A few in game questions

1) Will year 2 require a 64 bit OS? I ask because according to a recent update of one of my backed projects at KS: "The latest Steam Hardware Survey shows that over 97% of gamers now use a 64 bit operating system" but that also means some people will not be able to play it. Still I think its a must step for a memory hungry game like Academagia as 32 bit OS can not even full address 4GB of Memory (depending on other hardware it can become even less then 2 GB) .

Anyway the question above still stay as some tools and libraries that are used to make games offer a 64 bit version now that is compatible to the 32 bit one.

An interesting question- I don’t believe it will require it. But it will be better, I think.

[Schwarzbart]

1) Are there woodlands with hunting prey near each of the different non Mineta home?

 

[Rhialto]

2. Are there any tales of mages who used gates magic to engage in cloning of humans or animals?

3. Would I be right in thinking that Godina College is the most financially precarious? that college has to maintain a music program, an athletics program, and a rimbal team, and incantation not does not seem as profitable as negation or revision (for healing), Enchantment (for making artifacts) or even glamour (for art).

[Schwarzbart]

4) Can items prevented from be sold or given away in year 2?

[Legate of Mineta]

S;

1) No, not all.

2) [Redacted]. Tsk.

3) If they do have such troubles, it's not readily visible.

4) I don't think they can be prevented (you mean like an Item lock?) You can give them away.

The music department recently made part of a new music room out of solid gold, and according to one RE the Rimbal players sleep on beds made out of money, so I'm not sure if I'd call Godina the least well off financially.

[Rhialto]

1. Is hazing a phenomenon on rimbal teams? if so, is it tolerated?

2. Are rimbal players ever asked to endorse products? Can they earn much money as professional players?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

1) Hazing and initiations are a part of any club, and are certainly tolerated...within extreme limits.

2) Certainly yes, but only at a local level.

[Metis]

Anything noteworthy that one of the Academagia's Rimbal players are endorsing?

[Legate of Mineta]

Haha! That is a fun question.

[Rhialto]

1. Roughly how many pims does it cost to study for a year at Academagia? Leaving out costs of uniforms, getting to Mineta, books, etc.?

2. Are female students permitted to wear trousers during their day-to-day activities, or can they be warn only for athletics, or not at all?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

1) I don't think a firm price has been set. It's certainly very, very high.

2) Certainly...if it's part of their uniform.

[Rhialto]

So, does this mean that some female students wear trousers and others not? When and how is it determined whether a female student's uniform has trousers?

[Schwarzbart]

2) What Colleges have 2 or even more different set of uniforms that a student can chose for depending on the weather?

3) Do the automatic starting event / adventure allow for a event that start only when the player have started an adventure chain but somehow "misplaced" the items that are important for this adventure?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

1) Primarily by tradition, but sometimes the Regents will introduce new dress codes. Rarely, however.

S;

2) Usually there is only one- Students are expected to use magic to deal with everything else.

3) Hmmm. I believe it could, yes.

[Schwarzbart]

1) Do the year 2 adventure / event have a function that go to different result depending on the degree of success?

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

No, it's still binary, unfortunately.

[Rhialto]

1. How common are puppet shows as entertainment? Are they only associated with the Dance of Fools, or with religious holidays, or can they be secular?

2. Would I be correct in thinking that Avila is the only college that explicitly prohibits female students from wearing trousers? Or would Aranaz and Hedi do that also? The other colleges I cannot see as outright prohibiting trousers, but maybe I am wrong.

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

1) Very common, and they are definitely secular as well as religious.

2) It just depends on the uniform, but Avila does have some...unique regulations.

[Rhialto]

What are some of Avila's unique regulations? I remember that their male students are required to wear hose, but cannot think of others.

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

For that, I must refer you to the Lores...;)

[Metis]

So I recall something about Piety being useful to resist the effects of dragon blood poisoning...what if you were a pious follower of, oh I don't know, a dragon, rather than the New Gods? Would that still work?

And just out of curiosity, how heretical would it be to suggest that the above is true , regardless of whether or not it is?

[Legate of Mineta]

M;

Extremely heretical. So heretical that the answer is, of course, [Redacted].

[Metis]

Almost forgot: Does Y2 distinguish between getting KOd at -1 Vitality and -40 Vitality, in terms of skipping a day/getting some sort of "recovering from injury" penalties/something?
