Hello! Thank you for letting me know about this issue, and I appreciate your kind words about the game. 

I’ve just uploaded a new version of the game, which should fix any problems with the “New Game” button. Please try downloading the updated version from itch.io and let me know if the issue is resolved.

Your feedback means a lot, and I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying the game so far. If you encounter anything else or have suggestions, don’t hesitate to let me know!

Thank you for your support, and happy playing!

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! I agree, humor is something I want to add to my game, but I'm still working on it. It can give the game a little more soul, as my game might feel too plain and complex right now.

It’s great to hear about your approach to building relationships and supporting fellow developers. I think that’s a valuable strategy, and it’s something I’d like to focus on more. Let's keep supporting each other on this journey!

Thank you so much! I agree that the game has a specific niche, and I understand that not everyone may find it "fun." There are still many things I’m learning, and I hope to improve over time. I also appreciate your kind words about the art, sound, and music. I noticed you make your own music—great work!

Thanks again for playing and sharing your thoughts!

Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. The point about "Unlocking Mechanics Gradually" is indeed something I’ve been contemplating. It’s a challenge to balance the complexity I want to offer with the limited time players might have and ensuring a smooth gameplay experience. I’ll definitely look into this further to find a better approach.

The game experience is delivered very well, and the game is genuinely funny! In my opinion, enhancing the graphics could make it even better. Overall, you’ve done an excellent job with this game, and I look forward to playing the full version in the future.

Hello everyone,

I wanted to share some exciting progress updates on my game, Presidential Rise. Over the past few months, I’ve been working hard to improve the gameplay experience based on player feedback and my own vision for the game. Here’s what I’ve been up to:

1. New Tutorial System

A major focus has been making the game more accessible to new players. I've implemented a detailed tutorial system that guides players through the core mechanics:

• How to manage requests effectively.
• The importance of political balance to prevent negative events like terrorist attacks.
• Strategies for maximizing profits through exports and smart infrastructure management.

This tutorial aims to make the learning curve smoother and give players the tools they need to succeed.

2. UI/UX Improvements

To enhance the overall experience, I’ve redesigned several aspects of the user interface and user experience:

• The Next Day feature now includes a skip option, allowing players to fast-forward up to 10 days, which can be crucial for strategic planning.
• Clearer notifications and information displays to help players understand the impact of their decisions, particularly around handling requests and infrastructure maintenance.

3. Balancing Adjustments

Balancing the game’s economy and politics has been another key area of development:

• I’ve standardized export fluctuation changes to 25% increments, making it easier for players to predict market movements and plan accordingly.
• Maintenance requests now come with clearer consequences for inaction, emphasizing the need for timely responses to keep infrastructure intact and profitable.

4. Game Over Tips and Strategies

I’ve added detailed tips and strategies that are shown during game over scenarios to help players learn from their mistakes and improve their strategies in subsequent playthroughs. This includes advice on export timing, resource management, and the importance of balancing various aspects of president.

5. Visual Updates

Visual clarity has been improved across the board. I’ve refined the look of pop-ups and notifications to make them more intuitive and visually appealing. 

Next Steps

Moving forward, I plan to continue refining the game based on player feedback. I’m particularly focused on:

• Expanding the story and events to add more depth to the gameplay.
• Introducing new request types and challenges to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging.
• Further enhancing the balance and mechanics to ensure a challenging yet fair experience.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback on these updates. Your input is invaluable in shaping the future of Presidential Rise.

Nice but you can make it more better. I can only buy Granite and Copper, I can't buy the others even though my money is thousands.

Thank you so much for downloading and trying out Presidential Rise!

It sounds like the game might be getting stuck on the Unity Analytics prompt. Could you try clicking the "Close" button on the popup? This should close the prompt and allow you to continue playing.

If that doesn’t work, please let me know. I'm currently working on an update that removes Unity Analytics, and I'll ensure you get a version without this issue.

I've just uploaded a new version of Presidential Rise that doesn't include Unity Analytics. 

Your feedback is incredibly valuable to me, and I’d love to hear your thoughts on the updated version.
