Secret Government - Next Steps
[ 2021-04-19 14:29:04 CET ] [ Original post ]
Greetings Brethren,
As you are probably aware, Secret Government left Early Access on April 15th. Many of you supported our studio by purchasing the game and offering constructive criticism, for which we are grateful.
However, the games journey is only just beginning.
Secret Government is an extremely ambitious project. If youve played the game even for 30mins, you know that every action can have thousands of ramifications the complexity of the mechanics is massive.
When a game has this level of complexity, its practically impossible to look through all possible cases and iron out all of the details through internal testing. Even with hundreds of thousands of game hours, we still wouldnt be able to straighten out every kink and catch every bug. We tried to overcome this hurdle through the Early Access program, and it helped greatly. Thanks to your feedback, we made a huge amount of fixes and tweaks. But despite our very best efforts, despite the extensive testing, there were things we missed - things we could never catch, due to the sheer scope of the game.
And thats at the core of the games main criticism.
Our goal here is to be as transparent as possible, and explain to you what we intend to do to solve these issues.
Going forward, well be addressing all of the new bug reports that are coming in. If you encounter an issue, please follow the instructions in this post.
Right now we are gathering all feedback and issues you have met, and preparing a patch that were planning to release in a few days. We hope that with this update, your satisfaction with the game will increase. Once the issues with game stability have been addressed, and it will be easier to understand and enjoy, well continue to expand it, making the tutorial more comprehensive, adding new campaigns, and drilling even deeper into the mechanics to give you unparalleled control of your brotherhood and every aspect of the world in which it operates. This has always been our goal.
Secret Government is a passion project for us, and we want to share with you the game that weve been developing for the past four years.
We hope youll be willing to continue supporting Secret Government as we keep working tirelessly to bring you a game that youll enjoy for many years to come.

Secret Government is a grant strategy game about a secret society. Remaining unseen, they have been ruling mankind for hundreds of years. Your role will be not to just lead any particular country or region, but the Brotherhood: a centuries-old organization that works in the shadows and manipulates the entire world. Pull the strings of fate as you influence the present and future on a global scale, reconstructing the whole world to your liking.
Strategically manage your agents running errands in different countries and infiltrating government institutions to strip countries of their resources and seize control over decision-makers. Your choices will change the internal and foreign policies of countries.
A desire for power and wealth is not the only thing that drives the Brotherhood. It strives for a complete rebuilding of the world.
Beginning in the 17th century, you start making your own history, where in each mission of the game you will interfere in the main conflict of a certain period.
In the Early Access version, you will take part in the Glorious Revolution in England. There you will face a hostile secret organization. Its methods are similar to yours, but the goals are completely different, and you have to figure them out.
You need to act slowly and carefully not to raise the awareness of your clout in the country. You will otherwise be exposed and lose the level of influence already gained in this very country.
There will be plenty of diplomatic, economic and military actions at your disposal. Pay close attention to the domestic politics of each country. If the ruling party’s ideology is very different from the views of various classes and estates, if tax levels are too high and public order too low, then expect a revolution. Or maybe this is what you seek?
You cannot impose your will on the rulers - your manipulations in the game are indirect. You do not have the power to order a monarch to declare war on a neighboring country, but you can plant your agents in the right places, provoke deterioration in relations by indirect actions, arrange a border incident and bring the countries to a military conflict.
We hope that you will spend many enjoyable hours exploring how the world works with Secret Government! Join the Brotherhood!
