Morning everyone,

We're here with another quick update for you all, including some bug fixes:

[h3]Release Notes[/h3]
Build Number: 10.1.138699

• [Steam Deck] Fixed an issue where the player could not log into Mod.io.
  
• Fixed a crash with Mod.io on the collections screen.
  
• Fixed an issue where players sometimes could not load their save in Spiffinmoore.

That's all friends, please let us know if you run into any trouble!

G‘day mate! Not every Pointion is hiding behind the sofa whilst Krampus skulks around, no! For some, summer is only just getting started, and for the few unsuccessful students, it’s time to catch up or drop out.

Albert Crank has taken a holiday away from his holiday to ask for your expertise in setting up Two Point County's very first Summer School!

Will you take on this brand new Challenge Mode?


Whilst the rest of their academic cohort is taking a well-earned study break, the same can't be said for the unlucky bunch setting off for the county's very first summer school. Doomed (and gloomed) to be held back a year, you'll be working hard to get these students back on track while keeping spirits high.

Your students have a small case of FOMO, as they watch their Grade A peers sit back and relax, so it’s best to keep them happy and entertained! You’ll have a hard time of it though, as the Ministry of Misery is determined to remind these students that they are, in fact, here as 'punishment' for their lacking grades.

Make sure you’ve enough facilities as students from all walks of academia are registering for Summer School. By making sure to run parties, and, alongside a helping hand from Albert Crank, you have Sunshine Bombs at your disposal, to give your students a lovely Sun-Kissed buff, that way you'll have them getting straight As all whilst they enjoy some forced fun.

[h2]New Modding Feature: Walls & Floors![/h2]
The latest modding project is out now, accompanied by an ever-useful how-to guide to show you how to make your very own custom walls & floors. Check out the guide here, and join our Discord to chat with other modders!

[h2]Challenge Mode Trophies[/h2]

Must get... all... the shinies!

[h2]Student Cap Increase[/h2]

It's been heavily requested by you folks, you can now toggle the student & staff cap in-game to build the biggest MEGA campus ever! Check out the in-game settings for this toggle.



[h2]Winter Theme[/h2]

Students, this is your annual friendly reminder to NOT feed the reindeer, Cheesy Gubbins. And no, they don't eat homework either!



A frosty spell has hit Two Point County, time to wrap up warm, dust off your festive decor and get ready to deck halls, and lavish faculty and friends alike in festive gifts because the Winter update is here! From today, you can expect a whole host of yuletide treats. Oh and one final thing, please remind students that class is still in session... brain freeze is no excuse!

If you'd prefer your campus with its foliage green, there's an option for you! Head to the settings menu and scroll down to find the Seasonal Content toggle to control the seasons (didn't realise you trained in Dark Arts?!).

[h2]Need a refresher on the game? We've got you covered...[/h2]

[h3]Build your university, your way![/h3]
It’s time to spin academia on its head! Got a yearning for learning? Or just keen to build an educational masterpiece? Campus is jam-packed with new creative tools to help you build the university of your dreams.


For the first time, build in the great outdoors as you develop your own delightfully educational campus environment, housing the top teaching facilities in the land. Whether you prefer building on simple foundations or placing every tree, you can build the university you want.

Lay down pathways with new easy-to-use tools. Plant glorious collections of outdoor flora. Place benches, fountains, sculptures, hedgerows – even picket fences. The only limit is your imagination (and your in-game bank balance).

[h3]Not the usual fare...[/h3]
But, of course, it wouldn’t be a Two Point game without a twist.

Rather than typical academic fare, students in Two Point County enjoy a range of wild and wonderful courses: from Knight School (hey, we all have to learn jousting at some point in our lives), to the salivatory Gastronomy, where your students will build mouth-watering concoctions like giant pizzas and enormous pies.


[h3]The academic year… is here![/h3]
Take advantage of the opportunity to spend way more time with the little people in your university. The academic year begins with a summer break, giving you enough time to get everything looking great before your students move in.

Build libraries, hire the best staff (from eccentric professors to madcap researchers), kit your campus out with the best courses and watch the academic potential of your students get unlocked!

[h3]Shaping the future[/h3]
But it’s not just working hard. Get to know your students, and explore their individual personalities, wants and needs. Keep them happy with clubs, societies, and gigs.


Surround them with friends, help them develop relationships, furnish them with pastoral care and ensure they have the right amount of joie de vivre to develop into incredible individuals who will make the legacy of your university proud.

Thanks for checking out our games, it means a lot!
