0.4.2 | UI feedback & social events improvements

A new hotfix is now live for Wizdom Academy, bringing clearer UI feedback, deeper social interactions inside the academy, and a series of important fixes and quality-of-life improvements. This update focuses on making systems easier to read, more reactive, and more alive : while squashing several long-standing bugs along the way.

• Fixed a major issue where the caretaker could end up with no Mana

• Fixed Save/Load issues in the trial Room when students were waiting for graduation choices

• Fixed an issue where the quest “Assign the Headmaster to the Alchemy Classroom” did not check if the Headmaster was already assigned

• Fixed empty UI in History of Magic II room

• Fixed Dormitory T1 – Student layout issue

• Fixed incorrect feedback when attempting to build without enough resources:

  • The correct resource now shakes instead of the Gold text

• Reworked satisfaction & trust bars:

  • Improved appearance and visual emphasis

  • Adjusted construction bar offset

  • Added feedback when values are low

  • Added visual feedback when values increase or decrease

• Improved graduation panel to properly display the Trial Report

• UI Canvas scaling is now linearly proportional to camera distance

• Added new sliders & equilibrium adjustments

• Social Events system:

  • When occupants physically cross paths in the school, they can now trigger social events:

    • Dialogue Friendly exchanges with a dialogue bubble above both characters Characters stop working temporarily Players can interrupt the dialogue, reducing motivation

    • Conflict Aggressive dialogue bubbles indicate conflicts Motivation decreases the longer the conflict lasts Players can intervene to end it

    • Vandalism Vandalism now displays a dedicated bubble Players can stop the act and apply a Blame if caught in the act

  • After completing a social event, occupants have a very low chance of triggering another one until their next task

• Implemented Village Gold UI

• Activated village-specific banners

• Activated village illustrations when discovering a new village

As always, your feedback plays a huge role in shaping Wizdom Academy. This hotfix lays important groundwork for clearer systems and more dynamic life inside the school — and more improvements are already brewing in the cauldron.

Thank you for playing, and see you in the Academy!
