Conspiring in badge company 🎖️

[h2]Hello fellow co-conspirators![/h2]

One of the ideas that excites me the most about Shadow Government Simulator is the fact that you can control nations as well as individuals with equal ease. I mean, you know you've made it as a secret society when both nation and kings bow before you. I've always wanted the game to reflect that and for you to be able to gain abilities from the countries you conquer.

Believe it or not, that already exists in the game! However, it's complex and hard to see, much less remember what powers you've already acquired. I'm revamping the whole system, but one of the more important things is also the simplest: badges.



That top ribbon collects a badge for each power/update/ability you unlock. These are aquired by completing quests (check out our last newsletter to hear ALL about those!) and conquering nations, They practically represent your expanding power as you take over society. So, for example, completing the quest "Control Western Africa's military" will give all your units +1 bravery for the rest of the game (and a cool badge).

Right now they are simple stuff: "give +1 charm to your HQ" or "get +5 funds each turn"; but I want to expand them quite a bit. There's a lof work left to do, from making a screen where players can choose the abilities, to getting in more complex effects. It'll take me a while, but the infrastructure is there and I'm ready!



[h2]Discord Challenge[/h2]

Last week our @AI swooped in and rescued the challenge by proposing we try our hand at the hardest game on the internet Notpron. This collection of puzzles is infamosuly obtuse but, amazing everybody, the Illuminati managed to get all the way to level 50 🤯 (You can try it yourself, but be warned)

A new challenge will start on Monday; and if you like cars and crime, you'll like this one. Join our discord to check it out!


Happy conspiring!
