Road to Release

Hi all!

You might have noticed that I've officially set the release of The Electorate for October 27, 2026!

This has been a long journey, and I'm so excited to finally get to share my work with you all.

A few notes about release:

  • I'm confident that the game will be complete for an October 27th release, but any delays will be short, and announced by Early October. If I, for some reason, feel like I need to push the game back, it would release no later than November. It would largely be last minute bugs that would prevent the game from releasing on time, so please bare with me there.

  • The game will be $24.99 USD, with a 20% launch discount.

  • I will be very active during launch week to squash any bugs and ensure the game is in a good state.

  • I plan to continue developing The Electorate, with hopes to eventually expand to new countries, create new systems, and more!

Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive and have followed along since the beginning. I am extremely grateful and hope the game is everything you hoped for and more.

Over the coming weeks, expect to see more videos and content.

Before I sign off, leave your guesses in the comments for the candidates in this 2028 Democratic Presidential Primary:

Thanks,

Matt

Today we're covering the events system. Events are important for creating immersion and adding replayability to campaigns. In The Electorate, events can come in a wide number of forms. Scandals, rogue journalists, campaign staff whistleblowers, town hall Q&As, interactions at a rally, and even assassination attempts.

Today's dev log is all about the media system, one of the more complex and dynamic systems I've built (and still building) for The Electorate. As we all know, the media has a major impact on election cycles. The first competitive US election was in 1796 between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. One of the key features of that race was the use of newspaper outlets to smear or promote each…
