For me the most interesting development has been the ability to create fully integrated add ons, where the community can create new items, rooms, needs and grants.

What's the state of the game now guys? Are there still pathing issues?
Soldato
Yup roughly one a month, they are mostly tweeking the design.
If you look at the developers you tube channel there's a vid for each update.

Looks like they might be planning a mobile version for iOS/Android/Windows 8 depending on survey results: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1V9KXWyfUvd5uz1ejOKf_6BwtjhY8mtKoLixHNkToOuE/viewform

I like this game but I think it is getting a little over complex with wiring etc.
Sometimes developers go too far and I think this is one of them!
The complexity would be fine if everything was introduced and explained properly to you. The last time I fired up prison architect (which was a few versions ago) it dumped me in a completely empty area and told to get on with it. Because I am very bad at prison architect this usually ends in a complete failure to get a decent prison started, usually through overspending for the bare necessities of a small prison despite taking every grant available. With some tutorials where you build or alter some prisons based on step by step instruction from the game which explain the majority of the features I'm sure I would have a much better time with it

Just thought id try and bring this thread back to life! On my mobile at the moment but when I get the chance ill post up some prison screenshots.
Also if anyone struggling getting used to this game ill help out wherever I can, I'm still learning but put a few hours into this game and always end up with working,high value prisons.

Huh - long time no post! Suprised!
Anyway, this releases on october 6th!
Also today they had a live event - in which they announced 2 more game modes at release.
Story Mode and Escape Mode.
The latter sounds awesome, fully fledged out 'play as a prisoner' mode! You can do anything that your other prisoners can do.
And for those who haven't followed it recently, quite a lot has been added still including gangs.
Cant wait for this!

I've started playing this again, bought it a while back and hadn't really gave it the time it needed but this weekend decided to go for the install.
Finding it a lot more user friendly to get to grips with, think I struggled to get into it first time around because I found you were just chucked in to deal with it.

I played the first 3 campaign chapters and it's pretty decent, teaches you the ins and outs of running a prison. Before you were simply left to learn of your own accord. I also love the fact that it teaches you how to deal with the aftermath of a riot, like it knows that it going to happen sooner rather than later

I spoke to the developers at EGX for about 40 mins and they are extremely accommodating to users feedback. Refreshing experience as loads of publishers are often rather closed minded.
