Was requested by multiple players so I decided to add support for those platforms :) Please let me know if you have any problems in here or in the discord

Many players had problems connecting to the servers so I've spent much time to completely replace the old networking system with a new one that(hopefully) will perform much better steamhappy Please let me know if you have any problems in here or in the discord

New items!

Pickaxe: you will buy it off a new NPC that sells pickaxes for 1$ Coal: mine coal rocks underground to get coal Coal Pack: craftable by 2 coals Train Fix Kit: 2x coal packs, 1x screws, 1x oil - not hard to get

How to escape via train?

1) fix it 2) it will start moving with a big cho-cho sound that everyone on the map will hear 3) guards will try to come to knock you all out and stop the train - if guards stop the train you can just interact with it to resume it, no need to fix it again 4) when the train reaches the finish line, everyone around it will escape with it currently, I plan so the train will take 90 seconds to reach the end.

New

• New Floor - Train Rails - You can fix a train and start it - will take 90 seconds to arrive at the escape point.
• Pistol - Currently only available in the lobby, will be added to the game soon.
• Advanced Knocked-out system - You will be sent to the infirmary instead of getting up(prisoners will be sent to their cells at night).
• Item - Segway for guards - you can buy it from the guard shop, hard to control but fast.
• Map UI marking - now when you open the map you can see many markings on it - escape points, doors, fences, and much more!
• Hitboxes - now you can hit players in the head, body, legs, and arms instead of the general hitbox which was inaccurate.
• Rlayers can revive knocked-out players from their same role.
• Mini map for all floors of the prison - not just the main one!
• NPC in the train rails floor - you can buy from him a pickaxe and a pistol.
• Item - Pickaxe - use it to mine coal rocks on the train rails floor.
• Item - Coal and Coal Pack - a pack is craftable from 2 coals.
• Item - Train Fix Kit - use it to fix the train on the new floor.
• Added Crouching - Press X to toggle crouching
• Added Leaning - hold control+Q or control+E to lean left or right
• Now the X axis of the looking direction of players are synced, so for example, if they look up, their character will look up on other people's screen.
• System that allows you to have smooth combat with guns(currently only pistols).
• Now new custom maps will need an infirmary point to mark where the knocked-out players will be sent(for maps without an infirmary point, they will teleport to their start position).

Changed

• Open lobby settings key was changed from C to G.

Fixed

• There was a bug that prevented you from seeing most of the lobbies.

• Now you won't get any leaving penalty if you are in a game with 4 or fewer people(including you).

  - randomly generated, can have as many mazes as your want

Why I dropped the price only a week after the launch?

• As the game needs a lot of people to play together I decided that lowering the price is the best option for the game - hopefully, will bring more players.
• I did a vote on the discord server on what price you can afford and most of you chose 4.99$
• 
  

The price might rise in the future as I add more updates to the game.

When does the level editor come out?

I'm planning to release it on Friday but I might need to take another week to get it super polished, will try my best.

Update 1.1

Now you can sell skins in your inventory for diamonds

• Each skin can be sold for 1 diamond
• There is a warning dialog that shows before you sell
• Use shift to quick sell.

I bought the game at 11.99$(or with 10% discount) and I am mad!

I am very sorry, I know it's unfair but as a reward, I added 200 diamonds to all existing accounts - worth around 50$!

I am excited to announce my upcoming Prison Editor which will allow you to create your very own prisons and customize them to your liking. - Ability to change wall, floor, and roof materials, the possibilities are endless. - Publish your prisons on the steam workshop.

With my upcoming Prison Editor, you can design your own prison and challenge your friends to escape from your customized fortress. Stay tuned for more updates and get ready to experience the ultimate prison simulation game with my new Prison Editor. Let the games begin!

In recent time I added a lot of things to Prison Life 2 as we are getting close to release, prisoners will have craftable weapons(melee and ranged) to fight off the guards if needed.

The demo will start on Feb 6th and will last a week

• You will be able to choose your skin color.
• Punches will consume stamina.
• If you punch anyone near a guard you will become wanted.
• Slingshots will be craftable and there will be 2 versions - wooden and metal - metal will have more uses and will do more damage.
• Many cool visual effects and sounds that improve the feel of the game!

[ 2023-01-28 13:50:51 CET ] [ Original post ]

Hey everyone! I added interactive guides for Prisoners and Guards. It will help you get the basics of the game - looting, crafting, cutting fences, using bombs, and digging for prisoners. And for guards, it will explain how to search, arrest, use batons, use tasers, search storage, buy more searches, do daily tasks, repair fences, and more. (btw the whole guide is translatable so expect it in your language ) I'm thinking about if to make the tutorial required to play, I might make a vote about it soon on discord. Don't forget to wishlist the game :)
