Democracy 4 is now in Early Access, and your people are eagerly awaiting (or dreading!) your leadership! So far the game supports English-language only on PC (but more languages are coming soon), and we have the following coutrnies in need of governing: The USA! The UK! France! Germany! Canada!

Not only does today mark the first Presidential election debate in the US, its just a week away from the launch into early access of our political strategy game Democracy 4. If you want to try your hand at implementing Universal Basic Income, or maybe you want to ban teaching evolution in schools, perhaps build a border wall, or legalize heroin, or go crazy with the money printer with some helicopter money or quantitative easing... these are all option

The latest installment in the geeky-but-popular political strategy game 'Democracy' series is coming to steam very soon, in a US election year no less. Just imagine how calm and peaceful our forums will be :D Its been 7, yes SEVEN years since the release of Democracy 3, and global politics has changed a lot. Democracy 4 takes the series into the modern age with new features like coalition governments, media reports, Quantitative Easing & He

We are releasing our second expansion to Production Line: Car Factory simulation on the 23rd October! This expansion is a cosmetic-only change to double (yes DOUBLE) the variety of car design styles in the game! You can now pick from 2 different looks for every car design in the base game (Sedan,SUV,Sports,Compact,Offroad,Pickup & Small van).

Hi, we have finally updated the windows build of the game to include an assorted bunch of fixes, optimizations and improvements related to the Unicode translation of the game which we undertook to allow support for Chinese and Russian languages. As far as we know, this should fix all issues regarding startup crashes or missing / corrupted text. We are now working on implementing those same fixes into the linux and OSX builds of the game. Sorry this has taken so long, Unicode is hell... For anyone who still prefers the build before we changed the text engine, there is a 'classic' beta still on

Hi, we know some users have problems with the game not starting, and others (often with low spec laptops) cannot see text. We just uploaded a patch to the windows version today which should fix these issues. As usual, please let us know (with as much detail about the problem and your setup) if the issues are not fixed. Thankyou for your patience, its really hard for us to track down stuff like this because we cannot reproduce it on any of our machines.

Hi, as I'm sure some of you know already, we recently released an update to the game to support Unicode text, allowing us to support some new languages such as Russian and Chinese. As a result of the new code, some players experienced problems with text rendering and fonts, making the game unplayable. We are deeply sorry for this. We set up the original (pre-Unicode) build under a beta called 'classic' which you can still access, but obviously this was no help to those of you who bought the game in the new languages such as Russian, Portuguese or Chinese. We have now (we are 95% sure) fixed th

Hi everyone! We just updated the windows build of the game so that its now the new unicode build, which means it supports a lot more languages. The new language list is... English German Spanish French Italian Polish Portuguese Russian Chinese Soon we will have the Linux & OSX versions translated over, at which point we will simplify everything into one build, and you wont have to care what language steam is set to. Please note we do not *yet* have French translations for the DLC, but everything else is in every language! MAKE SURE you have the language pack for windows installed for the langu

Hi all. As we did last year, we are commemorating remembrance day (veterans day in the US) and donating 100% of the developer revenue from this game to War Child for the next week. Democracy 3 is currently 20% off during the sale, and all our revenue goes to help children who have been affected by war.
