00:00 Hello and welcome to Two Point Campus, your chance to be the benevolent overlord of higher
00:13 education.
00:14 In so many management games, the little people are just anonymous little blobs that make
00:19 crazy demands and mess up your painstaking plans.
00:23 With Two Point Campus, the new game from the makers of the delightful Two Point Hospital,
00:27 that's all going to change.
00:33 Everything you loved about Two Point Hospital is still there, the dad jokes, the excessively
00:37 addictive mechanics, but you'll now be able to really zoom in on the students you're looking
00:41 after as they study and slack their way through college.
00:44 They'll have likes and dislikes, needs, and the environment you create for them will help
00:48 them live, laugh and love.
00:52 We spoke to co-founders of Two Point Studios, Mark Webley and Gary Carr, about Two Point
00:57 Campus, and they explained that this evolution in the series came from wanting players to
01:00 care about the little people.
01:02 In Two Point Hospital, patients were only with you long enough to either get cured or
01:06 die.
01:07 In Two Point Campus, students will be with you throughout their three year courses, and
01:11 you'll be more invested in their success.
01:13 Now this isn't like The Sims, you won't be in direct control in telling your students
01:17 when to use the toilet, but you will be able to influence their lives in other ways.
01:21 For instance, if you build a rose garden on your campus, you increase the chance of your
01:25 students developing romantic relationships.
01:28 Sure not many of my college relationships started in rose gardens, or in dingy nightclubs
01:32 and puddles of cider, but the rose garden looks much nicer on the screen.
01:43 Of course, this being a Two Point game, you can forget about boring economics classes
01:47 or seminars on the causes of the potato famine.
01:49 Instead, your students can master the art of making car-sized pizzas with gastronomy,
01:54 or attend night school (please just take a moment to appreciate that pun) and run around
01:59 in medieval armour.
02:00 Your classrooms will look less like stuffy academic boxes, and more like mad scientist
02:04 laboratories.
02:08 Two Point Campus also has some fun with all of those college stereotypes we've learned
02:11 about from movies and TV.
02:13 Those guys in the wigs?
02:14 The class clowns.
02:16 The toffs are instantly recognisable in the smart tailcoats.
02:19 And the goths are, well, the goths are just adorable.
02:22 Even better, the chances of any of them dying feel much smaller than when I was running
02:25 Two Point Hospital.
02:30 In our sneak peek at Two Point Campus, we got to see the adventures of Alex, a student
02:34 studying robotics and scientography, as well as building giant robot hands and, um, testing?
02:40 Strange chemicals for class.
02:41 Alex explored the more social side of college too.
02:44 There are music events at the Student Union, movie nights, and even a nap club.
02:48 When students want to get really wild, they can hit the milkshake keg.
02:52 Remember your student days?
02:54 Out of your mind on sugary dairy products?
02:56 Of course, as anyone who has hit 30 knows, you can't party without consequences, and
03:01 too much of it can mean dropping off in class and falling grades.
03:05 This new level of depth is sure to add to the moorish madness of the Two Point formula,
03:09 but you'll need to balance it all with running a successful campus.
03:12 The better your students do, the more money the college will earn, giving you more money
03:16 to invest in better equipment and staff.
03:19 And it's not like you have just one student to look after, you'll have a whole class of
03:22 them, so even if you have your favourites, you're going to have to resist the temptation
03:26 to obsessively stalk their every move.
03:31 And if you're not a people person, there's still plenty to play with in Two Point Campus.
03:35 After seeing the way the community experimented with the building tools in Two Point Hospital,
03:40 the developers are also going to give you a lot more freedom when it comes to how your
03:43 campus looks.
03:44 Whether you want perfectly manicured gardens, labyrinthine paths, sleek modern buildings,
03:49 or a Hogwarts vibe, there are a load more customisation options to lose yourself in this
03:54 time around.
03:56 As a Two Point Hospital addict who has yet to find a cure, I can't wait to jump into
04:00 Two Point Campus and rule the school with a mixture of care and callous greed.
04:04 The game will be released on PC, consoles and Nintendo Switch later this year.
