Two Point Campus News

Strange things are afoot in Two Point County... make sure to check under dormitory beds, as students start acting like complete pumpkin heads; because the spooky season is here! Over the next week, you can expect a whole cornucopia of eerie goings-on, whether it's music designed to send a shiver down your spine, or a whole heap of pumpkins, we've got the update for you to really bring a gourd-geous look to your campus!

Now, what's Halloween without both tricks and treats? Alongside a whole cauldron of refreshed in-game items, we need your help with some troublesome tricks as you delve into our new Challenge Mode. So, let's get startled!

[h3]Challenge Mode[/h3]

Delve into our new devilish challenges to cement your high score on the leaderboard. There are two challenges to get your fangs stuck into:

• The Siege of Noblestead - a groaning mob is amassing on campus (and no, it's not the morning after a party!). Lord Blaggard is in no mood for an undead horde, can you keep them at bay?
  
• Pumpkin High - orange you glad you enrolled? Nefaria Munch has transfigured your students into her Pumpkin Headed minions, and they really need help carving out study time...
  

[h3]Student Customisation & New Items[/h3]

We have three spooktakular new outfits available for staff and students, where wolf we be without the odd distraction in the academic calendar?



Make sure your classrooms aren't feeling left out from the fancy dress party, deck them out with our new eerie items, designed to set the perfect haunting mood. The whole County is getting into the spirit, so keep an eye out for all the in-game changes with this Halloween refresh (or rather de-fresh, where did all these cobwebs come from?!).

  • All organic ominous orange pumpkin planters

  • Mysterious metamap
    
  • Gastronomy has been spirited away...
    
  • There are 199 steps to climb the Knights tower, be careful you don't get tangled!

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

Need a refresher on the game? We've got you covered...

Build your university, your way!
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).

Not the usual fare...
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.

The academic year… is here!

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!

Shaping the future
But it’s not just work hard. Get to know your students, explore their individual personalities, wants and needs. Keep them happy with clubs, societies, 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 do the legacy of your university proud.

Hi Everyone,

We've just released a small update to 1.5.

Release Notes

• Fixed a bug where assignments mention that a "Plot" is required for the Knights Tower when running Knight School.
  
• Stability improvements to try and prevent out of memory crashes
  

Build Number: 1.5.112431

We're working hard to fix bugs and improve the game - please let us know if you have any issues!

Hi everyone,

With the release of 1.5 yesterday, some players were unable to boot the game properly (really sorry about that!). We've just put a small hotfix live to fix this issue, so you should be able to load in as expected now.

[h2]Release Notes[/h2]

• Fixed an issue where some players could not load the game.

Please note - any players who experienced this issue will need to reset their keybindings when they boot the game (this does not apply to players who did not experience the problem). Apologies for the inconvenience here, we understand it's frustrating when you've got custom key binds.

Once again, apologies to those of you who experienced the issue. If anyone comes across any other bugs, please be sure to let us know in the Bugs section of the forum.

Hi everyone,

A brand new update is coming to Two Point Campus with lots of bug fixes, changes, and some FREE items! This is an exciting one for us as it's our first update with some cool new stuff that we hope you'll all really like (as well as bug fixes of course - we all like those!)

We're sure you're eager to hear all about what's coming in update 1.5, so let's dive right in.

[h3]New Items[/h3]
While the code team have been busy fixing bugs, our art team have been busy making some lovely new items for you to enjoy!

First up... TINY RADIATORS AND SUCH. We heard you were missing the small radiators and air-con units from Two Point Hospital, so we added some similar items for Campus. These are really useful for those of you wanting to min/max your rooms efficiently.



Next up... a new relationship AND entertainment item! There's nothing quite like going on a see-saw ride with the person you love the most, right?



For those preferring to entertain themselves, how about a personal mini-golf course. It's like a "personal pizza" but you can't eat it.



[h3]New Creative Items[/h3]
Hedges and Fences were already a great way to pretty-up your campus, but now with these new additions your building skills are going to go from here... to HERE (yes... you're right, that phrase doesn't work when you don't have hand gestures to go with them... but you get the idea).



How about some new paths? Ohhhh yeaaahhh! We've added two new pathing tools to our smartbrushes AND we've made some improvements in general to make the existing ones look even better!



[h3]Job Assignment Menu[/h3]
Possibly the most requested feature so far has been the Job Assignment screen, where you can select which areas of work each member of staff can focus on. So we're very excited to announce its arrival in Update 1.5!



That's not everything either! We've got a whole host of bug fixes for you too, so be sure to check out the release notes below for all the info:
