Introversion announces new features that will be part of
Prison Architect
when the strategy game officially breaks out of Early Access on October 6th. The
game will include a brand new story, as well as a new Escape Mode, and
this video shows
an EGX presentation where Chris Delay and Mark Morris introduce us to these
additions. Here's a bit on how the game will allow you to channel your inner
Andy Dufresne:
Prison Architect opens with the story of Edward, a man
facing the electric chair for committing a crime of passion. Introversion have
extended this with four additional chapters focusing on different characters and
aspects of prison life. From Mafia Dons to power-crazed senators, Prison
Architect brings these characters to life. Introversion teamed up with
award-winning professional writer Chris Hastings to produce an enthralling tale
of corruption and human misery set against the background of the modern prison
industrial complex.
Escape Mode sees the traditional Prison Architect gameplay turned on its head.
Take control of an individual prisoner, load any of the tens of thousands of
prisons uploaded to the Steam Workshop and get on with the important business of
escaping. Earn experience points by shanking a guard, form up a posse of
rough-necks and head to the armory to shoot your way out or steal some tools
from the workshop and start digging a tunnel hidden behind a picture of Raquel
Welch.

Hat's off to the New York Mets, as my hometown heroes actually managed to clinch
the National League East title yesterday, securing a trip to the playoffs. It
was certainly not how I expected the season to go, but between the continued
development of a young pitching staff, some great mid-season trades, and an
admittedly weak division, the team managed to play well all season, and is
heading into the playoffs with a good head of steam. As Casey Stengel used to
say, amazin'!
