Minor Fixes and Tweaks

The Sunset Update is Live! This one's for you.

Hello Wardens, here is our final update to Prison Architect - The Sunset Update.

This one’s for you.

Prison Architect: Sunset Trailer

It’s been a real joy and honor here at Paradox Interactive and Double Eleven to work on this game for you. It’s been just over a decade since Introversion first put out an Alpha build of Prison Architect and the game has come so far since then. While we’re closing this chapter, the book is certainly not yet finished.

We’ll see you around.

QoL Improvements / Features:

• Capacitor 2.0: I introduce to you, the Capacitor Max Plus - an upgraded version of the capacitor which allows your Power Stations to now produce twice the amount of power than they did before - for twice the price of course.
• Remote Doors: We have added a coloured variant of the remote doors for both Death Row and Supermax security levels.
• Riot Van Speed: Due to the efficiency of air-bound emergency units we have increased the movement speed of the Riot Guard Vans, to lower their arrival time.
• Super Dog Mutator: Due to our undeniable fondness of them, we’ve added a new mutator based on the Super Guard mutator which will help give our furry friends and upgrade.
• Updated Descriptions: After sweeping through the game we decided to update or add a number of new text strings. As such we’ve updated text for Item description, Staff descriptions, and also Need Descriptions.

With this update we have focused on improving the player experience as much as possible.
We thank you all for playing Prison Architect.

⯈ Community Message - PATCH 4.0.9d6c

Dear Innkeepers and Crossroads Inn enthusiasts,

We are truly humbled by the journey we've shared with you in the creation and development of Crossroads Inn.

It began as a spark of an idea over a pint of beer among friends, imagining what it would be like to pivot the traditional RPG scenario, making the inn the bustling hub of action, rather than a temporary refuge.

From the initial concept to our Kickstarter campaign, the full game release, Anniversary Edition, and Season Pass, we've been dedicated to relentless improvement and innovation, striving to overcome both minor bugs and complex coding challenges.

Through this journey, we've stretched the capabilities of our development engine to their very limits, which has facilitated the many updates and enhancements you've seen.

Let's take a closer look at all the things that have been going with Crossroads Inn on so far!

We've now reached a point where we've maximized the potential of our current development engine. Despite our best efforts, some bugs have proven resistant to our attempts to rectify them, and we understand that this may not have lived up to some players' expectations. We want you to know that we've given it our all.

⯈ ULTIMATE COMMUNITY MESSAGE
Given the constraints of our current development engine, we've made the difficult decision to halt further development of Crossroads Inn on this platform. Despite this, we are immensely grateful to all of you who have supported us on this journey. Your passion and dedication have been the lifeblood of this project, and we hope that you've enjoyed the countless hours spent managing your inns and crafting unique stories.

While we're concluding our current chapter, Crossroads Inn continues to be a project very close to our hearts, and we are excited about the potential for its future. We want to reassure you that the world of Crossroads Inn is far from over. Stay connected with us and our community. We've built something incredible together, and it's been an honor to share this adventure with you.

We recognize that we may not have met everyone's expectations, and for that, we sincerely apologize. We value your feedback and are committed to learning from this experience to improve and grow. We deeply appreciate your understanding, support, and patience as we navigate this transition.

We're confident that our future projects will continue to capture your interest and earn your trust. Our commitment to creating excellent gaming experiences remains steadfast, and we're excited to take our next steps, guided by your feedback and expectations.

The recently tested Beta branch has now been integrated into the main version of the game.

Thank you once again for your unwavering support. We look forward to continuing this journey together.
