Two Point CampusPREVIEW
TwoPoint Campusputs you in the shoes
of a school administrator looking tobuild
the best educational environment
possible for the students of TwoPoint
County. You’ll have to cater to their wants
and needs, from library desks tofood
vendors. Balancing work and play for
both teachers andstudentsis of the
utmost importance. And although
you may get yourself intodebt, see
some students drop out, and
struggle to keepyour staff energised, it’s
still a lot of fun.
I started my journey in Freshleigh
Meadows, asmall town college where“life
moves slowly and expectations are...
lowly”. This is the perfect place to start
your career asa campus administrator.
You’re trying yourbestand that’sall that
matters.As long as you give these
students the basics and a dollop of
goodwill, they’re happyto takea chance
on your budding career.TWO THE POINT
First thing’sfirst,you need a course to
teach. There isn’t much point in havinga
college without something to learn, isthere?The courses ofTwoPoint Campus
aren’t exactly conventional either.
Scientography, as you mayhave guessed
it from the name,is science in an unusual
format. It’snot the usual sitting around
with Bunsenburnersand litmus tests –
rather your students crowd arounda
gargantuan flask-shaped machine with far
too manybuttons andhave a go pressing
them. A giant hammerwhacks away at
the flask while multicoloured steam (or is
that smoke?) plumes from itsspout.
That’sthe science I wish I took at school.
When I asked Ben Huskins,the design
directorat TwoPoint Studios, andsenior
producer JoKoehler about creating these
courses andtheir interpretations, they
referencethe absurd medical conditions
TwoPoint’slast game, TwoPoint Hospital,
tackled, like Denim Jean or Shock Horror.
Huskins says, “Obviously with TwoPoint
Hospitalit’sall slightly,well completely
bonkers.And sowe asked, what’s the
equivalent ofthat? Aswe started making
Campusit felt like thecourseswere the
obvious place togive us that scopefor
having somecoursesthat feel more
grounded in reality,like Scientography.
The reason we put that at the start of
the gamewas that everyone
recognises science and thinks about
having science classes at school, but
let’sput a bit of twist on it. And then
as the game progresses we gradually get
introduced to the evenmore weird and
wonderful courses.”
I only managed to get a sneak peakat
Scientographyand Gastronomy, but I was
assured by the team that thestudiesof
students continue to get more wacky,
such as Knight School,where your
scholars will learnto joust.
For now, though, Scientography is my
focus. Iwas quickly put to work designing
a room with all thenecessary equipment.
A board for calculations andthe
aforementioned flask machine. But that’s
not all a college needs, is it? I need a
dormitoryfor students to get their beauty
sleep in, a bathroom and shower for
hygiene and, of course, snacksto keep
their energy up. Freshleigh Meadows is
already looking prettyswish and I’mon a
roll. Bins,plants, lockers,oh andlet’sgive
the students alibrary too. In their
downtime the population shouldalso have
a place to socialise so a student lounge is aE
ducation is the foundation of our society.
Students are expected to get great marks
through primary, secondary, and for
some, higher education too. As a student
I diligently concentrated on my grades...
sometimes. But as an institutional boss in Two
Point Campus, I was more concerned with placing
the staff room dart board.
