I'm thrilled to bring you the third development update for Law School – Episode 1. December was a
whirlwind month for me, filled with personal and professional milestones, including my birthday and
unexpected travels. Despite these, I've made significant headway on Law School's first episode,
especially in the last two weeks.


Currently, I'm crafting the final scenes of Episode 1. Excluding the additional content like roaming
events and mini-games planned for later development, only eight scenes remain. I've also been
preparing exclusive wallpapers and promotional images, as we edge closer to release. Plus, I've
completed all but one of the LEWD scenes, which is a huge milestone given their complexity and
animation frame count.


To date, I've created 35 scenes, amassing over 2100 story statics and more than 40 animations. While I
may not hit the 3000 story statics mark, the total will likely soar with the inclusion of images for minigames, roaming events, Facegram, and more. On the animation front, we might reach around 60
animations, slightly shy of the initial 80-target, unless time allows for additional creation.


My immediate focus is completing the story statics swiftly. The next development phase includes
creating and coding mini-game visuals, developing the free roam event, designing Facegram for
characters, optimizing the game's GUI, refining mechanics, and post-processing images and
animations. February will be a crucial month, culminating in the game's testing phase and an
anticipated early March release. Time management remains my primary challenge, along with
preparing a YouTube trailer and other promotional materials.


The main goal is to finalize the story statics quickly, paving the way for mini-games and the free roam
event. Following this, a “beta test version” will be prepared for immediate testing, allowing me to
work on the final test version concurrently. This approach aims to optimize time and reduce delays.


It's almost hard to believe we're nearing the release of the game. It's like we're approaching the summit
of a long climb – it seems both incredibly near and yet still a stretch away. I'm genuinely excited, as I
have full confidence in the fun and quality that Law School will offer. I'm looking forward to seeing
you all embark on this journey I've created and discovering which characters resonate with you the
most.

Back to the grind now – every day brings us closer to the release of the first episode of Law School!
Warm regards,

MisterMaya

Small texture optimisation fixes and FOV change thanks to the TheNamesJames2

Small patch to version 0.5.1

We didn't think we'd need it, but here's a quick Day 1 hotfix patch.

• Fixed a game-breaking error in a main story in camp (by the way: a dialogue option in that story is "I'm sorry. It won't happen again")
  
• Fixed soldier names in loading window showing the names of deceased soldiers (they should only show you active soldiers)
  
• Fixed a missing localisation in a story

All savegames should be compatible. But to make this a regular thing, we put the 0.5.0 version on the beta branches in Steam.

Bug Fixes:

• No longer remove full green pathing options when double-clicking on move origin.
  
• Defend result now properly displays as outcome text.
  
• Game Log no longer shows previous gained flex skill ranks when gaining a new flex skill rank.
  
• Fixed crash when moving 1st position out in a 2-person Initiative order.
  
• Fixed the clicking or ticking sound that sometimes occurs with some MacOS output devices.
  
• Fixed other misc. Video Chat bugs.

• increased viewing radius for toads

Unfortunately, after the games came to me, I realized that the games had serious flaws that could not be corrected. There is no point or desire to continue selling these games on Steam...
Therefore, they will no longer be sold after the final discount in 14 days. Starting February 1, games will no longer be sold, but you will still be able to activate them from your library, and they will remain with you forever.

The Old World test branch has been updated and is now version 1.0.70456 Test 01/17/2024

Design

• Tech tree changes:

  • Added Luxury bonus cards to the tech tree - on Forestry, Metaphysics, Coinage, Portcullis and Lateen Sail

• New map script Player islands. Each nation gets their own island, with optional empty islands.
  
• New map script Highlands. Inland map with lots of mountain ranges and elevated terrain.
  
• Inland Sea map script reworked. Now has more variation and should be more Mediterranean-like.
  
• Player start adjustment to try to avoid being placed in a small area surrounded by impassable terrain
  
• Free-for-all multiplayer game player start improvements:

• New game option Random Tech Tree. Shuffles the position of each tech within its column.

Programming

• Increased the minimum target unit number for the AI, to deal with military threats when it has few cities

• AI no longer places value on bonus units if no such units are needed (e.g. free Settler with no vacant city sites)
  
• AI now knows about effectPlayer YieldUpkeepModifier, TeamDiplomacyYields and TribeDiplomacyYields
  
• When at war with a tribe with multiple known settlements, Settlers are planned for one site at a time, not all at once
  
• Quick Infos XML validation optimization. Eliminates most memory allocations
  
• Added support for having the same character in multiple dynasties

UI

• Temporary traits now display time remaining in parentheses
  
• Added tooltip about the loss/gain of tribute yields by declaring war on a tribe
  
• Added Tribal Strength game setup option help text for empty city sites

• Added Greek dynasty leader bios
  
• Updated character suffix localization code and added support for Chinese numerals
  
• Tech selection UI is now updated immediately when available techs change
  
• Disabled history generator for multiplayer games
  
• Custom Leader Archetype shown on Choose Leader screen when selected
  
• In network games the client no longer exits to main menu immediately upon disconnection but instead tries to automatically reconnect

Bugs Fixed
