On the first day, the dealer will not come once you read the tutorial texts from the announcer. The player can directly use the clock to skip to the night when ready to start.
The video tutorials in the projector room now starts only when the player looks at the screen for the first time.
Made the first hint texts of the game clearer by using better wording and more detailed animations.
Made some texts appear more clearly by adding a background to them.
Fixed a bug reported by a player regarding the dealer. He wasn’t hiding his hand when leaving and then wasn’t interacting with the player the next day.
Fixed a bug reported by a player regarding the confiscated objects. Sometimes, the objects that were confiscated and then given back as a “first offence” were not interacting at all when used in crafting.
Fixed some bugs that occurred on occasion and created instability in the game.
Patch 1.1.0 - Furniture Madness and Oculus Support
Hi Prison Bosses,
We have some pretty exciting stuff for you! Today is the release of patch 1.1.0. In this patch, you will have access to exciting new content as well as some bug fixes to make the experience of becoming a prison kingpin better.
First, we have added 6 new pieces of furniture and a progressive Arcade Mode. You will discover these as you progress through the game. As for the Arcade Mode, while until now it was unlocked after completing the whole game, it will now be unlocked after completing the first prison. As the players unlock new items to craft and pieces of furniture, they will be added to the Arcade Mode.
Second, the biggest change added to the game will be the new morning search features, where each morning the guards will search the players’ cells. Many players noted that the game was a bit too easy since they only had to skip to day when a guard was approaching, therefore avoiding any searches. By including morning search, the players will need to be savvier and think of how to organize the things they craft and the furniture within their cells.
Third, prison 1 has been rebalanced by adjusting the objectives and rewards, and by reducing the numbers of tiers needed to complete the prison. It is important to note that any game saved before the patch notes are released will be preserved.
Finally, in response to players’ feedback, a new tutorial system will be implemented, which will allow players to learn how to craft items as they encounter them in the game. This will make the learning experience more natural and progressive. New players will also be able to jump into gameplay faster.
And at last, we are also launching the game on Oculus Rift! We have tested the game with three sensors that allows players to replicate the playing experience of the Vive.
So, have fun and most of all, try not to drop your bobbys!
EDIT : To Oculus users who encountered an issue saying that they need to check their internet connection, this has been resolved in an update at 9:10PM EST. If you don't get the update, try to restart Steam. Thank you for your understanding!

Prison Boss VR Release
We are really excited to announce the release of Prison Boss VR! It’s only the beginning, we consider the game as a full release but we are already thinking about a set of free updates that will be made in the coming months :
Oculus Rift support. Implement native support for Oculus.
More furniture and customization options for the cell. We want to allow players to make each game unique and fuel the diversity of tactics through more furniture options.
New Sandbox Mode. This free play mode would allow players to have all the possible crafting options to unlock in the same game and try to compete for a more long-term high score than the Arcade Mode.
Localization.
Note for Oculus owners As is, the game seems to work. However, we did not have the opportunity to properly test it and adapt it, so please tell us about your issues if you have some, it will help us make the port.
We’ll listen to every feedback you will come up with and you can use the discussions in the community to do so or email us at support@trebuchet.fun
We hope you will have a great time playing Prison Boss and share your experience if you like the game!
