Revival Report: August 2024
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.
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.
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.
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,

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.

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.

Do you enjoy Visual Novels? Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the other characters you encounter were actual players like yourself? Sentou Gakuen: Revival takes the Visual Novel experience to the unknown level by blending it with a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), creating a dynamic, player-driven, visual novel story set in a chaotic high school.
The game is presented in a Visual Novel style, but unlike traditional VNs, the characters you interact with are not just NPCs—they are players with their own unique stories. Once you finish your first day, you're free to forge your own path without predefined storylines.
The world of Sentou Gakuen is dynamic, with a day/night cycle that affects everything from the availability of shops, accessible zones, to the spawning of mobs.
Here are some of the planned features on our roadmap, listed in no particular order:
Will you uphold the peace in Sentou Gakuen or cause more chaos? The story is yours to tell.
About the Game
You are a student at a random high school in Japan, where delinquency, chaos, and strange occurrences are everyday events. How will you navigate this wild environment? Will you make allies or enemies? The choice is yours as you carve out your own story in this atypical school setting.Gameplay
The game is presented in a Visual Novel style, but unlike traditional VNs, the characters you interact with are not just NPCs—they are players with their own unique stories. Once you finish your first day, you're free to forge your own path without predefined storylines.
The world of Sentou Gakuen is dynamic, with a day/night cycle that affects everything from the availability of shops, accessible zones, to the spawning of mobs.
Features
- 31 Unique Zones: Explore beyond the school’s walls with 31 distinct zones, each with its own upgrades and secrets to uncover.
- Interactive Combat System: Engage in combat with NPCs in various zones where anything from pencils to sporks can be deadly weapons.
- Character Customization: Personalize your character with various bases and customization options.
- Crafting & Item System: Customize and craft your own gear to suit your playstyle, with no predefined recipes.
- Dynamic World: Experience a day/night system where certain areas change, mobs spawn at different times, and events unfold according to the time of day.
- Faction Wars: Choose between two major factions—Yami (闇) or Hikari (光)—or remain a neutral bystander as their war rages on.
Planned Features
Here are some of the planned features on our roadmap, listed in no particular order:
- Community Events: Work together with other students to improve the state of a zone and reap the rewards.
- Clubs and Guilds: Join a club or create your own. From academic groups to combat clans, there’s always a place for students with a common purpose.
- Co-op Challenges: Team up with friends and take on co-op missions like investigating the depth of Yamaki Forest and Suoh Lake.
- Steam Workshop Integration: Far down the roadmap, players can create their own visual novels within the game using a simple scripting language. You’ll have access to in-game resources (backgrounds, character sprites, music) or can upload your own assets. Once created, stories can be shared with other players.
Will you uphold the peace in Sentou Gakuen or cause more chaos? The story is yours to tell.
