January 3rd Update

Hi! There were some bugs in the most recent build, so I’ve prepared a new update where all those issues are resolved.

To see a list of everything that got improved or fixed, please scroll down past this absolutely incredible illustration of Ayano by @__lictoria_!

Improvements

  • In Custom Mode, it is now possible to increase/decrease a student’s Liked/Respected/Feared faster by holding down the button instead of pressing it numerous times.
  • Protagonist Hairstyle #184 now has physics and will no longer clip into the protagonist’s body when running.

Fixes

  • If the player pushed a student from the school rooftop, left a fake suicide note, disposed of the corpse, and then went home, the game would display a line of text stating that “a teacher found a corpse” when it was really meant to say that “a teacher found a suicide note.” This bug has been fixed.
  • In Custom Mode, if the player instructed a student to “Stretch” or “Perform” or “LunchWitnessSpot” or “LunchWitnessPosition” as part of their schedule, that student would simply skip over that part of their day and proceed directly to the next stage of their routine. This bug has been fixed.
  • In Custom Mode, after activating the “invert hair” option for any student, all hair models would always flip, hair that wasn’t meant to flip would flip, and flipped hair would re-flip if the player navigated away from it and then navigated back to it. This bug has been fixed.
  • During Kokona’s tutorial sequence, if the player completed any tutorial that involved the incinerator and then started another tutorial that involved the incinerator, that tutorial would automatically end. This bug has been fixed.
  • When customizing a student in Custom Mode, it was possible to increase a student’s Liked/Respected/Feared number, but it was not possible to decrease that number. Oops! This was a bug. That bug has now been fixed.
  • The “game checks for voice lines to play during Custom Mode events” feature was working for morning events, but was not working for end-of-day events, sabotaged or not. This bug has been fixed.
  • If the player entered the “Week Select” screen from the Custom Mode menu, the screen would be glitched. This bug has been fixed.
  • The hair model for one of the girls in the 1989 sports club was clipping into her head slightly. This bug has been fixed.
  • The “Invert Hair” feature did not apply to teacher characters. Now it does.
  • The “Invert Hair” feature did not apply to the protagonist. Now it does.
