Hi, I really love this game, but im disappointed to see that there is no Escape mode for console. Have you considered adding it? If so, when? Because many people on PC are loving it, I don't think it would be a wise dissission to leave it out for console.

You guys should add a multiplayer mode where it's like escape mode and half of the players would be prisoners and the other half would be guards

Do the prisoners lose traits over time depending on their behavior? I've put some of the more dangerous prisoners, or ones that committed murder inside the prison in Supermax and I've noticed that traits have disappeared. Most of my guys in Supermax are now only stoical. I just dropped one to medium security cuz his only trait was quick and I remembered him having more, that's why I put him there.

Firstly, great job on this game. I bought it for the Xbox One and I am loving it. However there are a few questions I have about missing features, and I am wondering you will be adding them at a later date.

1) No boiler or radiators on the Xbox version.
2) No ability to click on a prisoner and send them to their cell or solitary etc or change their security level.
3) When building rooms, when you move your cursor over a wall the item you had selected changes to a door every time. I know this is a small gripe but it is very annoying.

D11_Nat 2016-07-04 14:12:44 UTC #319

Hi Ankari,

I can answer those for you!

1) They're not in the game I'm afraid- we didn't include everything from the PC version and added some features of our own, so will notice some differences.
2) You can totally do that! On Xbox I believe it's X when you're hovering over the prisoner to access the Prisoner Options menu. To send them to solitary, navigate to Punishments. To change their sec level, navigate to Security.
3) You've got your items sorted by room type, so when you leave the room it'll change. Just hit X from the objects menu to change the type of sorting filter. If you're doing the same item across lots of rooms, don't filter by room as it will change every time you hover over a wall!

this didnt help. Did i have to have a Double ID for it to register me or something?

D11_Nat 2016-07-04 15:12:40 UTC #321

Hi @Jakertanker, If you bought the game in Xbox Game Preview, then yes you need to have your Double ID account setup and connected in-game to get the DLC content. You won't get a notification, it'll just show up the options for extra wardens/plots/prisons when you start a new new game.

Jakertanker 2016-07-04 15:15:55 UTC #322

i have that, i mean did i have to have a Double ID prior to the game's full release? As i didnt make one until the game was fully released.

D11_Nat 2016-07-04 15:41:13 UTC #323

Now THAT is a good question. I'll get on to dev and find out for you.
