three parties, while in PTA the three parties all calculate their own probability separately

  • Introducing Linh Nguyen
  • Enhanced character retrieval for use in events

GUI

  • Added button to skip to the next day in map overview
  • Background in Main Menu can now be switched between different animations
  • Background in Main Menu can now be switched between animated and static

Quest System

  • Updated quest system to include new events
  • A rework of the Quest System is planned for 0.2.2 so please don't report bugs related to the quest system, as they will be worked at in the next big update.
    • The quest system only represents the current state of the game and has no influence on the game whatsoever, so the events still work even if the quest system doesn't update.

Misc

  • Fixed multiple bugs


Note for using existing save games from 0.1.4 and before:

I made sure to keep all the save files created from 0.1.2 and upwards compatible. The old saves should have no problems loading. For the selection of the new proficiencies, you'll get a prompt to select one.

IMPORTANT! It is possible that you get an error while loading an old savegame. In that case, you can just click on ignore a few times until you land on the map or get a selection menu. These errors are due to possible compatibility problems, like changed image paths or small changes in some game objects, but don't worry. The game has self repair mechanisms and once you return to the map all of the problems should be fixed. It is possible no location is clickable on the map. That can be fixed by opening and closing the journal or skipping the time.

A visual glitch is also possible on the map when loading an old save-game or when encountering an event with missing images. The map is still usable though and that glitch is fixed after going through another event.

Almost all of those images are due to using savegames from older versions, BUT they shouldn't compromise the games functionality and are mostly visual bugs that come after loading. After fixing the bugs with the steps mentioned above and saving, those problems will be gone for the new savegame file.
