How goes the Progress for Y2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

Phew, that's a hard question to answer- I don't know that I have access to a total. But the Academagia team is small, and not 100% dedicated, so it's a few each week.

[Schwarzbart]

Will we see more about the "ego" of the Venalicium and probably some other parts of Academagia in year 2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

It's a fair bet.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Has there been any determination about how many new professors will be in Y2? What about how many professors from Y1 will not be returning in Y2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Determination? Yes. Revealable? No.

The Y2 transfers are more balanced than Y1 power characters- they have some strengths, though.

Would I be correct in thinking that Y2's preset characters are completed? How many are they?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

No, they aren't, and there will be at least 5.

5? That seems like an odd number in this context. I would hope that at least one could be a student of Gates Magic. Would the Team be willing to share details about any of the 5?

 

And would the 5 preset options be further customizable during character creation (albeit only slightly)? And would they have summer vacation in Y2?

[Schwarzbart]

I suspect that for the Y2 templates we still can say what the Char had as class in addition to the required core class for the college. For this class we probably would get high skill level (max 10) and the bonus coming from 10 in Study. 

Wondering if the Legate is allowed to say how far my guess is off. ^^

[Legate of Mineta]

S;

Not allowed, alas.

They begin at the start of summer, the same as Y1 characters.

[Schwarzbart]

Ohh so this was changed because some time in the past you told us that only imported chars will play the summer break while new chars direct start at the 1st school day like we did in the 1st year.

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

Yep, it was thought that players might have more fun going through summer as well.

When was this change made?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Hmmm. I don't recall, actually.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Has it been determined how many transfer students for Y2 will be available as possible PCs?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Not the final number, no.

[Schwarzbart]

Is Sapiento also responsible for the maps of Academia in Y2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Schwarzbart;

We will be using some of the maps that he has revealed, yes. There are a few others, too.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Has it been determined how many maps there will be in Y2?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Yep, with the exception of the [Redacted] maps.

Which are how many in comparison to non-redacted maps?

[Legate of Mineta]

A handful; the main maps were all done years ago.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Will Y2 feature a wider range of images which are not maps? If so, have they been finalized?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Hmmm. Hmmmmmmmmmm. No, I wouldn't say much more so than Y1. Academagia isn't the most graphical game.

All that's complete, though.

For how long has it been completed?
