Prison Architect

What can i say your an architect building a prison right there you go entry done have a good day. im kidding todays entry we talk about one of my favorite simulation gems prison architect.

this game offers both a campaign and a free mode i havent made it through the whole campaign but each chapter is pre set you just go along with it till you beat the chapter the real fun lies in free mode.

you start by picking the land size you want as well as the obsticals that you find on your land ranging from trees to old buildings to swamp lands from there you take that boring set amount of money and slowly work on building your lovely prison in hopes that you can make your prisoners happy.

well the happiness comes down to the player and prisoners you see you get to choose between 3 types of prisoners to accept into your new abode you have the low grade regular inmates that are identified by there grey uniforms then you have your regular inmates which you will notice by there proud orange uniforms and lastly you have the baddest of the baddest walking around max security in there red uniforms trying to instill fear in there digital warden.

now im not 100% sure how close this experience is to real life but i hope its close now your prison has a ton to offer your inmates as well as your staff me personally i like to have everything separated by a good distance i usually set my inmates to the north of my land and my staff to the south in hopes that no hostages are ever taken lol even though i havent seen anything yet would be cool though to see a hostage situation but im sure the devs are done supporting any dlc for the game.

Now when your setting up your prison you get the choice from 7 wardens i think it is each with there own agenda and effect to the prison me personally i always pick the peaceful warden he has a calming effect on prisoners. after the warden you get access to the research tree which offers a decent range of upgrades for your prison everything from a lawyer and there ability to make things more in your favor to a therapist to help prisoners talk of there issues to doctors, you also unlock janitors and ground keepers to keep your prison clean and tidy then you unlock secutiry upgrades which i feel is always fun you unlock snipers for your gaurd towers and k9 units and armed officers incase any inmates are feeling froggy and wanna jump.

you also get control over patrols assigning officers to specific areas as well as specific officers me i usually leave patrols to my k9 and armed units so that my prisoners know that im not playing around.

after your done with the basics of the prison you get to start building different rooms to help make life better for your inmates if your that type of warden you have a yard so they can hang out as well as a common room where they can watch tv you also could make a chapel or store and even a visitors center as well as the one room every inmate wants to see the parole room but most of these rooms work around schedules and thats the one thing i always failed at was trying to balance everything to keep them happy you see i am most definently a nice warden and try to make there time peaceful but im sure it will come down to your play style.

prison architect offers a wide variety of rooms and obsticles for you to play over and over and try to make the ultimate prison take it from me ive spent plenty of hours in the game and always enjoy playing it from time to time i hope you all enjoy and have a great day.
