Miksi Early Access?

Mr. President will continue to receive substantial UI, feature, and content updates on a monthly basis for the next year or so. We would like to involve the community in the game's development so that we can create the best presidential simulation in the market.

Miten kauan peli tulee arviolta olemaan Early Access -vaiheessa?

Mr. President will be in Early Access for approximately 1 year.

Millä tavoin lopullinen versio tulee eroamaan Early Access -versiosta?

During Mr. President's development, we plan to make the digital version have feature parity with the paper version (2nd edition) and include additional digital-only features. The full version will include 100 additional Crisis Cards which will be delivered in subsequent updates as we build upon the initial Early Access Build. Also any missing gameplay systems from the board game such as Scandals, Nuclear Missile Tracks, and the remaining Crisis Chits and table roll entries will be included in the full version. The full version will also include two additional difficulties (Easier, Harder) for the Sandbox scenario.

Additionally, we plan to implement some special digital only features such as:
- Allowing for the player to select an avatar portrait to represent themselves in the game.
- A detailed Legacy screen summarizing all events that took place in a player's presidency.
- Steam Cloud Saves and Achievements

Mikä on Early Access -version tila tällä hetkellä?

As of Early March, Players are able to play through a significant part of a presidential term in the Sandbox scenario on Normal difficulty. This includes Actions (domestic, diplomatic, and military), Terror and Chaos, Wars and Civil Wars, UN Acts, joint and unilateral Ally Actions, Trade Agreements, Rogue States, Russia Acts, China Acts, Conflict Tracks, landmark legislation, the Nobel Prize, the Iranian and North Korean nuclear programs, Cabinet priorities, Summits, auto-save, and more!

Some players may want to wait until more features are in before trying or buying the game. Here are a list of features on our roadmap:
- The Summit and Sanctions player actions
- The lower-end actions for China and Russia
- Unilateral Ally actions
- Adversary actions (Iran and North Korea), and their Missile Tracks
- Part of the Missile Tracks feature is adding the two auto-loss conditions if either Iran or North Korea reaches full nuclear capability and becomes involved in any war
- Several of the Cyber Attack variations (particularly relating to Adversaries - once we add e.g. North Korea’s ability to advance its nuclear program, players need the Cyberattack option to disrupt it in that way)
- Great Society legislation: These are large-scale, transformative legislative packages that are harder to pass (they have to go through the process twice) but have larger impact, and aren’t repeatable
- The remaining Crisis Cards, Crisis Chits (particularly NSA and Good Times)
- The Chaos portion of Terror/Chaos in Activation Phases 2 and 3
- The State of the Union Segment
- Re-election for a second term as well as the Mid-Term elections
- Difficulties other than Normal (Harder, Easier)
- Exceptional White House Resource cards
- Scandals track and update procedure during the Legislative Segment
- New Year’s Surprise during the Begin Turn Segment (omitted due to low number of Cascade Cards at the moment)

Muuttuuko pelin hinta Early Access -vaiheen jälkeen?

Mr. President may increase slightly in price after Early Access.

Miten yhteisö otetaan mukaan kehitysprosessiin?

Through the Steam community forums and GMT surveys and social media channels, we will be gauging feedback on every update, and frequently polling the community for their reactions and suggestions as we continue to make the game more feature-rich and fun.
