Kindergarten News

Almost done. We should be good to launch Friday or Monday. The next update should be the last and will focus on cleaning up the last of the bugs as well as having proper reactions for failed missions.

This update includes some possible fixes for 2 bugs that have been around for awhile. The first is the freezing bug where the options vanish but the dialogue doesn't and leaves the player frozen until they restart. The second is the janitor searching the cafeteria even though you didn't unscrew the shelf. If either of these things still happens let me know and I'll go back to the drawing board on it.

0.95
-Possible fix to random dialogue freezing. If you still experience it, please let me know!
-Added show and tell for complete Monstermon collection.
-Possible fix for Janitor starting in cafeteria when player didn't unscrew shelf.
-Possible fix for one room loading on top of another if resetting room after using all apples.
-Fix not being able to unlock more than 5 Monstermon cards in one day.
-Fix Buggs not taking cigarettes in school yard.
-Fix some Lily dialogue not showing up in the principal's office.
-Fix Janitor skipping to vegan dialogue if you say "no thanks" after asking about biscuit balls.
-Fix being able to skip using an apple when talking to janitor in bathroom.
-Fix poison nugget not being used when giving Buggs the donut.
-Fix device not going off if you have an extra one while talking to Nugget during recess.
-Fix bell ringing during Janitor's dialogue after eliminating Monty using your last apple at lunch.
-Fixed Monstermon hint 26 and 27 to not say full release anymore.
-Spelling and grammar fixes

If you have all the Monstermon cards you should have a new item in the middle of your bedroom. Good luck with figuring out what to do with it!

So anyone who has asked this question and received a response is probably thinking the full release is coming today. I'm sorry to say that it isn't. The work I was planning on getting done this weekend was eaten up entirely by the antivirus bug. I'm pushing the release date back another week hopefully for the last time.

However...

I know a lot of you have been waiting for the final ending that I've been teasing for when you get all the Monstermon cards. I feel like you have all waited too long and while I was planning on saving it for the full release, I'm going to be releasing it either today or tomorrow depending on how testing goes.

As for what you can expect in the coming days besides the full ending you can expect...

-A title screen.
-An extra save file for you replay enthusiasts and speed runners.
-More bug fixes (keep posting them in the discussions, they help me more than anything.)


Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Have a good day at school.

To all Kindergarten players,

What an awful couple days it's been for updates. The black screen bug has been wrecking havoc on everyone with a virus scanner. I'm happy to announce that it has been fixed. The file that was causing the false flag was identified and updated and should no longer cause any problems. If your version number 0.93.1, you should be fine.

On top of that, the update that fixed the black screen bug also made it appear that everyone's data was erased. This was an oversight on my part and has since been corrected.

Everyone's data is fine with the exception of one group of people who I owe a huge apology to. Everyone who started playing the game for the first time during the period immediately following the 0.93.1 patch will not have their data properly saved until they restart the game. This only occurred if you started playing for the very first time within 15 minutes 0.93.1 being launched. If you are affected by this, I am truly sorry. It was a negligent mistake and will not happen again.

Thanks to everyone who helped me identify these problems and thanks to all who have shared kind words about the game. I couldn't ask for a better community.

If you are having problems playing the game, I apologize. The latest update did not go as smoothly as I had hoped. It appears one of the changes made in the patch has caused the game to be flagged in various antivirus programs such as Webroot and Norton. I assure you that the game does not contain any malicious files and that these are false flags. I will be reaching out to these antivirus companies to get Kindergarten whitelisted before the full release.

In the mean time, if you are experiencing a bug where you start the game and you can't see the character and all the items are unlocked when they shouldn't be...

1. Disable your antivirus.
2. Uninstall and reinstall Kindergarten.
3. Run Kindergarten to make sure it worked.
4. Turn your antivirus back on.

It would also be very helpful to me if you could let me know which antivirus program you are using so I can get whitelisted on as many programs as possible.

If your game still doesn't work, please post on the discussion board or email me at [email protected].

Thanks for your understanding and patience.
