Hello everyone!

As of this moment, the 0.03a update is available for everyone to play! You can check the entire update post here.

WARNING: Starting from the current 0.03a update, you'll HAVE to start a new game, otherwise things WILL break.

Now that this part of the game is done, work has already begun on our next step towards the following 0.04a version, so let me talk a little about it.

Weekend Events:

    The previous update ends when we reach the end of Friday on the first week at the Academy, which means that the next installment will go into the weekend. And this will be a slightly different gameplay loop than what we have on our weekdays at the Academy. It won't be anything too complex, only a way for us to have events outside the Academy and with characters that we choose from those that will be available. It'll also be a good opportunity to see the characters in a more casual setting, with different clothing and also with things that aren't necessarily related to the Academy itself.

    Originally, since these weekend events aren't meant to be something big, they were supposed to be a part of the 0.03a update, but as that game version was already taking way too long, I decided it was best to keep them for later.

Management Options:

    I'll also be working on adding the proper management options to the 0.04a update, such as a better way of choosing how the Academy will function throughout the day, with some minor filler events to make the day feel fuller and more interesting, as well as some random variance in how and when these events play out.

Students Interaction:

    Also, one of the major features of the game needs to be done as well, which is the Student Interaction, in that it'll be a way to deal with students that have bad grades or strikes on their records, and exchange 'favors' so that these issues are dealt with.

(Maybe) Important Events:

    After all of this is said and done, then I'll give some attention to the Important Events, which are basically all of the relevant events when it comes to the game's story and character development, basically everything that the game had up until this moment were the Important Events.

    I have already mapped out what there'll be in these events, as well as how they'll play out and affect the story, but if these make the cut into the 0.04a update, then, summed with everything that I said before, might make the update way too big and take a longer time to make.

And I think that's all there is to say at this point about how the upcoming plans are looking. I'm happy to answer any questions or feedback you might have, and if you haven't played the 0.03a update already, I hope you enjoy it!
