Hello there!
It’s high time to share the development and EA launch news with you.
Right now we have 2 directions:
Firstly, the alpha testers and we find a plenty of bugs (around 200), the game logic breaks and so on in every patch. It takes extra time to fix.
Secondly, it’s scheduled to add important game stuff into the game, and it makes no sense to release the EA without that. We’re talking about the US political system that made up of three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. We do want to implement the political system at the level of the states level though so that the player is able to appoint his assistants as a judge, governor, legislature congressman and so on. After the EA launch, we'll add the federal government (the president, the US Congress and over) into the game.
Furthermore, we’re trying to combine the US economics and politics in order to manipulate tax rates, strikes, the rights of African Americans and women, and working conditions, respectively, in a sense, plutocrats do the same things to make big money and gain influence.
In addition, to launch the EA on Steam, we need to get the verification of the game build - it’s gonna take something around a week - hence the range of the EA release dates is February, 27 - March, 28
We cannot be sure of the exact date because new game things make new bugs even in places where we fixed them. Therefore, some games have a lots of bugs because devs try to release their game as soon as possible. We’ll be taking into consideration the opinion of the alpha testers - if they tell us the game is ok, we’ll run the EA on Steam.
At the moment, we’re grinding pretty hard because we’re aiming to add all the planned stuff into the game before the EA.
