Where we’re going from here.
- Replace polling system (adds new game play, solves save-load issues)
- Continue expanding Editor capabilities
- Add graphs
President Infinity 2021 v. 1.0 for Windows and Mac has been released!
This release replaces Favorability with a percentages-based voter movement system, which makes turn processing faster and save-load faster. It also adds a new Start Screen graphic, and fixes several bugs (including the leader and vice-leader % bonuses bug).
You can now ‘add a game‘ for President Infinity 2021! (Note that if you’re already on subscription and a President Infinity owner, you are covered for President Infinity 2021 until your subscription expires.)

Note: if you have campaigns you have made from President Infinity Classic, it is recommended that you back these up first. Although there should be no problems loading and playing them, this simply errs on the side of caution. If the campaign formatting is unknown, the campaign will be re-written to disk using the new formatting without backing up the original version. If a campaign XML file’s syntax has to be updated, it will backup automatically, however.
See notes below. This version will not overwrite your existing Classic (3.1.1j) release install (if applicable), so you can play the new official version while still playing your previously installed Classic version.

Limited Editor. Save-load is considered an experimental feature right now, and might not work if you’ve already played a large number of days after a primaries start.
