The game is ready, the page isn't. An update.

THE GAME IS READY, THE PAGE ISN'T EQUILIBRIUM was due out in Early Access on September 10. It's the 16th and it still isn't on sale. Anyone with the game on their wishlist is looking at a page with a date that's already passed and no explanation. Someone thought it had been pulled from the platform. So let me be clear about what's going on. The game is finished. It hasn't been cancelled, it has…

Devlog #10 — September 10

SEPTEMBER 10 This is the tenth devlog and the last one before release. The first nine were written for people following the project while I built it. This one has to work for someone arriving now, who has no idea what they're looking at. So I'll start there, and anyone already here can skip the first part. WHAT EQUILIBRIUM IS You run a government. You pick one of forty-two nations and take it f…

Devlog #9 — The word that broke the game

THE WORD THAT BROKE THE GAME The tester types into the terminal: "Raise VAT by 3% on non-essential goods" The game shows: "Raise VAT by 3% on non-essential gAdriatic Energyods" WHAT WAS HAPPENING The companies in EQUILIBRIUM are fictional, inspired by real ones. There's a function that, if it finds the name of a real company in a piece of text, swaps it for the matching in-game company. The pro…

Devlog #8 — The economy had no income

THE ECONOMY HAD NO INCOME This week I found a flaw that had been there from the start, and that nobody — myself included — had seen. In the formula that calculates fiscal space each turn — how much room the State has to spend — there was no income term. Not one. GDP was growing. Reforms were working. The economy was expanding. But that growth never turned into revenue. WHAT IT MEANT IN PRACTICE…

Devlog #7 — When the State Can No Longer Pay

In most management simulators, running out of money means one thing: you lost, start over. In EQUILIBRIUM, running out of money is where the interesting part begins. Because a state that can no longer service its debt doesn't cease to exist. It still has something to sell — and someone ready to buy it. TECHNICAL DEFAULT When fiscal space drops below zero and stays there, the country enters tech…

Devlog #6 — The Time You Spend

In the last devlog we talked about what your government cannot do: the commands that treaties, the constitution and the law won't let you execute. This week we're talking about the constraint that remains even when you can do something. Because being able to do it doesn't mean being able to do it now, and for free. In EQUILIBRIUM every act of government has two prices. One is fiscal, and you se…

DEVLOG #5 — WHAT YOU CANNOT DO

The EQUILIBRIUM terminal accepts anything you type. That doesn't mean your government can do it. This is the distinction we spent the longest working on, and it's what separates a government simulator from an engine that executes orders. A head of government isn't an administrator with root access: they're a person seated inside a system of constraints — constitutional, judicial, international…

Devlog #4 — Your nation, not a generic nation

YOUR NATION, NOT A GENERIC NATION When we started testing EQUILIBRIUM outside Italian, a problem surfaced that had nothing to do with translation. It had to do with respect for nations. A Norwegian player was reading infrastructure costs in euros. A Japanese player saw their parliament called "House of Representatives" — a generic label in place of the Shūgiin. And the engine, asked about the t…

Your language, your nation, your currency

Governing is complicated enough already. Doing it in a language that isn't your own is even more so. Most strategy simulators launch in English, and those who don't master it are left to fend for themselves. With EQUILIBRIUM, we chose a different path. As of today, the game is fully localized into 7 languages: Italian, English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, and Russian. And when we say "ful…

Devlog #02 — The Terminal: write, don't click

You don't pick from a menu. You write what you want to do. In most geopolitical strategy games, governing means clicking buttons in a menu. Your options are the ones the developer planned for. That's it. EQUILIBRIUM works differently. You type your order in natural language, and the system interprets it, identifies the ministries involved and calculates the real consequences for your country. A…

EQUILIBRIUM is officially in Coming Soon on Steam. Early Access launches September 10, 2026. — What is EQUILIBRIUM? You don't control a character. You control a nation.
