Head of the Class Update 1.1

Following the end of the SpooktoberVNJam judging period I managed to get back into the game and make a few updates.

The main changes for this update were to update the sprites, I made them all bigger as I realised they only really show up one character at a time, so there's no need for them to be so small on screen.

I also added some gameplay features for anyone looking for a little more difficulty, as well as some QoL improvements such as moving all the extra gameplay options, giving a little more info on what each one does when giving the user the chance to toggle them at game start and highlighting the current Mood Bonus the students are receiving based on their current mood.

Current gameplay options are as follows:

• Mood Multiplier:
  • The mood multiplier will adjust the points gained during teaching based on the current mood of the students. Applying a positive multiplier to points gained for students in a good mood up to x2.0 and a negative one to students in a foul mood with students at mood 0 learning nothing.
• Stress Penalty:
  • The stress penalty will cause Caragh to faint if her stress level ever maxes out while teaching. This will cause the current class to have no learning effect as she recuperates."
• Back to Back Penalty (new):
  • The back to back penalty will cause classes to be less effective if done multiple times in a row. Teaching the same class 2 or more times in a row will apply a x0.5 penalty to points earned for the class.
• Score Degradation Penalty (new):
  • The score degradation feature will cause students to slowly lose points in any classes not taken recently. Scores will be reduced by 1 for each class that hasn't been taught in the last 5 days."

Standard gameplay difficulty is assumed to include the Mood Multiplier and the Stress Bonus, with the gameplay being easier with out them and more difficult if the others are also included.
