Mouse over.

 

I suggest being able to get hints on mouse-overs, especially in the Calendar.

 

It's frustrating not being able to see what exam your having.

It would be alot more fun, if you could "prepare", through spells and abilites if you knew what exam you were preparing for.

 

Also I suggest to show your current "Friendship-level" When you have an option to pick on to improve friendship with.(Through "Encourage fellow Student" or "Gossip" or "Review Homework)

[Schwarzbart]

Not sure if it is a good idea but I think a ingame blackboard where the player could find i.e. the dates of the exam, some adventures and so on could be something interesting to add for the next years.

[Legate of Mineta]

S;

Certainly immersive! There is a way to get that info in Y2, but a blackboard is a great idea.

I earlier suggested that the schedule, instead of simply saying "Exam", could say "[Subject's name] Exam". Is that an improvement for Y2 that we will see?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Yep!

Has it been implemented already?

[Legate of Mineta]

Also yep!

@Legate of Mineta: I really hope that Sera Qorro (if I recall the spelling correctly) - the judge who allows students during Y1 to work in her court - can have a role in at least 1 story. It is so rare to encounter a sympathetically portrayed lawyer in fiction.

[Legate of Mineta]

I'll let'em know!

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Are there plans to have Cante Caviti interested in Pelia in any Way? I mean, he is interested in Alchemy, and she is a genuine alchemist.

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

That, alas, is [Redacted].

if Pelia join the same year as the player or if Cante is in the clique of the character that helped Pelia then there might interactions between them. But if Pelia end in a different year then the player, as told by the Legate already, interactions between students of the same year as the player and Pelia will be extrem limited especial if they are not from Morvidus.

So IMHO there are to many ifs to write a big player made adventure about. I also think for Cate specific the chance that he get under the wings of year 4 or even year 5 Vernin student with focus on Alchemy then that he come into contact with the suspected year 3 Pelia (Morivdus and Vernin are rivals after all)

But random events reveal that Cante is willing to purchase dubious potions from people claiming to be alchemists, so I can easily imagine his actively seeking out Pelia, a genuine alchemist, regardless of their difference in years. But I would not dare to write such content because I have no idea how Pelia would react, how far Cante would go in such efforts, and whether the interactions should be incorporated into the Vernin-Morvidus rivalry. I am glad, though, that the Team apparently has plans.

@Legate of Mineta: Are there any plans for introducing more spells to allow characters to train themselves?

[Legate of Mineta]

You mean, Students?

Yes, in a way.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Are there any thoughts about selling a guide to Y2, rather like Spiderweb Games does with their games?

[Legate of Mineta]

Rhi;

Oh boy. I don't think so. Since our games are more a simulator, it would be difficult. It is possible of course to create a guide to the Adventures & Events, but... the magic there is discovery, so...

[Metis]

That and the fact that the market for strategy guides kinda had the rug pulled from under it when this thing called "internet" started to gain traction. You may have heard of it

[Schwarzbart]

Didn't we get a mini "Strategy" guide in the form of an Ingame letter during the 1st day? Sure after 1.0 it became kind of useless because train was only useful while places gave permanent increased to your skills instead of temporary one as it is now.

@Legate of Mineta: Was the exceptionally pious nature-loving student emulating clergy of a goddess given the name Eliana as a deliberate reference to the Eliyanas - Lykian nature spirits (nymphs, basically) dedicated to a goddess? This is an obscure reference, but when I readed about the Eliyanas and their role, Eliana Carosi leaped into my mind - especially once I learned that some people spell Eliana as "Eliyana".

[Legate of Mineta]

Alas, no comment.

[Rhialto]

@Legate of Mineta: Are there any plans to introduce actual pen-and-paper-role-playing games into the setting of Academagia? Such things could be done with the setting's technology, and would fit with the other aspects of popular culture in the setting.

Rhi;

You mean, an in-game p&p game? I don't think I can comment.

Yes; nothing interactive, you understand - just references to people playing such games (with perhaps an option to gain skills for a character by having the cvharacter play them). Can you now answer?
