I'd like to see more things to manage/control in the prison. It's great when the prisoners can do more things, but for me playing the game, I want more things to do myself.

You may not control the individual, but I believe qwert wishes to be able to control his staff's training and written policies. It would be quite interesting to set your guard salary and get a caliber of guard that matched what you were willing to pay. Spend $50 a day to keep a guard employed? They...

Let the devs program the prisoners entirely - they are the force that we cannot control. But give US the programming rights to our staff, our facilities, our schedule (you see, we already have this right, and it is one of the most important things that distinguishes one prison from another) and our...

Tell me you're not talking Agile... please. Well, I think I would call it Agile. Now, I'm not that into many highly hyped agile methodologies, for example Scrum. I've just found it impossible to do rigid waterfall software development in practice. If doing customer work, they always change their mi...

Alpha stage is for introducing and implementing new mechanics. Beta stage is for taking all these mechanics and balancing the various aspects of the game. What I was trying to say, is that the waterfall development model (of one stage rigidly following the next) has been proven to be pretty bad for...

I hope adjusting the income per prisoner is easy, and if that small change helps now, then why not do it? I believe in iterative software development. Early feedback is good feedback. Trying to design everything in advance rarely works in practice. I don't see much benefit in being totally inflexibl...
