We will continue to work on fixes to make the game better. Thanks to those who supported us in Steam reviews and left messages about bugs, or development suggestions, this is important for us.

We are still working on the game because we want to implement all our ideas. Honestly, it was not easy to decide to release the unfinished game, but your support and perseverance made us do it. We hope that you will be sympathetic to the fact that the early access doesn’t have all the game things that we want to implement.

At the moment, the game has only tested game mechanics - for example, politics is still being developed. Furthermore, we haven’t added more languages, voice acting and Mac OS and Linux version.

So, after the early access release, we are going to add different new game stuff including multiplayer and campaign. And from now on, you can start taking part in the game development by getting all updates.

We got a great community! We will be glad to see your reviews and any constructive suggestions for improving the game.

See you soon!

Hello!
We have good news - last week, finally we have completed the verification of the game on Steam, and after fixing the shortcomings from Steam, we were at the finish line!
Officially, the early access release date is November 21, 2019! Less than 3 weeks left!

We were not able to avoid some troubles like all developers - we were putting off the release date several times. But, while we still had resources, we were trying to make the game as good as possible.

November 21, we are waiting for the transition to the next stage!
Thanks to everyone who supported us and believed that it would happen.

Hello, everyone!

We are pleased to announce that we have recently sent the game build for verification on Steam. We are currently waiting for the end of verification to inform the exact release date of Plutocracy.

In the meantime, we are keep going to develop the game by adding lots of new things there. We will update the alpha version again in the next few days for our alpha testers.

This time we added the opportunity to improve your game avatar through the knowledge system.
Knowledge points can be obtained by fulfilling various requirements and then spend them of your choice.

You can improve your economics skill to get more competitive advantages to improve your companies.
Or use them to boost your diplomacy skill in order to negotiate successfully as well as getting other skills related to diplomacy.

Do not miss the announcement on the alpha test thread on Discord to get a fresh build.
