Check out the Prison Architect simulator in this crazy video: Title: Prison Architect Alpha 21 In the latest showcase for Prison Architect Alpha 21, the developers dive into various enhancements and features that elevate this prison management simulator to new heights. The video features an engaging discussion about the game's updates, including the integration of a comprehensive language system that makes it accessible to a broader audience. Now, players can easily select their preferred language directly from the main menu, streamlining the experience for non-English speakers. One of the standout topics in this video is the introduction of a new drug addiction mechanic. The developers explore how drug-related issues affect prisoners within the game environment. According to their new features, prisoners can arrive with existing addictions, and the availability of drugs within the prison can lead to further substance abuse. This mechanic adds depth to the game's simulation, offering challenges that require strategic management to prevent chaos within the prison. Another highlight is the implementation of a full-fledged medical system to address drug overdoses. When a prisoner overdoses, a doctor must be summoned to provide immediate care, adding a level of urgency and realism to the gameplay. The video also addresses prisoner reactions during riots and surrenders, which enhances the strategic elements of managing a prison. Players can now control how different security groups are managed throughout the day, allowing for tailored schedules that can mitigate potential conflicts. Lastly, the developers announce exciting plans for Alpha 22, where the focus will shift to debugging and refining the game's mechanics based on community feedback. This proactive approach aims to ensure that the game not only grows but becomes more stable over time.
