Thank you for everyone who’s supported us since we released on May 2nd! Just because we released doesn’t mean the updates are over though! We have been seeing your feedback and are addressing points from it as we speak.
We’d like to use this space again to show what’s coming up on our update on May 16th!
First off we want to say we have heard the requests to add more candidates. In response, we have been working hard to return a handful of candidates from previous iterations back into the fray in this update! As a teaser, some of the Democrats out of the set of returners this update are Jimmy Carter and John Kerry!
And that’s just a small tease - look forward to additional Republicans, Democrats, and Independents that are to return as well. There will also be a couple of new candidates that are being introduced for the first time!
In this update we have also added the ability to edit and save your custom candidate’s titles and descriptions! Seeing what people have been able to do with our customizer on the Workshop has been amazing and we wanted to give players a tool to further personalize their candidates.
These titles and descriptions are also saved when you upload a candidate on the workshop! For example, take this candidate made - Macy Appler.
Macy is no longer is confined to just being a Presidential Hopeful and can express herself as a Mac and Cheese Enthusiast. As silly as this candidate sounds, the theming was specific because I needed a transition point for the next feature to announce:
Speaking of Mac, we have heard discussion posts wondering about support for the platform. I’m proud to say from this this update on May 16th onward The Political Machine 2024 will also be able to be playable on Mac!
Our candidate work won’t be done with just this update alone, we’d like to hear your thoughts on what candidates you would like to see in a future update! Post it in replies, discussion forums and chat channels for who you would like to see.
We’d like to thank everyone again for your support on The Political Machine 2024 release and post-release!
