Would you be willing to share with us a portion of this system of benchmarks? Such as "when feature X is complete, then we will disclose feature Y to the public"?

Legate of Mineta Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Rhi; The Team hasn't said, so I better not. But as always, I'll carry your words back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freespace2dotcom Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Since we know main writing is done.. (barring continuous editing) And we know that Y2 has existed in a playable state for years, now. I am suspecting that most of the remaining work revolves around making sure all the massive tables of information reference each other properly. And possibly optimizing said tables since they are the heart of the game and it would be just a bit annoying to have to wait for all those obscene files to load. There's bound to be other things, but that would take the longest for a small team to accomplish. Especially a small team working on it as a hobby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwarzbart Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 Years back there where the talk of some people who want to merged Y1 & Y2 and that make me wonder: How feasible would a Y1 & Y2 combo mod using the Y2 mod tools? I kind of suspect anyone who try to do something like this might hit some limits of the DB or base engine because of the size. (Not to talk about licence issue and that such a project without some automation probably take years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 S; Hmmm. I don't think the db would necessarily be the issue, but Y1 and Y2 engines would have to be 'taught' to know what data/rules to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schwarzbart Posted January 21, 2021 Report Share Posted January 21, 2021 I personal think the biggest problem for a combined Y1 & 2 mod, if there is no issue on the size, is probably to switch the class between Y1 and Y2 for all students. For the general rules one probably could settle with the ones used in Y2 because they should allow to start skills at zero as well. Also I think any problems with the start date / end date function probably means the end of such a project as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2021 @Legate of Mineta: Has the team considered sharing a list of all courses which were seriously considered for Y2 with a disclaimer that the list is not final?

RespectTheInternet Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Hoof, color me surprised. Decided to check back in and suddenly I see the forums being swamped by Ship Girls! Glad to see that Academagia still exists somewhat. So the writing is finished, and the game exists but only in a quantum sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Schrodinger's Academagia? Never fear: it exists, progresses steadily, but also slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhialto Posted January 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 @Legate of Mineta: Did something major happen with Academagia's development, so that the team was willing to disclose to us where Sima Venesico claims to live?

Schwarzbart Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Are there planed student drop outs or new joining, beside the player, for the initial Y2 release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 S; There's a set of Students who *could* join Y2, but I can't reveal them. They may be familiar though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metis Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Is them joining or not dependant on PC actions in Y1, assuming a save is imported ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Metis; I can generally say it's a choice to have them, not necessarily anything in Y1. *But* it's not at all final, so it's possible Y1 flags will be used.

Schwarzbart Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Will Pamela have a special handling in Y2 if the player who finished her questline in Y1 switched to a different familiar afterward? (I suspect unless the adventures finished she is gone to the light if the player switch the familiar) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legate of Mineta Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 If you finished her Adventure you'll see in her in Y2- I don't know how things will be handled, though, if you switched her. Maybe you'll only see your current Familiar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
