Shhh, speak not that name except in a whisper....

I'll meet you halfway with a stage whisper.

I'm quite amused by a total conversion mod to Hotel Architect, where a hotel resident snitches to the staff about someone eating too much at the buffet, then gets stabbed to death with a butterknife as a result.

26 dropped, looks to be a bug bash update.

Indeed it is. Fixed some important stuff as well.
I'll let someone else dump the entire update log, but it's some good stuff.

Hm I should be watching this thread since I got the game a few months ago...

Alpha 27 is out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDf3wkxSjY4

baby is hungry because batman did override the schedule over the phone.

(food demand/supply, class schedules, manual overrides, phone call information.)

also 66% off in the steam sale atm!

[Tobel]

And Alpha 28

[Kaje]

This is £3.99 in the Steam sale - beyond awesome at that price.

Huh. You know, I really like Prison Architect, and I've stood behind it for a while as doing early access right. That said, I feel like I've seen it on sale for $10 every other week, it was just in the Humble Bundle, and now it's 80% off...it's making me rather anxious, and if this were almost any other game, I'd pretty much figure that the end was nigh.

[nenjin]

Even if the end is nigh, PA has had a really, really good run. Solid, regular development and updates, almost all fan wishes (that I know of) achieved. Compared to a lot of EA games, PA has gone above and beyond what most people expect.

Still, I don't think they're done. When your game has been out there and is well-known, constant sales are how you keep that profit tail going.

0 sales at full price < 100 sales at 80% off

its a number game really...and they have already made millions...I am sure they are more than fine

[ductape]

Thinking about buying it, I haven't yet because I'm not a fan of playing unfinished games. However, it seems that people are saying it has a lot of features, even while not being done.

I ask you guys, is it fun as it is? Will I be happy to play it or will I think it is still unfinished?

[nenjin]

It is a solid investment. It's one of the few Early Access games that pretty much feels like a full-game. The sandbox is feature-rich, flexible and scales well to small or large projects. There's several layers of micromanagement if you're inclined to dig that deep. The single player campaign, with music, a text story and scripted gameplay isn't done and hasn't been talked about in an aeon. So there's still that for the game to get too. Introversion really does try to make the game a better sim in a meaningful way with every update. "No we can't do that" doesn't seem to be in their vocabulary, unlike a lot of people making sims. They just have the money and skill and freedom to make a good sim, because they've been making games for years.

Of all the things I've wanted of PA, about the only thing it hasn't given me is gangs. I really think Introversion deserves the money and, you never know. Every dollar they get for PA may one day get us Subversion back. It's long been thought that PA is Introversion actually deving all the systems necessary for Subversion, even though PA it is its own game at this point.

So yeah, get it. It has my 100% unadulterated support.

It was worth purchasing a year ago, and certainly worth it today. You shouldn't be disappointed. I'd say it is only about six more months of development away from being relatively feature complete. They just need to work on staff personalities, gangs, some more sophisticated escape attempts using collaboration between prisoners, and prisoners with bribed guards passing them keys etc.
