We are pleased to announce the development of School Simulator. (Formerly known as 'School Builder'.)

What is School Simulator?
School Simulator, as the name implies, is school simulator game. In our Discipline Master games players took direct control of individual characters in a storyline that would take place over the course of a few days or less, featuring interactions with a few dozen supporting characters. School Simulator aims simulate the day to day functions of a school with hundreds or even thousands of characters, where smaller, disparate systems end up interacting at the larger scale - of course with an emphasis on corporal punishment and discipline. Players can simply watch the simulation play out as they designed it or take part in it in various roles.

More information:

Q: When will it be released?
A: Tentative launch window is mid-February through mid-March 2025.

Q: Will there be early access?
A: We are targeting early to mid February 2025 for pre-orders and early access.

Q: How much will it cost?
A: $39.95 USD

Q: What platforms?
A: Windows, Mac and Linux. We are planning an Android port for mobile phones and tablets, though this might not come until post-release.

Q: What languages?
A: English, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Spanish and Vietnamese

Q: Will the game be only M/M?
A: The game will be M/M only at launch, but we'd like to offer girls as well as female staff at some point in the future.

Q: Will there be another traditional game D.M. launching before School Simulator?
A: No. Graduation is intended to be the final game in the traditional series for the foreseeable future. Our full development attention and power is on School Builder.

Will this game include the technology that was planned for DM online, to interact with other players? I really would like that!

It's something we'd consider, though I'm honestly not sure how exactly it would work from a gameplay perspective. Co-op mode perhaps (two people designing one school), or competing schools?

may be you can let players design students/teachers/ other characters and send to other people.

Same for maps, can let players download other people's school map/design.

However these probably can be done through the forum, not real multiplayer.

Very sad to see that this is now anticipated in 2025!! I am really lookign fwd to this one and think it was a mistake slotting Graduation into the original slot for this one moving it down the queue. Hope it does nto get shelevd as I love this conecept, it does rather seem to have gotten forgotten about though - shame

Is this game still in development? It's been awhile since the last news. I'm really excited for it.

Yes, it is. There isn't much to show visually at the moment, as most development is concentrating on the underlying engine/simulation functionality. To give you an example I've been working most recently on zoom in/zoom out functionality with placeholder graphics (literally colored boxes with a text of what they are).
