“The world that HP Lovecraft created is vast, and filled with places and people and creatures of all kinds! From the ruins of the Forgotten City to the Plateau of Leng, and even outward into the frozen darkness of Yuggoth and Beyond The Wall Of Sleep.

With so many locations, monsters, items and artifacts, it is not feasible for us to include it all in version 1 of the game. But also, we want community feedback, telling us what they like and what they don't, and helping to guide the game's development.”

이 게임의 앞서 해보기 기간은 얼마인가요?

“Content will continue to be added as long as the game has an active playerbase asking for more. But in terms of planned content, it should take us until at-least Q3 2024.”

정식 버전은 앞서 해보기 버전과 어떻게 달라지나요?

“NEW DEPARTMENTS
Use the Engineering Department to create new machines, like a Pabodie drill to crack through solid rock beneath Antarctica, or a radio tower to get word of strange events from around the world.
Use the History Department to trace down the origins of ancient books and charms to their origins.
All Departments will have classes for those departments, and new rooms!

MORE LOCATIONS!
Obviously we don't want to tell you which ones we have planned (finding them is half the fun!) But of-course, new locations means new items and artifacts to study, and more knowledge to unloick!

MORE ENEMIES
More Locations also means new enemies.”

“Miskatonic University is playable!

Systems that are working:
(NOTE: Miskatonic University is an evolving game and some of these features may be revisited / updated)

• Players can run Miskatonic University! Build new rooms, or demolish them. Rooms have different requirements and will function well if their needs are satisfied.
  
• 17 different room types can be placed, from student life (dorms, cafeteria) to academics (lecture hall, bio lab), to utility (electrical room, boiler room)
  
• Hire and fire staff, plan curriculum, and accept new students!
  
• Students and staff alike go through their day, attending classes and performing tasks while managing their needs during downtime.
  [*} Players can direct Professors to work on Research Projects and unlock new technologies and expeditions.
  
• Students gain XP and their skills level-up. Student level influences their effectiveness on research and expeditions.
  
• 4 unlockable sites around the world for "expeditions" to collect Eldritch Artifacts!
  
• Currently supported Majors: Art (Painting), Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Pharmacology, Paleontology, and Archeology.
  
• SOME Eldritch artifacts can be recovered and studied ;)

Systems that are WIP or Planned:

• Character diversity: More heads, hairstyles, clothing and skin tones.
  
• Some character effects are not implemented yet, such as Sanity and Hygiene.
  
• Character AI improvements to prioritize emergency needs.
  
• Character "Quirks"
  
• 13 additional rooms (many more will be added, particularly in the variety of Academic Rooms as more majors are added!)
  
• MANY more expedition locations!
  
• MUCH larger tech tree!
  
• Story events!
  
• "Missions" (time-based non-critical quests that provide unique bonuses)
  
• Plans for additional Majors: Sculpture, Structural Engineering, Anthropology, Material Science, Chemistry, Physics, Psychology, Surgery, and Astronomy. (We have ideas for additional Majors, but want to gauge interest.)
  
• MANY more eldritch artifacts!

앞서 해보기 동안과 앞서 해보기 이후의 게임 가격이 다르게 매겨지나요?

“Early adopters help us to build a better game, and as a massive THANK YOU to all of you who put your faith in us to build the best Miskatonic University management simulator that we can, you will receive the game at a discounted rate.

As new features are added, we plan to raise the rate gradually.”

개발 과정에 어떻게 커뮤니티를 참여시킬 계획이신가요?

“With so many fascinating places to explore, so many abominable artifacts to discover, so many creatures to capture and study, so many unspeakable threats to overcome... we will need the help of the community to direct us. TELL US WHAT YOU WANT US TO BUILD, and guide our production to making the Miskatonic University management game that you want to play! (Core Lovecraft only, please. Expanded mythos are not necessarily in the public domain).
