- Major Bug Makes Game Unplayable, DO NOT BUY - 7 October 2026
There is currently a bug that was caused by a Unity asset that we used for localization. The Unity asset has changed how it works and broke the old way we do localization, such that the game is currently unplayable. We are trying to figure out how to fix it, but the team disbanded years ago so it is taking time to talk to old team members and find out how to fix it. We do not know how long it will take, so we advise people not to buy the game until we announce the issue has been resolved. If you have bought the game recently please ask for a refund immediately.

- Pragmatic Victory Fix and Filipino Localization - 29 July 2020
Hey Everyone, We know we've been away for a long while, but we're back to address the pragmatic achievement issue in the game. I want to apologize for taking so long to get to it, but please understand that we are a small team with limited resources and we have to focus on the tasks that can keep us afloat as a company. We were also recently invited to join a local cultural event in the Philippines, and we decided this would be a good time to fix the issue as well as add Filipino localization. As some of you may know we are from the Philippines, and while most gamers here speak enough English that the localization actually not a good investment, we're proud to add it. I was excited to add it to the list of languages on Steam before realizing there is no checkbox for adding Filipino. :D Apologies once again to everyone who has waited on this fix for a while. If you see any future bugs, p…

- Ruinarch Launch Moved to August - 27 April 2020
Hello Overlords, While we initially promised a release date of May 2020, we’re sad to announce that we will be pushing back release by a few months, to August 2020. Even though we’re pretty evil, it felt a little bit tone deaf to be releasing a game about ruining people’s lives while the world seemingly falls apart on us because of the covid-19 pandemic. You won’t have to wait too long though, because we’re only moving the launch to August, by which point hopefully the world will be on the road to recovery (so we can wreck virtual worlds guilt-free). We’ll take that extra time to add more polish and content to the game so that you’ll get a much better game upon release. In the meantime to whet your appetite, check out this new and improved trailer we made! We hope it gets you as pumped up for Early Access release as we are! That’s all from us for now, stay safe, stay indoors, and wash y…

September 2015 I am at EGX 2015 for the launch of Prison Architect. The IVSoftware team have kindly flown me and my wife over to celebrate the launch, so I use this as a way to pitch our game Political Animals to publishers. I meet Cliffski for the first time and pitch the game to him. Within a couple of days he offers me a publishing deal. Anyone who has done a publishing deal before will know that this is an extraordinarily short amount of time to get a deal done. It helps that we got along and Cliffski is a o…
