Our last update screwed up some voter group membership calculations. We have (we think!) fixed it today. Thats the only change.We are working on a bigger re-balancing patch, which should come in a day or two.
Whats coming to Democracy 3 this year
Hi, Just an update from the Democracy 3 developers to fill you in on news about the game.
Firstly, although we released a new game (Democracy 3 Africa) that doesn't mean than the base D3 game is being neglected. In fact we have been working for months on a new expansion for the base game which we will officially announce in a month or so.
Secondly, we have been doing our best to fix some stability issues a few people have experienced, especially under windows 10. yesterday we patched the Clones & Drones DLC which we found to cause problems under very specific circumstances.
Thirdly, we know our list of supported languages could be bigger, and that the GUI for language selection is a total mess. We are planning on a Democracy 3 update that will re-engineer all of the translations and make it possible for us to support many more with ease. That should happen a fair bit later n the year (after the above-named expansion is complete).
Fourthly, some of the tweaks and improvements we made for Democracy 3 Africa should also be making it over to this game, such as some tweaks to the way income tax/flat tax work, and far greater stability in the face of corrupt or badly coded mods.
Just letting you know we are still working on stuff. Expect teasing screenshots soon :D
Version 1.22 patch notes
We had fixed XP support in an un-named interim update, and now today we have this minor patch to the windows version which should fix support for low spec hardware that may have caused some occasional crashing on certain setups.
Windows XP Support fixed
Hi, thanks to a very helpful steam community member, we think we have tracked down and fixed a problem that several Windows XP users were having with the game, hence today's update. Sorry about that!
Updated to version 1.2!
Yes, its been a year since we last patched the game, but that doesn't mean we have forgotten it, far from it! We just released a big chunky update with a ton of new features. A full breakdown is here:
But to summarize, version 1.2 includes a dozen new achievements, 4 new events, tweaks to some of simulation variables, and a great big long list of improvements to the GUI to make information more accessible and to reveal a lot of the 'hidden' data that people wanted to see.
This patch is currently windows only, but linux & mac versions are coming in the next few days... We hope you like the new GUI tweaks, and good luck maxxing out all of those new achievements :D
Democracy 3: Clones & Drones Released!
We are happy to announce that our new expansion pack for Democracy 3: Clones & Drones is now on sale!
What challenges are to come for the politicians of the future? Mass unemployment due to the automation of factories? or will this lead to a leisure society and equality? Will ubiquitous drones lead to better law enforcement and less traffic congestion or to widespread crime and infringement of privacy? Should we give the go-ahead to human cloning? will climate change cause problems for our country? Are we going to run out of rare earth metals? or oil...? The people look to YOU for leadership in these turbulent times. Can you keep the country happy and prosperous as we head to the 2020s and beyond?
Clones & Drones adds new dilemmas, policies, events and simulation values to the ultimate political strategy game. Available now for PC/Mac/Linux.
Democracy 3: Extremism released!
Do you enjoy Democracy 3 but wish you could go that little bit further? Are you a capitalist who wants the unemployed to work for their benefits? Maybe a patriot who wishes every schoolkid had to sing the national anthem every day? Perhaps an environmentalist who wants to close the airports? All these options (and many more) can be yours with the new Expansion for Democracy 3... EXTREMISM.
Check out the trailer (we are very pleased with it :D) and more here:
And let us know what you think of the new policies!
