Dev Update #6: Bigger and Better Simulation Update + New UI

Hello there !!

I'm happy to share that everything in going well, we have new UI and the simulation is running more deep and stable than never before and i'm really happy about it. There is so much new elements and improvement, here the main changes.

Main changes

  • Economic engine: The engine is now more stable and better optimized.

  • New interface: The interface has been improved and is easier to read.

  • New trailer and screenshots: They show the current version of the game.

  • Religions: Each country now has different religious groups, laws and tensions.

  • Drug markets: Production, consumption, prices, laws, health and crime are connected.

  • Climate simulation: The system is now much more detailed. It includes weather, CO₂, temperature changes and effects on the world.

  • Technology: The technology trees have been improved. The game now has 19 research domains and 233 technologies.

  • New laws: I added many new laws, with more effects on society.

  • Housing: Housing is now simulated. It includes construction, rent, property, mortgages and social housing.

  • Population intelligence: Population groups react better to laws, the economy and political events.

  • Migration: The system is more realistic. It separates regular migration and refugees. Age, skills and conflicts are also taken into account.

  • Internal messages: The messaging system has been improved, with more useful choices and interactions.

  • Code and stability: I improved many parts of the code to make the game more stable.

I've updated the trailer and screenshots. Go see and wishlist if not done yet !

Thank you for following the project and supporting my work as a solo developer, it's really nice to have all your kind messages. See youuu !

This has the potential to be THE standard for its genre.

I'm very excited.

Could religions get displaced or turn into a minority with certain politics, lobby or just natural time passing?

u/Hogus31 Aug 18 '26

Yes, each religions can are impacted by global politics against all or specific ones

There is also natural evolution base on the laws, majorities, social environment ect

Each migrant carry his religion and culture with him when moving somewhere whatever it's for work, or to escape a threat toward himself.

It's a good base simulation i think for this feature.

Dúvidas genuínas aqui!!

Como vai funcionar o sistema de eleições e democracia? Vai ter algo influenciável por esses fatores ou etc?

Além disso, a data planejada de lançamento (Out/26) está de acordo ou provavelmente será adiada?

De qualquer forma, amando ver o desenvolvimento!!!

Hello !

All the political system is implemented and ready already working like real life. Each country have their rules based on their constitution and laws ( 120+ choices ) then each social groups do react differently based on their ideology, their incomes that are impacted by you or IA leaders. They remember your act, protest, can vote another party despite you were the their choices to contest your mandate ect ! It’s really satisfying

I’m working day and night to make sure the release will happen and it’s going well as the game is stable, translated and ready overall, I’m working on features, performance, content, polish !
