Development Update 48
Hey guys,
I have some exciting news to share with everyone. I mentioned in my last development update that I was planning to make a short special as a way to present our latest Patreon poll. I’ve been working on it in the background for a little while now and I am pleased to report that it's nearly finished. We will be releasing it as a standalone game at some point in the next couple of weeks. It'll be somewhere around the size of our previous Halloween and Christmas specials and, just like those, I will eventually be including it as an unlockable event in the main game.
Join Paul Mykock and his staff for afternoon tea at his country estate
In this special you will take control of one of the school's owners as an unseen protagonist. It's set directly after Maxine's fundraiser and you'll get to hear about those events from the school's owners' perspective. Like a lot of my best work, it's both serious and silly in equal measure. I think you guys are going to really enjoy it. Towards the end, Mr Mykock's personal assistant, Reilly, will be asking some questions about the school's uniform and underwear policies. Every question in the game will be a question in our upcoming Patreon poll. In the interest of fairness, I will be releasing the special to all patrons. However, only those in the teacher ($10) and above tiers will actually be able to participate in the real world vote.

Even if you can't vote, I still recommend playing to learn more about the school's owners. I plan for the headmaster to visit Mykock's estate at the end of the chapter and I always imagined him to be surrounded by scantily-clad maids. So, I already had the environment and models made and this seemed like a fun way to use them.
I've also made further progress at making version 0.15 and we are still on course for an update sometime around October/November. I'll have a lot more to say about that soon, plus I’ll have some new image previews to share straight after I release the special.
