Hey everyone! I've received a lot of questions from many of you over the past couple of months wondering about the inclusion of certain key features, a release date, whether the game will receive post-launch support, and more. So, to clear the air on some of these questions, I'm releasing the official roadmap for The Electorate, with plans going as far as 2027!
This is a broad stroke look at where the game is headed, but it should answer some of the most prominent questions I've received. Yes, primaries will be included. Yes, you will be able to customize the elections that you play, from randomizing populations to changing voting rules to editing ideology groups and more. You'll be able to see your previous elections and stats. And, at some point, even play Career Mode, where you'll choose a party and run candidates in persistent elections, where each election result impacts the next.
But, as I've promised before, I want to include more than just the U.S. in The Electorate. From the roadmap, you can see that I've prioritized the inclusion of the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, and France. Each of these nations will showcase their unique voting systems, ideologies, behaviors, and more, and I'll be proud to bring them to The Electorate. I'd also like to hear your thoughts on this lineup, and what other nations you'd like to see at some point. For example, Brazil's elections are in 2026, and that would be an intriguing project to do, but take priority over other items on this list.
Meanwhile, I am exploring multiplayer support, but that is a project for another day in the distant future. For me, it's a "nice-to-have" but not a priority.
Finally, as I said in the previous Dev Log, I expect to make The Electorate available by the first half of 2026!
Thank you for your support!
