Any date when they want to finish this game?

[Karlito]

They haven't shared anything like that, no. I'd say it's probably going to take them another year, or more.

[Shades]

I hadn't really played since alpha 2 or 3 until last night and I must say that game is improving greatly, jobs, deployments and the character details add so much to the game. Looking forward to what they add next.

Yeah, don't hold your breath for it. Introversion updates come only slightly faster than DF ones.

[Tobel]

I normally wait for about three or four builds before I try to play. It is a lot better than alpha 1 though.

From what I'd seen from the video it looks more like 50% less scheduled free time to me, but laundry also works for a title.

[PanH]

Just dled it back. It seems like free time has been nerfed, prisoners don't seem to sleep when free time (relax only), or is it me ? Also, it seems it's a bit more CPU intensive than a few alphas before, I think I'm going to go on smaller maps, maybe medium/small.

Well, 100% less free time 

[MrWiggles]

Oh. The game has changed enough where I'm gonna try my hand at making a prison again.

Call me crazy but the more it goes the more i see some *introversion* in this game, schedule, task, personality, while working on this title they are indeed learning new stuff they would be able to apply in introversion. Basicly the more i see this game the more im hungry for introversion... one day it will come and i am glad to see this game flourish too

Yeah, don't hold your breath for it. Introversion creates games on a schedule that only Valve would be envious of

Unlike Valve though, they tend to be short on money, which makes it a bit harder to make things constantly.

A two man team (Maybe 3 now.....) has earned over $1,800,000 off a game with really only 1 year of development. Not to mention a lot of money from all the rest of their games.

I don't think most people, other than Fortune 500 CEOs consider $600,000-$900,000 a small amount of money.

(PS: The dollar figure is on top of this page : http://www.introversion.co.uk/prisonarchitect/ )

They also developped a game for 3 years before abandoning it.

[Knight of Fools]

Honestly, if more developers could man up and say, "This just isn't fun" and not sell it after three years, we'd have fewer Duke Nukem Forevers and more Prison Architects.

Weren't they going to reuse some of the code from that to make another game? I remember that being mentioned at some point.

I think I read the same thing too, but I understood it as they learnt new things rather than using the same code.
