Developer response from delosford

You can read about them on the site and forums? Yeah, I know it's not that great for now. On the upside, I am nearly finished with The Lobby. A small group of testers can currently play it.

Under rating threshold (show) At the end of the day your stress lowers by 25%

Developer response from delosford

25% is the base value, though the actual reduction varies by a couple factors.

Developer response from delosford

Thanks! Though really this is mostly to make up for the past rating fraud... I think we're earning our place there considering how the rating is going.

Under rating threshold (show) There anyway to lower stress besides drugs?

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Stress decreases in a chunk at the end of each day. The size of this chunk varies by various factors.

Under rating threshold (show) Can you make the game layout more "widescreen"? I have to choose between tiny text and scrolling all the time.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

I have plans to make the game interface only about 600px tall, but that probably won't happen for a while. It's difficult to just make a change like that due to the display on some screens.

Under rating threshold (show) so complex but ill try to play it to learn politics

Some of the complexity is hidden until Clout Tier 2, so don't worry about managing everything it talks about in the help files immediately.

Under rating threshold (show) Also how did I get the hacking screen when I just finished my traits(atheist,good looking and well educated)

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Probably double-clicked a button that submitted something to the server, and received a response for the second invalid submission, which appears to the server to be a POST spoofing hack attempt. Just reload the game and everything should be fine.

Under rating threshold (show) How do I become a civilian or a secret agent?

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

You wait for me to release The Lobby or Spook, respectively. Though some people are currently testing The Lobby, I'm no longer accepting new testers to the game pre-release.

Under rating threshold (show) why is atheism bad? Atheism hasn't murdered anybody

+ - !

(0)

Developer response from delosford

It's a negative trait in the sense that its overall impact on your ability to be a politician is negative (at least in the US).

Developer response from delosford

I can't draw, so this is about as good as it's going to get. Make sure you have the Impact, Times New Roman and Verdana fonts or your system's equivalent. Those will make it look better if you currently don't have them.

Jul. 25, 2014

Under rating threshold (show) Hey Q, have you ever thought of/would you be able to add some sort of colorblind mode? Or a way that would better distinguish blue from purple? It doesn't effect me directly, but my one friend has a type of colorblind and I figured maybe a few others (especially with the new wave of players) may have a similar problem.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

This has been mentioned before. The problem is that there are 3 main types of colorblindness and there isn't a color palette with 5 readily-distinguishable colors that fits the 3 types (some types don't even have 5 readily-distinguishable colors within themselves). It's a difficult problem to solve.

Under rating threshold (show) Apparently games made almost 2 years ago are considered "hot" and "new". That's ok though, since this overly complex interactive simulator of real-life politics enlightens me on how deep down, we're all scummy politicians.

+ - !

(125)

Developer response from delosford

Closer to 5 years ago. Luckily text-based games never get more dated. The advertising also coincides with the impending release of the first tie-in game for the world (The Lobby).

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Try looking at your shoes when you're asleep. Fairly difficult, isn't it? There are various things you can do when passed out, as the passout screen informs you.

Under rating threshold (show) Everytime i try to intro a bill the game goes black.

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Does it work anyway? Do you get any kind of message? Seems like nobody else is having this issue, so it may be related to your internet connection.

Magistro

Under rating threshold (show) "I have gathered all required signatures, agreements and documents required and will thus be forming a Conference Committee with respect to this bill!" I'm pretty sure someone else already pointed this out but there's one unnecessary "required" in that sentence.

+ - !

Developer response from delosford

Actually, no, you're the first person to catch that to my knowledge. I can only assume it came from the Department of Redundancy Department.

Stickies with more upvotes will float to the top. There's no downvote button because multiple downvotes into the negatives will make posts disappear. Considering only the SOTH/Qs can make posts in global, it didn't seem like a reasonable idea to let people downvote/remove the posts there.

What if your character dies? I was thinking more just the game name in Impact. Maybe I'll get some friend of mine to make some kind of art related to the game.

I'll look into it. It'll have to be some service that can do small-scale purchases, because I seriously doubt many people will be buying these.

Under rating threshold (show) TEXT BASED CLOTHING

+ - !

(1)

Developer response from delosford

Well, sure, but what would the text be? "Clout: you got your hookers and meth in my politics; no, you got your politics in my hookers and meth!"? I'm not really sure much of the game lends itself well to a quote on a t-shirt. I guess I could make an LED shirt that had an updated copy of The Clout Examiner, but that seems like it would be awful to configure. Here, let me just connect my shirt to your wifi...

Developer response from delosford

Here's the part you missed: my game appeals to everyone regardless of political affiliation, and it's actually funny. Neither of these things describe your shitpost. I also think it's funny that you just learned about the technical definition of liberalism and felt the need to share that vital and never-before-heard information with the rest of us. Though, if it makes you feel better, The Liberal Party in-game is the non-authoritarian left-leaning party in the game. But I guess you'd have had to actually play the game to know that.
