Alpha 9
Hello everyone! This marks a significant step in the right direction. I want to express my gratitude for all the invaluable feedback you've provided. With this update, I've focused on improving the game's flow and expanding the impact of laws, among other enhancements. Notably, Lawgivers II now supports the "first past the post system" with auto-generated constituencies, although the AI still requires further refinement.

In the coming days, expect smaller updates to address any remaining issues and introduce new content. Additionally, multiplayer functionality will become available with alpha 10. I'm also working on revamping the tutorial and providing a "paradox" style tutorial/tooltips.

As per the community consensus on Discord, the next country slated for inclusion is France :D
Please stay tuned, and I'd greatly appreciate hearing your thoughts on these improvements.

Oh boy, what a wild night!! After 1.2 years since the kickstarter campaign, Lawgivers II is now on public early access on Steam. Soo excited to read your comments and reviews. But keep in mind, this is again just a new beginning for the game. Expect frequent gameplay and content updates in the following weeks according to the community's wishes. The United Kingdom is almost ready, the multiplayer development is at a good stage... I am at work on many more functions, such as the option to have a secret vote in parliament, the option to resign from public positions, agreements between parties, impeachment. In future laws will influence events/scandals during game and more!! Let's go!

FEATURES
- added tension level to protests, higher tension may affect GDP

For those new, I'm Damian(33) and 15 years ago was exploring with the idea to create a parliament simulation. I've started out with Lawgivers on Android and now PC is the main development platform. The game has been completely rewritten from scratch and now we have a much bigger playground :)

The community on Discord is now voting for the next country to add. Join and cast your vote in this channel: polls-countries
