Will our Name In The Game prisoner's be transferred and available for the console version or anything related to it?

Are you asking about PC name in the game characters? If so, then it's totally separate so I'm afraid not. If you're talking about out Name In The Game competition or the console edition pre-order bonus then could you be a bit more specific with your question? :slight_smile:

Ah! I'm starting to understand what's going on now since before I was confused if Name In The Game characters were going to be transferred from the PC version or if the ones who bought it for PC (like me) get a free key code for the console. I searched deeper through related topics until I heard about the pre order Name In The Game bonus opportunity :yum: I assume that chance is no longer available from the looks of things lol

Well the title has been out for three months now so we're a bit late for pre-orders I'm afraid! Name In The Game is closed for console but we're bandying around the idea of opening it up again at some point, so keep an eye on here or twitter.

Hello, this is from someone who has bought this game on pc and console, buying it today I wash absolutely shocked to not find escape mode anywhere in the game. Escape makes up a huge part of the game on pc and not including it makes sharing prisons almost useless.

The developers have claimed they may add it if there is demand and I just want to express my extreme disappointment at seeing this feature dropped from a game that seemed to have a solid if long development history. There are no other extra features on console that make up for it and it feels incomplete and something I cant recommend without it, for all the times I have felt that the devs came through they really dropped the ball on this one.

I'm sorry to hear about your disappointment yayay. Was there a question you'd like to ask the developers or would you just like me to pass on your feelings?

This was just the thread it sent me too when I searched for it, just in response to the discussion above, also is it still updated? Will we get watchtowers?

What can i do to lower the smuggling because i cant stop it the prisoners get every time drugs weapons and all the stuff even after a hole prison search

Hi @xDark013,

Here's my advice from another thread on contraband levels:

Yeah it's just one of those things. If you've got a prison with a lot of work spaces that the inmates can legitimately access, you're always going to have high contraband. There's no way to really stop it altogether unless you remove access to the contraband. Plenty of metal detectors, guards, regular shakedowns will keep it under wraps but it will always be high. I'd maybe recommend having a look at the Contraband menu and seeing what the common items are. Maybe they'll point out areas where your security is a little more lax.

The prison I'm currently playing has VERY high contraband levels but I'm also pretty secure and the inmates are all happy so there's no big drama :smiley:

Here's the thread3

2 questions 1. What version is the Xbox 360 version in? 2. My credit score (for bank loan) is at 0 how do I get it back up?

  1. I will find that out for you today.
  2. You need to pay off your loans! Only way I'm afraid :slight_smile:

I'm pretty sure you can you just need to wait a while before the bank will lend to you again. I've never had my rating shot so I'm not 100% but everything I can see in notes and on guidance suggests it's the case. Give it a day or two in game and then try again, let me know if not and I can do digging.

Also what version is the Xbox 360 on currently? And I always get a legendary prisoner with cop killer trait in my first intake Why does this happen?

Is this game still in active development? We are missing a lot.

10 days later

i jumped back on the game the other day because i ant played in ages and still no update are they still working on it

I think this is the last version of prison architect they will ever make..............NUUUUUUU- I'll just buy the PC version

Bart told me that the console build is around alpha 35 while the last alpha is 36 its been months without a update so maybe we will get escape mode in 8 years when they do 2 more updates.
