Hi Anthony –
(1) I think the vote by mail/in person early voting functionality will be a key part of the 2024 app. Elections have changed so much, without those modeling doesn’t make as much sense.
(2) The debate engine also could be fleshed out more. I think something dynamic like the old football manager simulations (not the match engine) would be useful here.
(3) Deeper demographics and voter blocs could be very useful with politics becoming increasingly nationalized.
If you need an extra set of eyes I would be happy to help out. Not an engineer, but in my company I manage a lot of developers so could do some PM work.
Reach out if interested.
Hi! Love the look of your project, both figuratively and literally, it looks like it’s 2008 again and I’m all here for it.
Hi there, was wondering when you foresaw the editor feature including being able to edit debate dates, or when endorsers could be edited as well?
Hi Mark,
Yes, Editor for PI 2020 will include debates and endorsers once it’s completed. I don’t have an ETA, but it’s the next (and final) major feature for PI 2020.
When will be the next update?
@Andres,
My best guess is sometime in Feb for President Infinity 2020.
@Anthony,
Sounds good, is an editor update planned for the latest phase?
@Daons,
Yes, the Editor is the top priority for President Infinity 2020 and Congress Infinity 2022.
@Anthony, Thanks for the update
Not sure if it’s a glitch or intentional gameplay but I have played a few scenarios now and the percentage set at the beginning for the leading candidate essentially matches the percentage they receive through Super Tuesday. This has made playing as the underdog underwhelming. Thoughts? Is this a user error on my end?
Is there going to be a 2024 campaign for this game?
I’ll decide on 2024 in the next several months – no decision yet.
