Prison Architect is a video game by the British software company Introversion Software.

About

Prison Architect is still in the early stages of development, but hopefully after a few months, the game will be packed with tons of features and more players. Even though it is still fairly new, the game managed to get over 1000 sales in a matter of days. More people are buying the game, which is going towards its development.


Basically its a Prison Simulator and thoroughly addictive!

So I'm curious to see who else is playing the game and some design ideas they have?

I have re-designed my prison about 4 times already. Reaching different stages of development and hitting new walls, learning and starting again. The biggest thing I'm finding atm, is designing a prison that has enough space for mass amounts of prisoners to move (like shower time, and eating) and correctly balancing my kitchen/canteen sizes. The canteen is especially an issue atm... I need to almost make it central enough and easily accessible when 200+ prisoners descend at the same time to eat and then manage to get at least a 90% fed rate before the time is up (which is currently set to 2hours).

What im loving the most about this game is the challenge to design an efficient prison and slowly working ur way from holding cell, to individual cells and eventually maximum security.
 
i bought PA about a year back as i quite enjoy these sort of sim games. reminds me of awesome times with Theme Hospital and Dungeon Keeper :)

i guess i could have waited, as I prefer to not play Early Access until its properly released. Will definately be contributing to this thread once i start playing. any idea when its scheduled for full release ?
 
Not sure when the full release will be, but for a game in early access I was really impressed with how it ran. If I didn't know any better I would have thought it was the full release.
 
I've had it since Alpha 6 and been playing it since. Love this game and the developers. The way they keep you apprised of their goings on and plans are astounding. Kinda got busy with other games though around Alpha 17, but looking forward to their full release immensely.
 
Well yesterday I attempted to properly plan my prison. I spent a lot of time just with the planning tools and made a huge schematic of what I want my prison to grow into. Also for the 1st time I realised that you can stop prisoners from coming to ur prison. Before this I was constantly trying to manage the continuous influx of prisoners every 24hrs. Ill try put up some screenshots of my schematic and prison later this week.
