A student without a roof is like a test without answersdoomed to fail! Fortunately, that wont be a problem anymore. The long-awaited Housing System is now available! Players can own their own personal housing instance, providing a space for relaxation and customization. By default, other students can stumble into your house like uninvited drunk oyajis looking for free snacks, but you can toggle visibility off if you prefer solitude.

What is Housing For?

Owning a house provides several benefits:

• Increased Maximum Energy Housing offers a higher energy cap compared to a basic apartment.
• Rest Feature Once every 20 hours, players can fully restore their energy by resting at home.
• Student Visitation By default, other students can visit your home, but you can toggle visibility off at any time for privacy.

Higher-tier housing options come with additional benefits that increases maximum energy, giving players an advantage in their daily activities. Additionally, all houses come with their own upgrades, right now there are only two upgrades available, but more will come later. In future updates, housing will be expandable, allowing players to add new rooms such as kitchens, living rooms, and more to personalize their space. Stay tuned for further improvements!

How Do I Get a House?

Housing in Sentou Gakuen: Revival is obtained through Activity Tickets, which are earned via Steam item drops during gameplay. These tickets can be traded with other students, so if youve already secured your perfect home, worry notthey wont go to waste. Currently, theyre used for housing exchanges, but more uses will be added in future updates! To upgrade your living space, head to the Staff Room and request better housing accommodations.
Next, to relocate to a different house, students must first obtain a Housing Permit issued by the Student Council. The council oversees the transfer process, ensuring that stashes, previous housing upgrades, and other personal belongings are safely moved to the new residence.

Patches, Hotfixes, Small Updates:

Below are aggregated list of changes since last patch/hotfix post:

• Temporary Change: Students no longer need to upgrade their school entrance to receive Activity Ticket drops. For now, Steam drops will trigger automatically upon launching the game to maximize testing. This will be removed in a future updateso make the most of it while it lasts!
• Added 6 variants of Player Housing: Shirogane, Akebono, Amberstone, Aozora, Hinokawa, Yamabuki.
• Added new menu on Staff Room.
• Added new menu on Residential Area.
• Added Housing Permit on Student Council.
• Added Keybindings option on settings.
• Added dialogue text size option on settings.
• Updated Review Subject window to align horizontally instead of vertically.
• Reduced spawn rate of mythical creatures on exploration zone.
• Fixed Commendation Ticket not properly dropping.
• Fixed some achievements not properly triggered despite meeting requirements.
• Fixed main menu logo placed on wrong layers.
• Fixed main menu logo blocking players with low screen resolution from starting the game.
• Fixed bald preacher not dropping any loot, he now drops you glue. His head may be shiny, but at least his hands arent empty anymore.

Closing Off

That said, please note a few things:

• Steam Inventory has its quirks. Weve done our best to ensure it works, but unexpected issues may still arise. If something seems off, try restarting the game firstyoud be surprised how often that fixes things. Steam Inventory (along with Steam Workshop) remains one of the most painstakingly complex features to implement on Steam, yet its documentation is about as abundant as my will to debug it.
• This is just the first iteration of Player Housing, and were not done yet. Expect additions, removals, and changes as we refine the system based on feedback and future plans. Stay on your toesyour home might look different in the next update!

Remember, housing is a privilege, not a rightso dont go turning it into a disaster zone! - Principal

A meddling grannyyes, the wise, all-seeing elder who watches over the neighborhoodhas raised a grave concern over the state of our neighbourhood. She says that people these days throw things around like they own the place!

That's why, as responsible students of Sentou Gakuen, it's time for us to take action!

Event Duration

Start: March 3rd, 2025 End: April 3rd, 2025

Event Details

During this event, mobs will randomly drop Garbage items. Your mission? Gather as much as possible and turn them in at the Garbage Collection Site, located in the residential district near your shoddy apartment. Each piece of garbage you collect will contribute to your total score, proving that youre not just some litterbug but a model student of society!

Greetings, students!

Greetings, students and future troublemakers! Principal Honoo Masato here with an important announcement regarding the Early Access of our school! So, sharpen your pencils and prepare your wits as we enter the next phase of our development.

Word of Apology

We havent kept up with our social media and stuff as we focus solely on the development, please pardon our silence. Our aim is to release the Early Access of this project in tandem with Steams Visual Novel Fest 2025 which has left us time-crunched and handcuffed. Our Early Access date is planned for March 3rd, 2025 (or March 4th, depending on your timezone) the same time Visual Novel Fest 2025 started. To check what time is it on your local city, please use the link here. We aim to have early access by that date and time. However, we still have some things to sort out with Steam. If theres a delay, we will post an announcement.

Keep Expectations in Check

As mentioned in the Store page, this project is pretty much a work in progress where there are still many features ahead of us to tackle. The reason were pursuing this route is that wed like to involve the community as we build this niche game. Keep your expectations in check when dealing with an Early Access title on Steam. We understand that some people might be put off with this Early Access tag, but worry not, but worry not, we wont charge players to test our early access game. The game is absolutely free and you can always add to your Wishlist and get notified later for the V1.0 release.

This is not a Release Version

Just to reiterate the point above. Our plan is to have early access going for at least one year before considering leaving from Early Access. This project is not a sprint, but rather a marathon. - Is it fun? - Does it have enough contents? - Does it have release blocking bugs? Those are 3 things that we will evaluate routinely before considering to depart from Early Access. If not, then updates will continue as usual. As mentioned elsewhere, the update will be delivered via a rolling release cycle with patches delivered every other week. There are no Alpha or any other versions, were working with single EA branch with the assumption of everyones running on the latest version. Due to time constraints, various features we originally planned for the Early Access launch had to be postponed and moved into the post-EA launch plan.

Progression During Early Access

Please expect some form of progression loss during this early access period as we make changes and adjustments within the game. Some progress will carry over to the V1.0 release (such as your achievement unlocks), while some wont. That being said, when the Early Access concluded we do plan to bring the final end game that is New Game+ ( (shinky), which means advancing to the next grade.) which gives reason for both previous and new players to try out the game from start, which will reward existing players while ensuring new players enrolling in our school arent left out. I would like to remind you that this is a game and not a race, so please have fun first & foremost. The details on how New Game Plus will work will be explained later, as it is still too early to discuss.

Planned Features

In an ideal world, wed like to have all of these features before the early access, but alas, time simply goes by so fast. Items on this list are on logs, but not sorted in any particular order:

• More Deep Zone Exploration. Its a randomly generated solo dungeon, and wed like to have at least seven themes by release.
• Maid System. This will work similarly to the original Sentou Gakuen. They are hireable NPCs that will assist you in combat.
• Player Housing. Right now all students are renting on an apartment procured by school. Later on, they will be able to own property that provides boosts (such as energy) and a private space where other students can visit.
• Party Based Co-Op Exploration. A harder version of dungeon that will require multiple students to clear it.
• More events. School-wide events that involve all students, as well as smaller encounters that happen within a zone.

Closing Words

Thats it for now, we thank you for your time, and please have a great day! P.S.: There is no February 2025 report, as this suffices. - Principal

Greetings, students!

Welcome to the first Revival Report of 2025, my beloved troublemakers! Your Principal here; You might be wondering why this Revival Report is coming to you earlier than usual. Well, we have some important news about our chaotic school that you need to hear.

Early Access

I need to address something important. Remember when we mentioned launching Early Access in late January? Well, plans have shifted. I come to you as a bearer of bad news: our previously mentioned early access date has been postponed. Unfortunately, our city has been experiencing severe weather conditions that have led to significant flooding in many areas. This unexpected boss battle against Mother Nature, combined with an ongoing influenza outbreak affecting our team members, has created unexpected challenges in our development. These setbacks have not only disrupted our original schedule but also turned our streets into impromptu swimming pools (not the fun kind). After consulting with Steamworks Support and considering the backend work that also needs to be done on their side (which might take weeks), we have a new, concrete date to share with you. Sentou Gakuen: Revival will be launching on March 3rd or 4th (depending on your timezone) of 2025. And here's some exciting news - this new date coincides with the upcoming Steam Visual Novel Fest, where our game will also be participating! You can check when Early Access launches in your local timezone by clicking [here]

Looking Ahead

In next month's February Revival Report, we'll provide a detailed breakdown of what features and content you can expect during the early access period, as well as what elements will be coming in future updates. This will help you better understand the scope of our initial release and our development roadmap. Your continued support and patience mean the world to us, and we're working hard to ensure that when you finally step through our school gates, the experience will be worth the wait. Until then, keep those wishlists coming, stay tuned for more updates, and get ready for an exciting start to your academic career this March! Stay chaotic (but safe)! -Principal,

Greetings, students!

Welcome to the final Revival Report of 2024, my beloved troublemakers! Your Principal here, ready to wrap up this incredible year with some important updates about our chaotic school.

The Road to Early Access

As many of you know, we're in the final stretch of preparation for our Early Access launch in late January. our development has been slowly progressing as the clock ticks forward, fueled by an endless supply of coffee and the occasional instant noodles (Indomie). The halls of Sentou Gakuen are buzzing with activity as we polish every corner and fix every loose floorboard (well, except for the ones we're keeping intentionally loose for... educational purposes).

Setting Expectations

Now, I need to have a serious talk with you all. *adjusts glasses* While we're incredibly excited about the Early Access launch, it's important to understand what this means. This version of Sentou Gakuen is just the beginning of our journey together. Think of it as your first day at school there's still so much more to learn and experience ahead. The development will continue for at least another year after the Early Access launch, with regular updates, new content, and improvements based on your feedback. Some features might be rough around the edges, and you might encounter a few... unexpected surprises (though in Sentou Gakuen, those are part of the charm, aren't they?).

Holiday Wishes

As we close out 2024, I want to wish all our students, future troublemakers, and their families a wonderful holiday season. May your celebrations be filled with joy, your new year full of promise, and your schemes... well, let's just say I'll pretend I didn't see anything. *winks* Take this time to rest, recharge, and maybe practice your running speed you'll need it when you return to our halls in January!

Closing Thoughts

This might be our last Revival Report for 2024, but it's just the beginning of our story. Keep those wishlists coming, stay tuned for more updates, and get ready for an exciting start to 2025 with our Early Access launch. Until next year, stay chaotic (but safe)! -Principal,

[ 2024-12-31 04:44:01 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings, students!

Welcome back, troublemakers and future students of Sentou Gakuen! It's your Principal here with the latest updates on our school's revival. As we approach the end of the year, we have some important news to share.

Early Access Date

I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting our official early access date. We've been working tirelessly to bring you Sentou Gakuen, and I'm thrilled to announce that the date has been set to January 27th, 2025. *cough cough* This carefully chosen date will let us incorporate your feedback and ensure your return to our chaotic halls is absolutely spectacular... *ahem* Though I must mention that this particular week happens to coincide with a series of national holidays in Indonesia *cough* not that it influenced our decision-making process at all! *wheeze*

MacOS Support

Originally we intended to support only Windows and Linux, but our plans have expanded. We're happy to announce that MacOS support is coming to Sentou Gakuen! Our aim is to create a smooth experience for MacOS users, letting them wreak havoc in style. The game will run natively on Apple Silicon processors, with support launching either at early access launch or shortly afterward. Note that the older Intel-based Macs won't be supported as we're just following Apple's transition to their superior Apple Silicon architecture *ahem*. Though we must admit, those Intel Macs did make excellent space heaters during winter... but that's beside the point! Apple Silicon for... *cough* ...life!

Wrapping Up

That's all for now! Keep an eye out for our December Revival Reportwe'll be sharing more updates. Stay tuned! Your continued support and patience mean the world to us. We're committed to delivering an unforgettable experience that will make your return to Sentou Gakuen truly special. Keep causing trouble (responsibly, of course), and get ready for an exciting start to the new year with Sentou Gakuen! Until next time, - Principal

[ 2024-11-30 04:03:02 CET ] [ Original post ]

Greetings, students!

Welcome back, troublemakers and aspiring chaos-makers of Sentou Gakuen! Your Principal here, ready to deliver the October 2024 Revival Report. Grab your seats and hold onto your uniforms, because we've got some exciting updates to share!

Steam Next Fest: Thanks for Playing

First and foremost, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you who took the time to play our demo during Steam Next Fest. Your participation, feedback, and enthusiasm have been absolutely invaluable. You've helped put Sentou Gakuen on the map, and for that, we can't thank you enough!

7000+ Wishlists: You're Making Us Blush!

Speaking of putting us on the map, I'm thrilled to announce that we've surpassed 7000 wishlists on Steam! This is an incredible milestone that we couldn't have achieved without your support. Every wishlist is a vote of confidence in our chaotic little school, and we're honored by your interest. If you haven't added us to your wishlist yet, what are you waiting for? Join the troublemaking party!

Demo Update: A Brief Hiatus

Now, I have an important announcement for all you eager beavers craving more content. Our beloved (or perhaps infamous?) demo version is taking a little vacation from updates. As we shift our focus back to the dev branch, the demo will remain unchanged for a while. But don't fret! While this news might ruffle a few feathers, rest assured that the demo is still available and will stay online for your troublemaking pleasure.

What's Next?

I'm afraid I'll have to leave you in suspense for just a little bit longer. Keep your eyes peeled for our next Revival Report in November 2024. We'll have more updates, more chaos, and who knows? Maybe even a surprise or two up our sleeves. As always, your continued support and patience mean the world to us. Sentou Gakuen is more than just a gameit's a community, and you're all an integral part of it. Whether you've been with us since the beginning from previous decade or you've just enrolled, know that you're helping to shape the future of our beloved school. Until next time, keep causing trouble (responsibly, of course), and remember: in Sentou Gakuen, chaos isn't just encouragedit's part of the curriculum! - Principal

Dear, students! To celebrate the October 2024 edition of Steam Next Fest, we're excited to announce a special event where you can have your name eternalized at the city's museum! This is our way of showing our appreciation to the community, and it's super easy to participate.

How to Join:

[olist]

(Optional) Set your Steam profile to public at the end of the fest. [/olist] That's it! Once you've posted here, all you need to do is spend some playtime in the Sentou Gakuen demo before Steam Next Fest ends. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3175150/Sentou_Gakuen_Revival_Demo/

How It Works:

• After the event ends, we'll be checking each participant's total demo playtime in Sentou Gakuen as shown on your Steam profile.
• The more hours you have accumulated in the demo, the higher up on the list your name will appear!
• The list of attendees will be featured in the city's museum during both the early access and the release version. The name that will be immortalized is your Steam display name.
• If your Steam profile is set to private, you'll still be included, but you'll be placed lower on the list.

The event will end along with Steam Next Fest on October 21, so be sure to rack up those hours in the demo before then to secure a high spot!

Reward:

FAQ:

Q: How do I secure a high rank on the list? Simply play the Sentou Gakuen demo as much as you can before Steam Next Fest ends. The more hours you have accumulated overall in the demo, the better your ranking! Q: How will my playtime be tracked? Once the event ends, our dedicated Student Council will be on the lookout, checking your total demo playtime on Steam through your profile. To ensure they can accurately tally your hours, make sure your profile is set to public during the data collection days! Q: Do I need to keep my Steam profile public during the entire event? No, you only need to set your profile to public when we pull the data on October 22-25. After that, feel free to switch it back to private! Q: What happens if my profile is private? We will still include your name, but you'll be placed lower on the list, regardless of your total playtime. Thank you for being part of the Sentou Gakuen community! Lets make this Next Fest unforgettable, and may your names forever be remembered in the halls of our city museum when the early access version arrives. Now you can proudly say, "I belong in the museum!" - Principal

Greetings, students!

Greetings students and future troublemakers of Sentou Gakuen. Its your Principal here with some news that has been long-overdue at this point. For so many years, our school was in a state of dereliction, forgotten like an old chalkboard covered in dust. But in this past one and half year, the development has been repicked up again from zero to revive this project. With that there are several things that I'd like to address.

The Scrapping of Old

Originally, this project was being built in Unity, but over time, the project became bogged down with so many grievances that it was hard to move forward. So, I made the decision to scrap the old build entirely. I explored several other enginesGameMaker, Defold, and morebut in the end, I chose to stick with Godot and restarted the project from the ground up. Godots ease of iteration has allowed me to quickly prototype and refine the chaos that is our school. And since it's open source, I can dive right into its inner workings and make the tweaks that fit our needs perfectly.

Technical Demo Release

Mark your calendars for September 2 or 3, 2024 (depending on where you live). This will be the first chance for you to step into the revived Sentou Gakuen and experience the new build. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3175150/Sentou_Gakuen_Revival_Demo/ This technical demo offers you a glimpse into the world of Sentou Gakuen, featuring the opening story scene and short bit of gameplay. Please note that this demo is a technical preview and may contain game-breaking bugs, progression loss, broken menus, not yet implemented and missing features. It is pretty much a tech-demo in progress and does not represent the final version of the game.

What about Early Access?

The current plan is to have early access released by the end of this year. Please note that this project is a work in progress. Updates will be issued in a rolling release format, where patches are applied frequently that may introduce bugs, cause progression issues, and similar problems. Hence, we request players to bear this in mind. Thank you for your patience, and to those who thought this school had closed its doors for goodmy sincerest apologies for the long absence. All I ask is for more time to fully reboot this title and bring Sentou Gakuen back to life. This is what Ive got to announce for now but stay tuned for further updates in my next posts. Meanwhile you can join our Discord channel and follow our Twitter (X), the links are available below. -Principal,

Pertamax.

Been working continuously ever since the game got greenlit. Honestly didn't expect it to be Greenlit "that soon" (yes really, hopefully it's a good sign), after all Sentou Gakuen: Revival is just a random game you stumble upon from random Indonesian dev. I've been reading and learning Steamworks API and how it would fit into our game, the features they offer really "a lots!" (overwhelming). No wonder they are now one of the largest digital distribution for PC gaming. Ok, so what we got so far. Current version is 0.01B3-Rev. Here is what we have done to the Game's client as well as other game related stuffs.

FAQ Goes Here

Can we play the game? If you have tester key, then yes. You can download the game, run it, and connect to the server. But at this state, I wouldn't call that playable, since it reeks of bugs and lots of stuffs still not added yet. So far we have only given a dozen keys to internal testers. And only those people that can play the game at the moment. Can I request the tester Key? I want to test it! Please wait while we are transitioning our stuffs from our garage to the live development server. As well as we still want to add more stuffs before we start taking more people. We do plan to distribute more keys for testers by the end of October, (or November if we don't make it). All you need to do is to watch the announcements section of the game hub during those time lines. When is the game released? The game will be released under Early Access, the aim for Early Access start is by the end of 2015 or early 2016. From there we are going to continue the development of the game along with the players. What Steamworks stuffs you plan to bring to the game? Steam Stats and Steam Achievements will be the first on the list. Steam Trading Cards will be coming next as soon as we have the required assets. Steam Workshop is planned, so you can share your own stuffs such as your own story that you want to share to others, new mobs, or new zones, if it's popular enough we will be putting it live on the main game. Since Story Mode haven't been touched at all, Steam Workshop won't be available any time soon. If I play on Early Access, will my progress wiped on release? Short answer, Yes. Long answer, I don't know. Due to the state of the game now, things might get broken later on, making a wipe a viable options. So don't over invest and don't cry when there's such thing in the future! wizard
