Pickaxe: You will buy it off a new NPC that sells pickaxes for 1$ Coal: mine coal rocks underground to get coal Coal Pack: craftable by 2 coals Train Fix Kit: 2x coal packs, 1x screws, 1x oil - not hard to get
How to escape via train?
1) fix it 2) it will start moving with a big cho-cho sound that everyone on the map will hear 3) guards will try to come to knock you all out and stop the train - if guards stop the train you can just interact with it to resume it, no need to fix it again 4) when the train reaches the finish line, everyone around it will escape with it currently, I plan so the train will take 90 seconds to reach the end.
New
New Floor - Train Rails - You can fix a train and start it - will take 90 seconds to arrive at the escape point.
Pistol - Currently only available in the lobby, will be added to the game soon.
Advanced Knocked-out system - You will be sent to the infirmary instead of getting up(prisoners will be sent to their cells at night).
Item - Segway for guards - you can buy it from the guard shop, hard to control but fast.
Map UI marking - now when you open the map you can see many markings on it - escape points, doors, fences, and much more!
Hitboxes - now you can hit players in the head, body, legs, and arms instead of the general hitbox which was inaccurate.
Rlayers can revive knocked-out players from their same role.
Mini map for all floors of the prison - not just the main one!
NPC in the train rails floor - you can buy from him a pickaxe and a pistol.
Item - Pickaxe - use it to mine coal rocks on the train rails floor.
Item - Coal and Coal Pack - a pack is craftable from 2 coals.
Item - Train Fix Kit - use it to fix the train on the new floor.
Added Crouching - Press X to toggle crouching
Added Leaning - hold control+Q or control+E to lean left or right
Now the X axis of the looking direction of players are synced, so for example, if they look up, their character will look up on other people's screen.
System that allows you to have smooth combat with guns(currently only pistols).
Now new custom maps will need an infirmary point to mark where the knocked-out players will be sent(for maps without an infirmary point, they will teleport to their start position).
Changed
Open lobby settings key was changed from C to G.
Fixed
There was a bug that prevented you from seeing most of the lobbies.

Prison Editor Is Released With Workshop Support With Over 350 Objects!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2125160/Prison_Life_2/ After a very long month of hard work, the map editor is finally ready to be released! I'm going to do more updates to it very soon so please share feedback with me, I will 100% read it :)
Notable Features:
Over 350 objects with many functions!
Robust building system, you can use and customize snap presets to place and manipulate objects
Up 100 Prison floors with no lag! - I made a system that makes you render only the current floor you are in so each time you move between floors, different items will be loaded. (each floor can be normal, underground/vents)
Teleportation System
- you choose for each teleport object a target and the players can use it
Maze system
- randomly generated, can have as many mazes as your want
Customize The Textures of Buildings!
Customize Restricted/Allowed Areas
Premade Rooms
- All the rooms you know and love are premade - you can choose a room you want and place it right into your prison.
New Room - Classroom
Easy to publish - take a preview image from inside the game and publish it with 1 click
In-game guide for the prison editor.
Many optimization systems to make your prisons run smoothly.
Option to add pre-baked reflections that will load when you join a game.
Parent-Child system so you can manage the objects in your prison better
Why I dropped the price only a week after the launch?
As the game needs a lot of people to play together I decided that lowering the price is the best option for the game - hopefully, will bring more players.
I did a vote on the discord server on what price you can afford and most of you chose 4.99$
The price might rise in the future as I add more updates to the game.
When does the level editor come out?
I'm planning to release it on Friday but I might need to take another week to get it super polished, will try my best.
Update 1.1
Now you can sell skins in your inventory for diamonds
Each skin can be sold for 1 diamond
There is a warning dialog that shows before you sell
Use shift to quick sell.
I bought the game at 11.99$(or with 10% discount) and I am mad!
I am very sorry, I know it's unfair but as a reward, I added 200 diamonds to all existing accounts - worth around 50$!
Prison Editor Releasing Soon!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2125160/Prison_Life_2/ I am excited to announce my upcoming Prison Editor which will allow you to create your very own prisons and customize them to your liking. - Ability to change wall, floor, and roof materials, the possibilities are endless. - Publish your prisons on the steam workshop. And the best part? The upgraded proof system ensures that if you build a prison in version 1.0, it will still work in 1.1.
I am planning to release the Prison Editor only a week or two after the launch of the game today, so get ready to take your gaming experience to the next level. With my upcoming Prison Editor, you can design your own prison and challenge your friends to escape from your customized fortress.
Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to experience the ultimate prison simulation game with my new Prison Editor. Let the games begin!
In recent time I added a lot of things to Prison Life 2 as we are getting close to release, prisoners will have craftable weapons(melee and ranged) to fight off the guards if needed.
The demo will start on Feb 6th and will last a week
You will be able to choose your skin color.
Punches will consume stamina.
If you punch anyone near a guard you will become wanted.
Slingshots will be craftable and there will be 2 versions - wooden and metal - metal will have more uses and will do more damage.
Many cool visual effects and sounds that improve the feel of the game!
To get daily updates join the discord or follow us on youtube or tiktok Let me know if you have ideas for prison weapons with ways to craft them!(no sharp weapons 🙂 ) (also added recoil for using the taser and a little bit for the shovels)

More about the ranked mode
you will gain and lose ranked points by winning and losing of course - but a lot of parameters will be taken into a count, for example if guards won and 7/8 prisoners escaped, the guards will gain less RR and prisoners will lose less RR.
Players who leave a match will lose a lot of additional RR together with a penalty to queue.
