Friends, we invite you to take part in testing the political update. As promised, now you can personally test the new functionality that our team has been working on in recent months! With the new update, the game takes on new facets! Now the public, represented by politicians at the federal and local levels, will oppose you, putting a spoke in the wheel with antitrust laws, restrictions on the inhuman use of your workers' labor, and of course, raising taxes! Only a true plutocrat will find a way to put pressure on power and make his monopoly above all laws! At the start of the beta version, more than 10 laws are already available.

Hello everyone! After the announcement of the political update, we continue to receive messages from you with questions: “- Well, when already?!”, we answer - in the first quarter of 2021. Those maximum until March 31 (probably earlier), you can try out the functionality on which we have worked so hard recently.

Hello everyone! We planned to release a major update before the end of December, which was supposed to include the political system and several other features, so, we thought it's right to focus all our efforts on this and not release minor updates.

Build 0.193.0

Hello and welcome to our new heading where we will answer the questions you sent us some time before!

We decided to launch a new experimental beta branch for users. It will contain content for future updates so that you don't have to wait long for upstream updates. If you want to see a more stable version, you can wait to update the main branch of the game without downloading the beta version. We decided that it would be better to choose because the beta is updated more frequently, but it is still experimental. It may contain content that will not be presented in the main branch, that is available by default.

It's been a while since the last dev diary but here we are again, we got some interesting changes coming that we want to tell you all about.

Build 0.192.5

Build 0.192.0

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since the last diary, sorry about that, we just wanted to wait until we had something new and interesting to share with you, which we finally do! Here’s what we’ve worked on in the last month and what’s in the next update, which is not far off.

Build 0.190.0

Build 0.189.2

Two weeks went by fast and now it's time to tell you about the new things we’ve worked on for you during this time.

Recently we've been thinking about how we could improve our own interaction with you guys. We think dev diaries would be a good start.

We are breaking our long radio silence with good news! We have completed work on the economic part of the game. Frankly, we didn't expect to be so stuck in this. 11 different mechanical developments during the whole time! And spent a lot of time on this part of the game. And finally we are satisfied with it.

It has been more than 2 months of the development and you still have not got any updates. Actually, we feel like fixing it! First of all, on behalf of all the devs, I want to calm everyone who cares about the game release – the development is going ahead and does not even stop on weekends, it really tires us out! We needed to get our thoughts together and immerse ourselves in the game development at 100%; as a result, there was a delay in updates. We would not like to say one thing and do another one! What's new? and what kind of troubles have we run up against?

Hello, everyone! The patch #3 is ready. Go to update, guys! What's new? It's partially implemented the political system.

Hello, there! We're gonna release a patch #3 at the end of this week. So, what's new?

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.

Hello, friends! We have taken up the game musical accompaniment simultaneously finishing the alpha version to test.

Hello, guys! We are currently busy 24/7 trying to end the alpha-version of the game as soon as possible. That’s our main task! But we see that we must keep you in the picture about the status of the game development, and be open for you hence we decided to release our own newspaper “Plutocracy News”.

Greetings, friends! Today, we feel like sharing with you some game development news that's bringing to an end. As you know, we've already been working on the one for 2 years, and we do wanna bring it to the world:)

Today we'd like to tell you how a player is able to affect the game world "Plutocracy". An agent of influence are one of key characters of the game. We wanna present to your attention a character who embodies the whole spirit of the wild west of the Gilded Age of America.

Hello, friends! We've collected 90% of the goal! That's the good news! Left just a little bit to implement our thoughts. Let's do it! We've 4 days left.

Hello, friends! Today we want to tell you a little how the game diplomacy is arranged as well as how a player will be able to interact with the characters. Every character has got unique features that look like duality. We live in a world where there's good and evil, light and dark. So, we want to put forward that idea through the character's features and beliefs.

Dear, friends! We've got over a mark of 50% of the campaign goal thanks to your support and help! Each contribution is essential for us! We've made a new art in honor of crossin' the line of our campaign. Free 4k download over here

Hello, friends! Let's take our mind off political intrigues and economic indicators of the market and talk about the attractive, seductive and sometimes mystical world of the wealth and luxury. Luxury is a brilliant companion of all the rich. We're interested that a player felt a billionaire's life so we've made a collection of rare and expensive items in the game: rare coins, paintings by famous artists, yachts, aircrafts, cars, mansions and estates, thoroughbred horses, antiques.

Hello, there! We've made a system for generating unique characters with distinctive features of appearance to simulate the economy, politics and human relationships in full. It means that you won't come across two absolutely identical characters as in appearance and on the other features. Despite the fact that there are thousands of them in the game...

Hi, friends! One of the key roles in our game is the political system. Plutocracy appears at the intersection of big business and politics. Our game simulates the interaction of big business and politics as well as their influence each other. And how ultimately it affects the welfare and economic prosperity of countries.

Hello, friends! In the game of big capital, there are temptations get even more capital by using dishonest and dirty ways. That is why punishments are being used as the system of checks and balance. Police chief, district attorney, judge are responsible for investigation of crimes and imposing punishments.

Hi, friends! It's time to talk about the game way more. First and foremost we'd like to thank the first backers one more time who supported us and gave confidence that the game "Plutocracy", we're working on, is interesting and unusual. Today, we'd like to talk about an essential part of our game that stands it out from games a similar genre, that's mass media.

On May 7, we're going to launch an IndieGoGo campaign! The campaign duration is 45 days and the minimum funding goal is $ 15,000. You can look at the campaign page here: Plutocracy on IndieGoGo.

If you want to reach the success in Plutocracy, you should negotiate with the characters. We've paid attention to the fact that as much as possible to bring the gameplay negotiations to real. The game has more over 15 K unique characters that have different personalities and features. Each character has self confidence, the ability to convince and use counter arguments that are limited by patience.

We are on Steam
