The upcoming few months – what’s ahead

Now that the Australian election has come and gone, we are switching back to focus on President Forever 2016. In the next few months it will probably be:

1. President Forever 2016 will continue to be expanded – additional parties (starting with the Greens), scenarios, and features. The Editor will continue to be expanded.

We will also be taking the next step on a possible Mac version in the next week or so – it will be announced here when it happens.

2. Prime Minister Forever – Australia 2013 will also continue to be expanded – in addition to the 2013 scenario, a 2016 scenario will probably be the next to be added, and then 2010, 2007, and 2004. Beyond that, we’ll see.

Thanks everyone for your feedback so far – I look forward to continuing to move the games forward!
