Two Point Campus News

Hey Pointians!

We've got another patch for you today, bringing an exciting quality-of-life change that's been heavily requested, alongside troublesome bug fixes and a load of optimisations.

As you may have noticed, we've been releasing monthly item packs for free for all players, so make sure to check those out too (:

[h2]Release Notes[/h2]
[h3]Build Number: 10.2.144722[/h3]
[h3]New:[/h3]

• Community request: players can now dismiss the Challenge Reward popup to view their campus after completing a challenge
  
• Prepatch for future new item releases.

[h3]Bug Fixes:[/h3]

• Fixed an issue where the gamepad cursor can offset when adjusting filters in Student or Staff menu.
  
• Fixed issue where Plot 6, 10, and 15 are not able to have expulsion ceremonies on sandbox mode.
  
• Fixed issue where Lecture theatres ignored permissions during summer.

[h3]Optimisations:[/h3]

• Enabled render jobs - moves lots of render work off the main thread.
  
• Enabled GPU skinning - moves more render work to the GPU.
  
• Put together, render jobs and GPU skinning save 10-20% of frame time (so roughly a 10-25% boost in FPS).
  
• Tweaks to many items to more consistently LOD them out when small on-screen.
  
• Tweaks to many VFX to remove needless use of transparency, which reduces time spent rendering.
  
• Fix wall shader not batching well with others - results in faster rendering of walls.
  
• Huge pass over texture sizes and settings - lower memory usage on all platforms, but particularly Switch and PS4, which should make them much more stable.
  
• Fixes to room templates to prevent hanging when opening the templates menu.

Any issues please let us know by posting over on our bug forums, take care!

Hey Pointians, we need your help! As expert Campus Administrators, you’ll take on some “creative” budgetary decisions in our latest challenge mode.

At Destitute Institute, you’ll develop a cash-strapped university from an abandoned plot, creating a prospectus-perfect campus for your cohort.

We’re not quite sure how the County keeps ending up in these tricky scenarios, and not to point fingers, but it might be down to the County’s Education Minister! It turns out Tarquin Foxbridge (allegedly) hates doing the budget. To be fair to him, there’s a lot on his plate, so you can see why someone might make a mistake right? This, however, is a bad one.

There’s a campus that’s been allocated… nothing at all.



So, make things work without any starting funds, and prove that Tarquin’s budget wasn’t “wrong”, just innovative. To make do(ugh), thankfully, the previous tenants didn’t do a very good job at clearing up after themselves. Have a poke around the place and see if you can sell some of their old construction junk!

From there, the budgeting gymnastics is down to you and your expertise. Maybe the Orb Foundation could lend a hand, or there’s always the opportunity of wrangling some funds from a course or two. We’re confident we’ve got the right administrator for the job, so turn this dusty patch of land into the latest student experience dream, by transforming it into a Level 10 Campus! To grab the Gold you’ll first need to strategise, as Tarquin is strapped for time (as well as cash!), so make sure to get your priorities in order before you start allocating your limited cash.



This month marks the spooky anniversary of our School Spirits DLC for Two Point Campus! To celebrate, why not jazz up your campus builds with a tribute to nighttime’s favourite ne’er-do-well? The Jacques O’Phantom statue is a surefire way to introduce an eery chill to the place.



Wander off on your own to check out that noise in the basement with this (potentially) haunted item set, whether you decorate your campus with the terrifying Ghost Mirror and take a long hard look at yourself... if you dare! Or have your students pass out costumes on campus with the Coffin Closet, an entire death's worth of fancy dress

Hey Pointians!

Love is in the air with our latest update:
