Prison Architect Version 2.0 has been released!



TWO MILLION players have now enjoyed Prison Architect. We are flabbergasted. We would like to thank every single one of you from the bottom of our hearts, for making this such a dream project.

After six years of development including over 40 monthly updates, this is the final content update for Prison Architect and the final video. We will of course continue fixing bugs and providing support. We are going to take a break for a little while, but we will be back soon with our next game.

CHANGES

Developer Tools and Cheats
Developer tools and cheats, seen in some of the alpha videos, are now available to everyone.
A new option is shown when creating a new map, "Enable Cheats". This is prison specific and cannot be disabled later.

When enabled:
- All construction occurs immediately
- A new 'Spawn' toolbar button permits instant creation of any game object for zero cost
- Water can be placed like any other material
- Research in the bureaucracy screen can be sped up by holding down the right mouse button on the item

The Function keys now perform debug services:
F1 Edit world properties (Very easy to crash/ruin the game)
F2 Profiler
F3 Script Debugger
F4 Dialog Editor
F5 Sound Editor
F6 Sprite Bank Editor for Needs icons
F7 Sprite Bank Editor for User Interface icons
F8 Sprite Bank Editor for Game Sprites
F9 Debug rendering options
F11 Enlarge Map in All Directions

Nb.
- Cheat prisons do not allow achievement unlocks
- Cheat prisons cannot be sold for profit.


Policy Window (continued)
You can now set which misbehaviours warrant an increase or decrease in prisoner security.
For example, murder can be set to immediately make a prisoner Max-Sec.

You can now disable the cell quality checks that determine which cells a prisoner can be assigned to.
When enabled, prisoners who misbehave will not be assigned to a nice cell, even if that nice cell is the only one available.
When disabled, prisoners will always be assigned to free cells if that is all that is available.


Modding System (continued)
- Added World.NumPrisoners and World.Capacity. These return tables containing the current number of prisoners
and the total number of cells in each security rating respectively.
- Added ability to use markers in object tooltip strings (via objectTable.Tooltip). See lua_function_list.txt


- Localisations: All languages updated.

Bruh the game is still missing something what happened to the properties option in the dev mode that you were showing us in 2.0 preview. I would at least like an answer to why its not implemented.

Indeed, it doesn't make much sense to be able to automatically downgrade the security rating of a prisoner, but only have incidents as trigger points. Should I set a murderer to med sec only because he was caught steeling luxuries?

I submitted a bug report a while go, which got one response, which after answering was ignored. Anyways, whenever I load the game on my computer, all the sprites seem to be jumbled up. (Icons, objects, people are all mixed together) In addition, in the menus, recent features' titles are abbreviated into things like "codex.steamtrending" where the "Trending Items on Steam Workshop" button would be. Certain buttons that should be here are not as well, like the enable developer mode/cheats button when creating a new prison, and even the option to enable it in a brand new save file. (I would like to note I am using the latest release of PA as well.) These issues make the game completely unplayable, and I will reply with more info/files if you guys don't have a known solution to the problem already.

I've posted about tonnes of bugs and issues in the forums, I can't get access to mantis....I hope they will be looked into as well in future.

I'd like to see more interaction between the devs and the people and ESPECIALLY more moderation. I feel like no one is here, and if that's to do with visibility then perhaps Devs/staff need bigger badges.

Also why is this not in news? lol

And how do I update? I bought through GOG not Steam.
