Month: October 2013

Congress Infinity is here! Congress Infinity, the sequel to our groundbreaking House and Senate election sim, features the latest game engine, improved game play, new GUI elements, and will include historical campaigns from 1990 – 2014 (House and Senate), a full Campaign Editor (to modify campaigns or create your own), and more!

You can now order the game and receive the latest test release immediately, and then the full release once it is released.

Congress Infinity is available for Windows and Mac (OS X 10.8 and above).

Windows here.

Mac here.

If you have any questions or feedback, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Thank you for supporting these sorts of games!

We’re now passed the 1/4 way mark in the President Forever 2016 for Mac Kickstarter campaign!

Thank you to everyone who has backed the campaign so far!

If you are considering supporting and haven’t already, now’s the time! We are off to a good start, and have 2.5 weeks to go, but we need your help to keep up the momentum!

There are a bunch of different rewards (including many that are relevant for Windows), so make sure to check it out if you haven’t already.

How Kickstarter works: If the target is met, the project is a go. If the target isn’t met, backers get pledged funds back, and the project isn’t a go.

Let’s do this! Click the Kickstarter link above and let’s make a P4E16 for Mac happen!

I’m currently working on a new Endorsers Screen, to be included in the next release, probably on Monday.

If anyone has suggestions for Democratic-leaning endorsers, feel free to post ideas in the comments. Currently, it’s GOP heavy.

Here is a before-and-after:

Endorsers will continue to be expanded after the next release. They’ll become more nuanced (instead of only caring about one issue or all or them), in particular. You’ll also be able to sort and view by tags (‘Senator’, ‘Governor’, and so on).

Good gaming!

Interested in shaping the future of P4E16?

The Steering Council decides which significant feature will be added to P4E16, on a monthly basis, from a selection of several possibilities. The possibilities are generated in response to Steering Council feedback before the vote, and also ideas from 270soft.

Each member of the Steering Council has a vote on which significant feature should be worked on next (as well as the ability to discuss and influence other Steering Council members on which feature should be worked on next).

The feature with the most votes will then be started and (hopefully) completed that month. This will occur each month until the election in 2016.

There are a total of 150 spots on the Steering Council, maximum. To secure a spot, support the creation of President Forever 2016, and vote on which feature will be implemented next on President Forever 2016 until the election in 2016, you can sign up here. Spots on the council are $5.

Questions or feedback welcome – we look forward to continuing to expand P4E16!

Vote President Forever 2016 for Mac!
