Greetings, world leaders! We have excellent news for you today, as the new instalment of our franchise, Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond will have a free demo available as part of the upcoming Steam Next Fest, from October 14! Therefore you will soon get to experience all the improvements it brings to the established Realpolitiks series systems. Some of the biggest changes are coming to the warfare mechanics, and we have prepared a detailed devlog discussing the changes.
Suffice to say, not only will you be able to fight on land or in the air, but your military and reconnaissance activities in orbit and even on the surface of other planets will be just as important on your path to total Solar System domination!
You can read all about the new warfare systems here, but we have also recently shared a deep dive into the similarly expanded political layer - including the influence of political parties, the RPG-like systems for individual politicians, the role of your country's Constitution, the new "Way of Life" mechanic and much more. All that can be found here. We would love to know what you think about the changes in the upcoming sequel, so you are cordially invited to join the Realpolitiks HQ Discord server to chat directly with the developers and fellow aspiring world leaders. We cant wait to see how you conquer the stars! Happy strategizing! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2298690/Realpolitiks_3_Earth_and_Beyond/

Greetings, world leaders! We have amazing news for you today: Thanks to our work on the new sequel, Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond, we have been able to incorporate some of the newly developed tools and technologies to Realpolitiks II, fixing a major issue that we have not been able to address before - the dreaded time-freeze bug. This will prevent any new occurrences of the bug, but if your game has already been affected by it, you may unfortunately have to load an earlier save or start a new game, as not every save file will be fixed. Besides squashing this major bug, we looked into minor rebalancing of AI and other small fixes as well. We will be looking for even more opportunities to use the tools and engine upgrades newly developed for Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond to improve the original games as well. We hope to prove to you that the development of the new game is good news for the franchise overall; while we are pushing the series forward with the new installment, we do not want to just forget about its roots.

New Details about Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond

Greetings, world leaders! Today is an exceptional day, as we have two important announcements to make. First of all, we are working on a patch for Realpolitiks II. We are confident that we have found a way to exterminate the "time-stop" bug many of you are all too familiar with. Please stay tuned, as we will have more information regarding this soon. With that in mind, you are cordially invited to our Realpolitiks HQ Discord server, where you will be the first to learn all there is to know about this new development. And the second exciting piece of news today is that we can now officially confirm that a new instalment of the franchise is in the works, and closer to launch than you might think! [previewyoutube=mh1u9ckgrVQ;full][/previewyoutube] Realpolitiks 3: Earth and Beyond will open up a whole new frontier for all aspiring heads of state.

Hello everyone! The time has finally come! After many delays, unexpected setbacks, last-minute bug discoveries, tears and coffee in equal amounts, hours of QA and dramatic mental breakdowns we are finally able to release the long-awaited update that was previously scheduled to go live on April 8th. This is an important announcement for all current Realpolitiks II players, since the update will make your save files unplayable. As weve previously stated, a few of the most severe bugs were rooted deeply within some of the most basic game mechanisms. While this update brings some much needed improvements for the games quality, it turned out to be impossible to keep the old saves compatible with the new version. This is why we would like to inform you in advance, so you can plan your current games accordingly. On the brighter side, besides an incredible amount of fixes, the update brings in some new and exciting content such as the highly anticipated post-apocalyptic campaign we were all really excited to work on. We hope that you find it fun as well! The update will go live tomorrow, April 30th between 4 and 5 pm CEST. Once again, we wanted to thank our amazing community for bringing us new ideas, constant feedback and endless support. There is no doubt we wouldnt have been able to go this far without such great players.Were looking forward to hearing your impressions! Best, Jujubee Team https://store.steampowered.com/app/1248060/Realpolitiks_II/

Greetings Brethren! The time has finally come - stars have finally aligned as was foretold and our brotherhood is ready to step out of the shadows! Secret Government is leaving Early Access today with a new update. To celebrate this occasion, Secret Government will be available with 10% discount during the first week of the launch! So waste no more time and go ahead and grab the game right now - world is waiting for your guidance! https://store.steampowered.com/app/946990/Secret_Government/

Hello everyone! We have an announcement regarding the big update that was scheduled for release today. As mentioned before, its a huge update that deals with some of the most severe bugs in the game and its something the development team has worked on really hard for the last month. We really wanted to bring it your way as soon as we could; unfortunately, just as we were coming to a close of the testing process we have stumbled upon a rare, but quite impactful bug. The team did its best to diagnose and eliminate it, but it seems that we werent able to pinpoint its causes accurately enough to get rid of it completely in this brief period of time. We know that you - our community - were more than patient with us during those past few months and we hate to tell you that we need to delay a feature once more; however we feel that this is the best choice, with the alternative being rolling out a release that can potentially introduce a new, serious issue. For now, we havent had the time to gather enough data to give you a new estimated release date for this update. We will inform you of any news as soon as we can. Once again, thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Hello everyone. Today were coming to you with two announcements regarding the future of Realpolitiks II. Let us open this message by saying that even though its not always explicitly apparent, we always listen to all of the community voices with utmost attention. We are aware that Realpolitiks II has been a troubled release and some of the bugs youve encountered were deeply rooted in the way we approached things at the very beginning of the production. We know you have anticipated this announcement and so we have come to the same conclusion some of you have already voiced here, on this channel, multiple times: we are postponing the final release of the game until May 12th, 2021. This will allow us to not only polish the game and, more importantly, test it thoroughly with the help of a specialised company, but also prepare a way better release for you and all the future Realpolitiks II players. The other announcement were less eager to make is the fact that with the upcoming update thats scheduled to go live April 8th, your old saves will not work anymore. As much as we tried to avoid it, we need to resolve underlying issues that are causing some of the most troubling, game-breaking bugs that are causing some players to be unable to enjoy the game. We know some of you have put many hours into playing Realpolitiks II, but as weve previously stated, some of those problems date back to the beginning of the development and to fix them we need to make some fundamental changes in our systems. Each way of preserving your saved games we have tested out was impossible to implement without introducing new, severe optimization issues. At the same time we would like to assure you that the upcoming update is one of the biggest ones yet, including not only much needed fixes, but also the previously announced post-apocalyptic scenario along with other content that was planned for the full launch. We hope that you receive this information with understanding and as always, we thank you for your overwhelming support and help in making Realpolitiks II the game we wanted it to be throughout the whole Early Access period. Best regards, Jujubee team

Hello everyone, We have some news regarding the release date of Realpolitiks II outside of Early Access on Steam. To cut the long story short, we are pushing it a little bit further - to the first half of April. The ones who have joined our Discord channel, know that our developers regularly communicate with the players; new patches to Realpolitiks II are released steadily every few days, with a brief break in the midst of the Holiday period. Thanks to the continuous support of our community, we were able to pinpoint more and more rare bugs and issues we are confident we can fix, if given more time. Currently our main focus lies on optimizing the game as much as possible, fixing the bugs reported by the community and introducing some quality-of-life updates. Weve also received tons of incredible feedback with some really great ideas and suggestions regarding various improvements that we would love to include in the final release. In conclusion - we simply want to make sure were releasing a truly polished game the strategy fans deserve. At the same time were trying not to feed into the crunch culture that plagues the gaming industry. Thats why it is unavoidable for us to push the release date of Realpolitiks II a bit into the future. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful community. You guys are the best. Thank you for understanding and for your continuous support. Cheers, Realpolitiks II Development Team
