[fishwisch]

somehow, the game got a lot more playable thanks a lot.
im wondering though, does the big tv work properly now?

Oh, wow, I just realised something. You did make sure Mark didn't use that stupid voice again.

[Kilandra]

This is great, it's even more awesome because it truly shows that you took the time to listen to the users

Give him time...

zip-file for the PC version is corrupt. At least it says so for me...

Code: Select all

!   C:\..\..\Downloads\Prisonarchitect-alpha2-pc.zip: The archive is corrupt
!   C:\..\..\Downloads\Prisonarchitect-alpha2-pc.zip: The archive is corrupt
!   C:\..\..\Downloads\Prisonarchitect-alpha2-pc.zip: CRC failed in sounds.dat. The file is corrupt
!   C:\..\..\Downloads\Prisonarchitect-alpha2-pc.zip: The archive is corrupt


Check the file size. If it's less than 79290kB, the connection probably dropped somewhere during the download. New releases haven't been too kind on the site lately.

Did that and it works now after 6x downloading the file to get the right file size.

Hi guys,
How do i get access to the alpha 2? I know it said " Wiki in the usual place (Downloads section)" but i have no idea where that is, can anyone give me the link?
I also tried accessing it through the email, but it asks for user and password, when the only thing i have is a KEY.

Thanks for the help,
Miguel

You'll find a use for that key at: http://www.introversion.co.uk/prisonarc ... ister.html

i've signed up for the alpha, but not received my key yet. does the key get sent automatically, or will have i to wait til Monday?

The prisoners intake was such a good idea with having them only come when you have space,great idea. How will this work with a holding cell

[Mas Tnega]

Currently, 6 square metres of holding cell = 1 prisoner.

If you surpass a million dollars, can you please make the source code for your previous games/projects open source (probably removing a few key lines or releasing the source to an old version)? This might drum up additional support as well...

Of course I'm planning on getting the $40 deal for my birthday in a month.

Question: will there be a gulag option? Political prisoners, forced labor, etc?

That'll never happen. Making people buy it makes sure that those who do want to own the source code are actually making the conscious choice to buy it and knowing exactly what they're going to get for it. It's the same as the alpha, as Chris said in the Eurogamer presentation - they could go Humble Bundle and let you pay what you want, but that would open the floodgates to people who pay $1 without truly appreciating what it is that they're buying.

[Robert]

On the note of source code I missed the Humble Bundle that had it included but would gladly pay for the source code if they decdied to release it again. Already have the Uplink access just not the rest

[Mas Tnega]

Why not right now?
