Hello, Plutocrats!

December 22, 22:30 GMT everyone, who backed us on IndieGoGO from the pledge ‘Become the first’ and over, is going to get a code and an invitation on the Discord channel (alpha testing thread) through email.

Besides, the giveaway winners will get access to the alpha testing. We’re going to post the winners’ nicknames on December 22, 16:00 GMT.

On the Discord closed thread, we'll be discussing the game development together. There will be the alpha testing rules - please, follow them!

We’re eager to your active participation and assistance.

Let the game begin!

The alpha version official date is coming December 22

Breaking news, future plutocrats!

We are delighted to tell you that the alpha date is defined at last before the early access release on Steam! As mentioned before, that’s going to happen on December 22 i.e. on Christmas Eve.

We’re going to send one to all the backers who backed us on IndieGoGo by purchasing a special reward that covered the opportunity of being the alpha tester.

Besides, the alpha testers will be getting all the next updates automatically since it’s going to be the Steam version code.

Attention! Also, we feel like running a giveaway on December 22 in order to give 2 free alpha keys: 1 alpha key will be given away randomly among those who give a thumbs up or leave a comment ‘I want to be a Plutocracy alpha tester’ for this news, the next one will be given away among the Discord community who leave a comment like that.
We have great moderators so we want everyone being friendly in the chat.

On December 3 an alpha test thread will be created on the Discord community where’s going to invite the alpha testers.

According to your feedback, the devs team will be fixing some bugs or something like that and forth the early access will be released on Steam.

When’s going to happen?


As mentioned earlier, the alpha test will be run a month before the early access release on Steam

Seeing the end of the year and some Steam verifications, the most appropriate date for the early access release is February 7. As for the price, the early access price is $24.99, the full release price is $29.99.

When the early access is available on Steam, we’re going to drop the keys to everyone who backed us on IndieGoGo or pre-order Plutocracy. You can pre-order Plutocracy now for $14.99 if you haven’t made it yet. You need to use IndieGoGo by clicking the link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/plutocracy-a-pc-game-about-wealth-power#/

To sum up, we want to thank everyone who leaves comments and feedback! Stay with us and stay tuned! There is not much time left before secret manipulations and political intrigues will be available to the gaming community!

Work on the main soundtrack of Plutocracy is complete!

Hello, friends!

We were taking up the game musical accompaniment simultaneously finishing the alpha version to test. Now we have ended the main music theme of Plutocracy.

You can watch an excerpt from the recording studio of our composer Alex Bright as well as listening to the main theme in our blog: http://plutocracygame.com/soundtrack

Waiting for your comments.
