Announcement

Hello all, I have an announcement to make!

A couple of months ago, I have decided to fully focus myself on the development of a new version of Particracy.
This time it's very much for real, since I have quit my day job and as of October 2017, I'm working full-time on the new game.

I have ambitious plans about the features of the game, and it will need to be significantly scaled up to accommodate the larger player community that will make its development financially feasible.

Planned features include the ones you have in Particracy Classic, and beyond that I also plan to implement federalism, bicameral legislatures, individual politicians whose careers you manage, real budgets with real consequences, an economic simulation model, international diplomacy and war.
The game will be multi-world by design, so that we can keep the scale of things realistic: approximately a half dozen parties per nation, and a couple dozen nations in the world, while also accommodating a larger player base.

It will most probably be free to play, with a subscription for players who want extras on top of their gameplay experience. Pay to win is not in the picture.

I will be hosting sessions on the Discord chat or the forum to discuss feature development, and i'll also open up a project blog you can follow in the near future.

I hope you are as enthusiastic as I am about this!

For those interested, there is a #development channel in the official Particracy Discord server where some Q&A is going on from time to time.
