Stats
3445 more images bringing it up to a total of 5815
54 more animations bringing it up to a total of 182
18 new events
Events
Added event chain for transitioning the school to level 2
13 new events in transition event chain
2 new events in cafeteria
1 new events in courtyard
2 new events in school dormitory
fully reworked all 71 regular events and created variants for these events for all school levels up to level 10
some events now have a spicy animation on the higher levels
This was done to conform these events to my new (and hopefully) last workflow for rendering images, which allowed me in the first time to event render the events for all levels
Events can now have priority over other events
higher level variants of the events can be seen thanks to temporary rules allowing the player to raise the school level higher than 2

A manual on how to create a Mod can be found here (WIP)

Quests
A quest system has been implemented for you clueless folks
The new quest overview can be found in the journal
The overview shows quests for solving current event chains
By clicking the small info button in the quest overview more quests can be displayed
These quests are for helping people on how to unlock certain stuff or to give a general overview over what events have been seen
!!! Some quests might not update correctly or have display issues when using savegames from old versions
Character Overview
A character overview can now be found in the journal. (Thanks to @Shojua for suggesting this idea on my Discord Server)
If you have ideas yourself, leave your suggestion on the discord.
The Overview shows you a list for all regular in-game characters
When clicking on a character a detailed overview about that character together with a small image gallery is shown.
By marking an image as favorite, that image will be shown as thumbnail in the overview
Main Menu
Main Menu has been made nicer.
An animated background has been added
School Map
The school map has now changed highlighting
Locations that have an event are now highlighted with a marker
Pin-Style markers have been added to better show the location of the different facilities
Journal
when queuing a proposal that costs money, that money will be stashed until the vote, preventing spending money that is supposed to be used for the proposal
added temporary rules to allow the player to raise the games level up to the max of 10
Misc
Tons of bugfixes
Note for using existing save games from 0.1.4 and before:
I made sure to keep all the save files created from 0.1.2 and upwards compatible. The old saves should have no problems loading. For the selection of the new proficiencies, you'll get a prompt to select one.
IMPORTANT! It is possible that you get an error while loading an old savegame. In that case, you can just click on ignore a few times until you land on the map or get a selection menu. These errors are due to possible compatibility problems, like changed image paths or small changes in some game objects, but don't worry. The game has self repair mechanisms and once you return to the map all of the problems should be fixed. It is possible no location is clickable on the map. That can be fixed by opening and closing the journal or skipping the time.
A visual glitch is also possible on the map when loading an old save-game or when encountering an event with missing images. The map is still usable though and that glitch is fixed after going through another event.
Almost all of those images are due to using savegames from older versions, BUT they shouldn't compromise the games functionality and are mostly visual bugs that come after loading. After fixing the bugs with the steps mentioned above and saving, those problems will be gone for the new savegame file.
