This game is bloody fun.

The first mission is... dark. Somehow. That art style somehow manages to be cartoony and gritty at the same time.

this, im really enjoying it.

but if you decided to put showers in your pit of hell remember to put drains.

also i have piped water to the 1 toilet for the 16 prisoners, do i need to pump the water back out ?

I can't figure out the pipe system. My toilet says it still needs water, but I have pipes hooked up.

OK, I have a couple of hours logged now and want to offer a preliminary impression.
The game is a prison building/management sim. I have yet to encounter anything "dwarfy", no riots, no psycho behavior, etc. The game is very good for an alpha and a lot of the systems seem to be in place and working. There are some minor oddities on occasion, such as needing to use large pipes instead of small for no real reason or explanation. Some of the systems need better descriptions as well. The building is mildly awkward for a little while but you will get to understand it after some tweaking. You are issued a serious of contracts/grants that require you to build systems, etc.

The game is going to be great and I am happy to be able to be a part of the progression. I have submitted the only bug I have found so far and will continue to try to help. I am looking forward to anything "fun!" that may be coming.

Do you know how water works? This game appears to hate me.

[ScriptWolf]

im not sure on water, but i seem to keep running out of money after i get 1 sort of largish holding cell, kitchen and then a canteen then after i get power room and water room up thats it im out of cash >,<

[hemmingjay]

Water need a pump with large pipes running from it. Then use small pipes off the large ones to connect to fixtures.

As for running out of money, in the bottom right hand corner is a REPORTS folder. Click on one of the assignments(the one for $40,000 aligns with what you need to do anyway) and it gives you the cash so you can build the stuff.

When in doubt, read everything.

Nope!

You need a small pipe on the same tile as the toilet.

[Brons]

The large pipes transport the water through your prison (and I think they can't rund under walls) and the small pipes send the water to the objects that need water.

Goddamnit, this game looks so darn amazing. Lack of money, why do you torment me so?

Oh. God dammit.

[Catastrophic lolcats]

All this talk about pipes got me wondering if prisoners can escape through the larger ones Shawshank Redemption style. It would be interesting to have every prison have a possible security flaw. I suppose it's a bit out of the scope of what the game is aiming for though.

[Brons]

This game is hard. My prisoners start rioting all the time and their main complaint is that they're bored. Not sure how to fix that. Also, building enough cells is expensive.

[hemmingjay]

Boredom is alleviated by scheduling more time in the yard or common rooms. See the clipboard in bottom right for that. Also, until you can station guards and set up patrols, escapes and riots will be expected. Make sure to keep your kitchen separated from your prisoners. I make it so that the kitchen can only be accessed from outside and the canteen only from the inside. Once they get hold of a knife from your kitchen things get bad since your guards are slow and stupid. Also, make sure you have lots of prison doors/gates between your cells and the outside. Another tip is don't put connect new construction to existing construction until it is finished, otherwise workers coming and going allow prisoners to slip out the doors/gates.
