Name in the game....

[CarlW21]

I think I'm gonna go ahead and get this one rather than just the basic pack,
What I want to know is when do you name the prisoner and write his bio ?
Is it straight away or ?....when do you have until to submit your prisoner info ?


Thanks

You can add your prisoners Bio into a form and it will appear later in the alpha. As far as I know, there is no time frame to do this at the moment.

Ok and are you able to edit this once you have submitted this or....once it's done it's done

Short answer: Soon.

Long answer:

The form in which you add your prisoners name, dob, nickname and bio is currently being put through user testing to make sure it can cope with the volume of requests (and make sure nobody puts anything inappropriate in as well).

When that's passed it's various tests (in the next week or two, I would imagine), you'll be able to officially update your prisoner info within the database and at the end of every alpha built the database will be pulled down and put into the game.

As to being able to edit it, I can't say for sure that you can, however given the propensity for people to change their minds I imagine it will be an option, yes.

Ok and one last thing, will people able to edit themselves in the game through mods or whatever in the future ?
Otherwise I don't see point in paying to be in the game if people can change that.

Oh and another last thing, what are the odds of your prisoner turning up to your prison ?
Like there could be hundred, or thousands even random prisoners coming into your prison.

At the end of the day, the real reason you pay for the tier is because you want to support Introversion and the various benefits in the various tiers are just perks on top of that.

It hasn't really been explained yet how it will work, however I imagine that it has been taken into account. I expect there'll be an encrypted file, or maybe it'll hardcoded into the executable itself. Sure, you could memory hack the game to change a bio into your own, take a picture and pretend it was real to all your friends, but nobody else would really care and you would know it wasn't real. The real benefit of it is that you get to have your custom criminal in every game ever shipped forever more.

As to how often you will appear. Who knows? With enough games, and enough time, you will eventually pop up, but there are several hundred (if not several thousand) people who have gone for that tier or higher.

Thanks a lot koshensky.

I ended up getting the $50 tier, because of the fact I do not own any other introversion games :O
So all of those plus PA, name in game, soundtrack and art work.

Well worth it !

Hi y'all. Any word on getting our name in the game yet? I'm in that tier and can't wait to play. Any word? Thanks

Can someone tell me why My submission is not showing up in the authorized prisoner and non-authorized list?

I made my prisoner, and it seems like I can only do one submission at a time, and I have no way of knowing that it's even submitted, as whenever I click on the 'name in the game editor', my submission just pops up again. I looked them up in both lists of submissions, and they're not there. So I'm thinking that I have no clue where the 'submit prisoner' button is.
