Devlog From Behind The Bars #18 Guards - friend or foe?

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!
This time we’re shining the spotlight on the people who make sure your prison “staycation” doesn’t get too comfy… the guards.

Guards




They patrol the halls, they break up fights, they yell at you for no reason (or at least it feels that way).
But in Prison Survival, guards aren’t just background - they’re a whole faction in the prison ecosystem.



We’ve added different types of guards, each with their own quirks, routines. Some are strict, some are lazy, and some might even look the other way if you’ve got the right connections.

Friend or Foe?


Here’s the twist: guards aren’t just enemies. They can be allies too. Sure, they’re the 4th “gang” in our little prison world, and yeah, they’ll happily bust you if you’re up to trouble…



…but bribe the right one, run errands, or simply earn their trust, and suddenly you’ve got protection, privileges, and maybe even a guard who “forgets” to lock a door.

It is not easy to be a prison guard. But you wanna try? Play Prison Simulator - i heard it's a good game ;)

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #17 Prison Cells

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

Time for another update straight from the cell block!
In this devlog, we’re going behind bars (literally) to talk about… prison cells. Yep, the cozy little rooms you’ll be calling home in Prison Survival.

[h2]🛏️ Beds, Desks & More[/h2]
We’ve been working hard on building the furniture you’ll find in your cell. Beds, desks, lockers – all the essential “I-live-here-now” items (no gaming consoles, sorry)

And yes… the bed is technically for sleeping, but let’s be honest: it’s mostly for plotting your next great escape. 😏



[h2]🧻 The Legendary Toilet Paper[/h2]

It’s not just hygiene - it’s sometimes a currency, it’s treasure, it’s a symbol of hope. Collect it, hoard it, trade it… just don’t ask how it got so valuable.



[h2]🎨 How We Made It[/h2]
We put extra love into creating the assets for your prison life:

Beds that look just uncomfortable enough
It’s the small details that make the cell feel alive (or at least survivable)!

You can see a progress in this short gif

[h2]🚪 What’s Next?[/h2]
Next time, we’ll share more about life outside the cell – yard time, trading, and maybe a little chaos in the cafeteria.


Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #16 Prison Gangs

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

Gangs


Here’s the deal with the gans in prison: you’ll need to work with other gangs… and sometimes fight them.
Maybe you’ll trade protection for favors, maybe you’ll get double-crossed in the cafeteria - but hey, that’s prison life.

The balance of power shifts every day, so you’ll need strategy, charm, and a little chaos to make it out on top!!



Do you want your own gang? You got it! Wanna take over another gang?
That’s on the table too-though we’re still figuring out if it’ll be a feature.

Hidden BOSS




And speaking of bosses… meet one of our standout characters:
Don’t let the silver hair and slick glasses fool you. This guy is the definition of a gangster. He can plan a twisted plan while sipping coffee and making the entire prison think he’s harmless.

More screens of how we made him:


And after a polishing:


Remember: white hairs in prison ALWAYS mean something!

Create your own gang?


We know that players loved creating characters and gangs in Prison Simulator, so we want to take that idea and expand it in Prison Survival. More gangs, more customization, more ways
We’re cooking up crazy prison events, gang wars, and hilarious NPC interactions that will keep you on your toes.
Stay tuned for more sneak peeks!

Take care, inmates!

Devlog From Behind The Bars #15 - Contraband and trade

Hello Prisoners!

Stand up! Be quiet! Your fav CO is speaking! ;)

Welcome back to another devlog for Prison Survival!

First of all – HUGE thanks to everyone who's currently participating in the playtests! You're helping us a ton, and your feedback is pure gold!



Prison trading


So yes – in our game, survival isn’t just about keeping your head down and avoiding bad looks. It’s also about making connections. Trading snacks for favors. Swapping meds for smokes. Smuggling in that “very illegal but very needed” item past the guards without getting your face reintroduced to the floor.

Trade in real prisons is a whole ecosystem, and we’re building our little prison system too!



BUT! In the current playtest, this system is only lightly represented. Think of it as a little teaser - just a taste.
The real dirty deals are coming in the demo and the full release, where we’ll be introducing deeper trade mechanics, more contraband "items", and more “creative” ways to sneak them past the guards.

Remember "Freeman" from the last devlog? He is one of the traders!

Let’s be honest, what’s prison life without a little chaos and a guy trying to sell you painkillers wrapped in toilet paper?

Catching with "stuff" can occur in worse punishment than ever!

Thanks again for playing, testing. More devlogs soon!

Take care, inmates!
