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.
However, the last 2 months have been difficult for our already small team — the coronavirus has not spared us and even completely paralyzed the work process at one time. Unfortunately, no one is immune to this. But rest assured — work is in full swing at the moment, and we don't intend to stop!
Many features from the future update are already being actively tested, so, it's time to tell you more about the progress made. In the next update, the game will include:
1. Lawmaking
The entire political system in the game will be represented by 2 levels:
* local, state-level, represented by the legislatures.
* federal, represented by the U.S. Congress with 2 chambers - the House of Representatives and the Senate
Each law is supported by a certain party. For more realism, in addition to Democrats and Republicans, we also added a third faction — Non-partisans.
Laws are adopted at all levels of government, respectively, you can influence all of them, having the required amount of "influence."
There are several ways to influence the law:
* Directly lobbying specific politicians through negotiations, providing them with "financial assistance";
* Use a new agent — Lobbyist:
