Hello School Simulator Early Access Players,
First and foremost, I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have purchased early access and have chosen to join us on this development journey of School Simulator. Your bug reports, feedback, and suggestions are invaluable as we move forward, and your financial contribution allows us to budget effectively over the long term rather than relying solely on post-launch sales.
We are now just over a week into early access, with build #8 released earlier today, February 19th. Thanks to your feedback, we've been able to identify and fix numerous issues in this short time, as well as receive excellent suggestions for areas of improvement and expansion. In the next week or two, we aim to complete the necessary elements to open the next period in the simulation: homeroom. To achieve this, we will be focusing on the following:
1. Finishing A.I. logic and graphics for the remaining arrival activities that characters might engage in before heading to homeroom: Basketball, Gambling, Smoking, and XXX.
2. Adding collision detection for walking within rooms.
3. Improving and tweaking character selection and interaction during simulation.
4. Incorporating information for when players take control of an NPC (e.g., what the NPC was doing, where they were going) to allow players to follow the NPC's role if desired.
5. Adding functionality for the A.I. to easily resume control if a player releases a character.
6. General improvements and tweaks for character positioning, visual layers, etc.
I strongly recommend registering for the School Simulator BBS if you haven't already done so:

Always keep an eye out for new builds. They may be released rapidly at times, while at other times, it may be a weekly occurrence, depending on our development progress. For those who purchased early access but haven't updated their copy of the game to the latest build, please do so here: https://schoolsimulator.net/download.htm
Once again, thank you immensely for purchasing early access and supporting the development of School Simulator. If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to say hello, our email inbox is always open.
On behalf of the School Simulator Development Team at BLS,
-Hector Palaiologos
