You feel the Earth move, the floor beneath you groans and rumbles as if alive. You are certain that something below shifted, but what, or who, caused it?

The Serial Killer has always felt like a less interesting version of the Cannibal. I'm reworking him with a focus on his need to kill.

• Notoriety resource has been replaced with Blood Lust.
  
• Begins the game with 5 Blood Lust, and loses 1 per night.
  
• If he ever reaches 0 Blood Lust he is removed from the game.
  
• Still strikes players with an unstoppable attack if he can predict who they are targeting.
  
• Now granted 1 Blood Lust for each successful kill.
  
• Now untargetable at night.

• No longer ignites two players.
  
• Now ignites one player, and their targets.
  
• No longer has permanent defence.
  
• Now only protected from fire.

• Now only invites 3 players to her Moon Party

New Features

• The coaching carousel is here! As the season progresses, coaches will lose favor with their athletic director, leading to termination. You can review your own performance in the athletic director’s eyes in the “Performance Review” screen.
  
• You can view open positions in the new “Available Jobs” screen. As coaches leave for greener pastures, watch their jobs open up as well, leading to a cascade effect that can shake up the entire landscape of college basketball!
  
• As this cascade effect happens, you can view all the changes in the staff changes log. This will track where coaches have been and where they are going.
  
• On the other end of the spectrum, when you succeed you can earn achievements (steam achievements integrated as well!). These achievements lead to achievement points, which you can then spend to upgrade your coach by purchasing coach skills!
