Teacher and Classroom update + Voice chat (kinda)

Hey everyone this update is a pretty standard one we have a new character the Teacher and a new stage the Chalk Board. I'm pretty excited about these additions especially the stage as it's a lot more open/bigger than most of our other stages. The teacher is also a really fun character to play with a unique ult that traps your opponents in a detention zone. I hope you guys enjoy them ːsteamhappyː

Another thing I did this update was attempt to add a proper voice chat solution. However I ran into several issues. We initially tried to use a voice chat plugin that we bought but realized it didn't work for the version of unity we were using. Due to that I had to code one mostly from scratch. We later realized that the voice recognition software we use didn't allow other scripts to access the mic directly. Because of this we had to grab mic data from the voice recognition software which was fine but it seems to sound fairly choppy I'll be honest I'm not sure if this is my fault or due to the restrictions. We aren't happy with the end result but its too much work to remove or fix it for this update so I've left it in though it's disabled by default you're free to use it but I'd personally recommend just using discord or steam calling instead.

As mentioned in the previous updates we've increased the price from $3.99 usd to $5.99 usd. This will probably be one of our last major updates before our full release so as always I want to thank everyone for all the support it really helps to keep us motivated.
