Part one of 0.45 is ready and out. This is the technical part of the update, so it doesn't have a lot of events. Before we could do those, first we had to implement basic college functionality like getting to college and back, attending classes, etc.
The game does have introductions with college characters like classmates and teachers. Max's college has some crucial differences compared to Kate's college, so we recommend you read it carefully instead of skipping it, it's not just a repeat of the old information.
We've already rendered over 150 images for 0.45, so we're still working on the content part of the update. We'll release it as soon as possible. If you want, you can wait until we release the rest of 0.45 to play the whole thing at once.
Despite blowing our deadline, we will still try to release 0.46 in February. We're going to make a poll about 0.46 soon.
