Comment: What is Prison Architect?

Prison Architect is an upcoming video game by the British software company Introversion Software. It was made available as a paid alpha pre order 26 September 2012 with updates scheduled every three to four weeks. The game was an entrant in the 2012 Independent Games Festival.

Gameplay / Plot

The game is a top down construction and management simulation where the player takes control of the running and building of a maximum security prison. The players role is of both architect and governor with sandbox micromanagement themes such as choosing where to put lights, drains and how they connect together.

Added

= Prisoner Categories

All prisoners are now classified based on their risk level - Min, Normal, or Max.

Prisoner uniforms are coloured to reflect this: Grey, Orange and Red respectively.

Note: The Category of a prisoner is an ESTIMATE of their risk level,

based on their convictions. However their true risk is determined by their TRAITS

= Prisoner Traits, 'Rap Sheet' & Criminal History

All prisoners now have Bios that detail their criminal history, length of time in jail etc

Click on any prisoner to review his Rap Sheet.

Prisoners have (internal) traits which determine if they are violent, destructive etc

These traits determine the Prisoner's likely response to their needs not being met

= New Sector Categories

You can now set sectors to be used for MinSec or MaxSec prisoners in the deployment screen.

Note: This only affects prisoners cell assignment. They currently share all other rooms.

MaxSec or MinSec prisoners without cell space will overflow into the shared (White) sectors.

A Holding Cell is required as temporary housing to facilitate cell changes

= Intake Control

You can now control the intake of new inmates from the 'Prisoners Report' screen.

You can choose which categories you are open to, or stop receiving any new prisoners.

Note: Unavailable if 'Continuous Intake' is enabled; You will receive a random mixture

= The hunt for Stuck Prisoners

Several subtle bugs have been fixed which resulted in prisoners becoming stuck, shackled,

pushed into the wall, forgotten, or trapped in hospital beds. (Guards sometimes as well)

Prisoners who are trapped will now be escorted back to their cells by a guard.

Note: All entities need to be healed before they will be let out the medical ward, and

Prisoners need to have a cell to be taken back to.

- There is now some variation in the physical size of prisoners. Higher Risk prisoners tend to be larger

- Doctors will now heal injured people around them more reliably (within range 10 sq)

- The tape measure dragging sounds will no longer play unless you are laying out construction orders

- Building frameworks now look more 3d and cast shadows when under construction

- Links have been added to the Main Menu to access the latest version, legal terms & conditions and buy page

- Fixed a bug which allowed prisoners to glitch through doors when they were trying to escape, making it quite a bit easier for them to succeed

- Fixed: The game would crash on loading or selecting a saved prison, if that prison had a thumbnail image of width or height> 2048 pixels. (Happens if you are running at higher res, eg Retina)

- Fixed: You can no longer callout unlimited numbers of firemen

- Fixed: A dead or unconscious firemen will no longer drop / spawn his firehose continuously
