Thank you for your interest in the Ace Campus Club. Thanks to the efforts of the development team, the game has finally completed the content remake for the new version and is available for purchase immediately.

At the same time, we also optimized some gameplay and features, hoping to bring a better experience to players. This version update contains: New easy, normal and hard difficulties.

Each week, 6 items will have a random price fluctuation, 3 up and 3 down, with multipliers of 1.33 and 0.75. This fluctuation is included in the calculation of the total price of the item and cannot be reported by the news and cannot be known in advance by the instructor or the female protagonists. The previous restriction of only buying or only selling in certain areas has been removed and now all areas can be bought and sold at the same time. The item discard function has been added. If an item cannot be traded in a certain area, it can be discarded in that area. Female protagonists and instructors will now provide the correct price float or event information after 2/3 weeks on the phone; remove the previous setting where instructors provide incorrect information. The female protagonist that will appear in the tutorial has been changed to the character with the best compatibility with the club, and the character with the worst compatibility with the club no longer appears. All news has now been changed to more clearly indicate the price fluctuation of an item in a certain place, making it easier for players to understand.

When recruiting female protagonists or elite members into a club, their attributes will be displayed on the interface for players to preview. The best compatible female protagonists for the club is displayed on the club selection screen. When confirming the selection of a instructor, the specific role of the instructor is indicated.

Due to the epidemic, the dubbing of the revised part was not completed and will be added later. A new Bian Yu route created by a third party has been added as DLC for free download. This DLC will not be downloaded automatically, but will be downloaded manually, and will overwrite the original Bian Yu route; inverting the selection in DLC management interface will restore the original Bian Yu route. The dubbing plan for this DLC episode will be determined by subsequent evaluations. The music performance of some episodes was redone. Bug Fixes: Fixed a possible error in the scroll bar of the trading interface. Code optimization was done for some interfaces. Other Issues: Since 2.0 starts to require difficulty judgement, therefore the old version of the save will no longer be available.

In the last stage, we have learned from player feedback that the current gameplay is poor. After that, we decided, to suspend the sale of this version of the game and shut down the game. However, the reset of the game was not completed on the original date. We have now realized that the decision to close the game was improper. We will resume the game immediately, but we will still keep the game off sale until the game completes at least one reset. The current scheduled date is April 30, 2022. We will update the first reset version as much as possible before then. The amount of work involved in the reset has exceeded our expectations. Changes have been made to gameplay and data, and the plot of Bian Yu has been rewritten by a new author. Therefore, it is impossible to determine exactly how much more time we will need to update a proper version. We are sorry for the trouble caused to the players.

Due to the development needs, the Ace Campus Club will be updated to 2.0 beta version from now on. Ace Campus Club has been on sale for several months, so it can't be transferred back to the Early Access state, so we decided to update the game directly to the 2.0 beta version, and remove the game from Steam for the time being. Unfortunately, if you have previously purchased this game, you may not be able to run the 2.0 beta version properly. We recommend that you download the free DLC. The old version of the game has now been moved to the free DLC, and you can continue to play the old version of the game by launching the DLC through the Steam library after downloading. For the old version, in addition to the DLC, we have made the following changes: Because 2.0 will be designed with new achievements, we will withdraw and remove the old version achievements from Steam. The old achievements will be embedded in the old version of the game, located in the "EXTRAS" menu. After 7 days of this announcement, the old achievements will be disconnected, withdrawn, and removed from Steam. Due to 2.0 gameplay and balance changes, the old leaderboards will no longer be available. After 7 days of this announcement, the old leaderboards will be cleared. Due to the different data structure of 2.0, the saves of the old version will not be used together with 2.0. After 7 days of this announcement, the Steam Cloud function of the old version will be cancelled, and you will need to manually move the old version's saves into the DLC's folder. Old save path: Steam/steamapps/common/Ace Campus Club/game/saves DLC save path: Steam/steamapps/common/Ace Campus Club/data/saves Ace Campus Club 2.0 Ace Campus Club 2.0 is almost a completely new game compared to the old one. We redid all the resources except for the original graphics and most of the UI. The process took a long time, and we are catching up on it. We had to turn the body into a 2.0 beta now because of testing needs. We feel we must be responsible to our players, so 2.0 will not stand alone as a new game on Steam, but will directly overwrite the old version. Information about what is currently available for 2.0 will be detailed below. Changes to the Game Development Team The game development team has undergone a major change. After the accident in the old version, the people in charge of certain parts of the game were shirking, pulling the strings, and muddling through, and these people have been fired. After that our team changed its structure and reoriented its business and development. The new team has now taken over these parts. Update of Gameplay, Plot, Performance and Music The new team has come up with a completely new design for the above parts. Regarding these changes, in a few days they will be able to post the current design in the form of a video on Bilibili. We believe these people are more than capable of doing their job and welcome players to contact them to share their ideas. You can send your suggestions and comments to the new planning team by sending an email to nagisa@zixs.team. UE/UI Due to many changes in gameplay and other changes, UE and UI will inevitably be added and adjusted. This part will be continued by the original person in charge, and the overall UI style will not change. Dubbing Due to the rewriting of the script, the old dubbing cannot be used. 2.0 will not include the corresponding dubbing when it is officially released, and we have not yet decided whether to dub the 2.0 version. If we do, we cannot guarantee that we will continue to use the original lineup from the old version, and we prefer to use professional voice actors to do so. English It is uncertain whether the 2.0 release will include a corresponding translation. We will implement translations as soon as the content is confirmed. For this reason, we will temporarily remove the English language support mark from the Steam page. Leaderboards The leaderboards in 2.0 will support Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. The number of leaderboards will remain at 1 or be increased to as many as necessary.

Since the release of Ace Campus Club, there have been setbacks in both word of mouth and sales, but we have also never made the intention of giving up on the game and the players who have supported us all along. Hello Games didn't give up on No Man's Sky, and we won't give up on Ace Campus Club, we have to be responsible to our players. We decided that we would hire a new team and reset the gameplay in its entirety. The parts we plan to reset are as follows: 1. increase the length of a game to provide a better game pace and gameplay experience. 2. redo the game trading system, including the value of a complete reset. 3. increase the randomness to enrich the current trading gameplay. 4. redo the dating and good feeling system to change the current gameplay and plot tear. Other changes are still under negotiation, the subsequent updates and development progress we will continue to push in the way of producer newsletters on Steam and various platforms. And for now, that is, the game is on sale after the update of version 1.2.2 of the content, we will be in the form of DLC, free distribution to the purchase of this game for players to be able to better compare. Doing the game is a matter of attitude, bowing and apologizing won't solve anything, thanks to the players for our continuous support, we will use practical action to fulfill our promise.

Freeplay Mode has been added. At the end of the regular 50 weeks and after the settlement is completed, players will have the option to enter Freeplay Mode or exit the round. Freeplay Mode will retain all features except for the settlement, and the game will no longer have a specific objective. Players can use Freeplay Mode to continue to familiarize themselves with the rules and features of the game, and can also access the diary to view unlocked episodes in Freeplay Mode. (Note: Leaderboard scores can only be uploaded at settlement, so they will not be uploaded in Freeplay Mode.) For players who use shortcuts to unlock episodes, the game now has a "Skip for 10 weeks" button located next to the week number in your phone. This button will calculate 10 consecutive weeks of data based on current player data and algorithms. This button is not available in Freeplay Mode. When a player calls each heroine, the heroine will first express her opinion about the player's chosen club, and this opinion will be permanently recorded in the "Character Profile". If the opinion has already been recorded, the call with the heroine will continue to display other information according to the current game rules. Changed the algorithm for the "New Scenario Unlocked" prompt, which is now only displayed when the player unlocks the main episode. For episodes that the player has already watched, the "New Scenario Unlocked" prompt will no longer be displayed when they are included in the diary.
