Announced in the 2 Nov 2026 School-Wide Announcement after reaching 600,000 players
Ranked number 1 in Steam Next Fest player count after climbing from 10K on day one
4th-floor Computer Lab opened on 23 Oct; student-count scaling shipped in demo 0.1.9 on 19 Oct
Four numbered builds (0.1.4, 0.1.6, 0.1.7, 0.1.9) and four unnumbered School-Wide Announcements
During the first six days of the October test window (14 Oct to 19 Oct 2026), patches carried explicit version numbers from 0.1.4 to 0.1.9, focusing on stability, party invites, balloon scoring, and student-count scaling.
On 14 Oct 2026, the demo crossed 10,000 players on day one and received emergency repairs in build 0.1.4. Two days later, on 16 Oct 2026, Demo 0.1.6 added the ability to invite Steam friends directly through the in-game phone so groups could form lobbies without leaving the classroom HUD.
Published on 17 Oct 2026, the Demo 0.1.7 update tuned offensive student items by confirming that hitting a teacher with balloons increases mischief value, turning balloons into an active scoring tool rather than just a visual distraction.
Demo 0.1.9 on 19 Oct 2026 overhauled match balance: Mischief Points required to win go down when fewer students are in the match, the teacher recovers some stamina after catches when more students are present, item spawns scale with student count, and eating and drinking sounds play when using snacks.
From 21 Oct through 2 Nov 2026, Funcore Games shifted to unnumbered '[School-Wide Announcement]' posts that paired major player-count milestones with new rooms and the transition to full release.
Seven days into the demo (200,000 players reached on 21 Oct 2026), a major gameplay update added student crawling, openable classroom back doors, Teacher's Lunch hidden in the office, Teacher's Rage extra stamina when aiming with the chalk, banana slip sounds, and a lecture hall lighting pass.
Ten days after launch (23 Oct 2026), player count reached 300,000 and the developers unlocked the Computer Lab on the 4th floor, giving players a dense multi-row computer classroom ahead of the Steam Next Fest finish.
By 27 Oct and 2 Nov 2026, the demo had reached 600,000 players and ranked #1 in Steam Next Fest player count. The 2 Nov announcement stated that the demo closes on November 3 so the team can prepare for class starting on November 10.
