Never had an issue with the money, myself.

I thought the game had this thing where eventually you would get more prisoners then you had the ability to construct more prison and hire more personel.

They must have long fixed it if you had no money problems.

They added a new feature back in... alpha 2, I believe, where you can disable the constant influx of new prisoners. The game now only sends you as many prisoners as you have space for. It's a toggleable option during map creation, so you can still enjoy the endless stream of new convicts if you really want.

Money's still an issue, but it's less of a problem when you aren't facing a half-dozen new prisoners each day.

Yeah, they fixed that a while back. It's a lot more enjoyable now that you don't get 20-30 prisoners a day

Back then the only way to continue was to intentionally make your prison terrible. Since your only source of non-starting income was the little the prisoners got you.

Also, you can designate everything as a workshop and collect big bucks.

How long until someone mods in Superjail?

this game should've been Superjail Architect from the beginning

And then suddenly everyone starts fighting with powered tools. Wonder how that could happen.

So how do you handle 'dead' prisoners? Prisoners that are no longer active. They dont roam, their needs dont change.

He probably meant before you get prisoners.

If memory serves, you can select them, right click on a cell, and a guard will come to escort them to that cell.

It's a bug.

Oh cool. Wii bit click intensive, especially since the medical ward makes them all zombies.

The devwiki seems to have died under the strain, so I'll have to wait a day or two to get it.

[Aklyon]

That guy on the release announcement thread certainly has a point about the diff files. It would help the devwiki withstand longer.

I purchased the alpha within 3 days of release. I'm not very happy with the decision - while the game was initially fairly amusing due to bugs, as they implement more and more "features" the less entertaining it is. I will not be downloading Alpha 4, and will not be returning to the game for a while.

By large, B12 forums are largely pro indie gaming, but I think people need to step back a second and look at the larger picture. Introversion is a company which has had some commercial successes, and has been actively selling their games for the last 10+ years. I've personally purchased multiple copies  of Uplink over the years, and have recommended it to dozens of people. But the way I see it is an established studio is crowdfunding their latest game, and I don't like it. Why are we doing this? Why do we heap praise upon an established studio aspiring to release a game with less polish than other competing indie games?

I think we as PC gamers are sending a strong message to developers right now.

That it is okay to sell an alpha as a product as long as the word "indie" is somewhere near your name.  I don't want to be stuck in a world where all the PC games are perpetually "in development" or "in closed alpha/beta". No wonder why many big studios are shying away from PC gaming - AAA games sell for $15 6 months after they come out because of low sales, but yet everyone throws money at games which may be in paid alpha for multiple years.

As a consumer I think right now we're getting a pretty raw end of the deal. We get unfinished and buggy tech demos in lieu of finished games, big studios continue to abandon or ignore the PC market, and the overall price point gets worse and worse.
