    I love Prison Architect, but I have absolutely 0 trust in Paradox, as they stand today

    I really dislike the new look. The first one had a simple but sleek aesthetic, this one just looks cheap and generic.

    It’s going to be interesting to see how well integrated the 3D and multi-story management is going to be.

    I really liked the first game but I can’t say I’m confident that this will be too enjoyable, unfortunately.

    I liked the first one alright but I remember it being a bit easy, and putting it down for rim world, a much more challenging game in the same vein. Guess I’ll wait and see on this one.

    Fingers crossed this is good - I love the gameplay of the first one but the graphics kind of put me off

    I think the artstyle is ok in a vacuum. It does look bad if you look at it as a direct sequel of prison architect 1. As for paradox, it would be a new low for them if they managed to fuck up the performance for this game by releasing it early, the only problem I can really see are bugs and they usually aren’t gamebreaking (for the pdx games I’ve played at launch - c:s2 and vic3). I just hope it isn’t treated as a cash grab by the higher ups. As long as they don’t release it before it is ready the game will be fine, but we know paradox will crunch the developers to release early. I’m mainly just worried about the dlc.

      Idk I think the new art style is good. They probably didn’t want it looking like Rimworld anymore and wanted to have 3D for the verticality that was lacking in the original.

        Prison Architect predates Rimworld. Rimworld got shit for “copying” PA when it first came out.

        See the FAQ for the Rimworld Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/tynansylvester/rimworld/description

        It looks a lot like Prison Architect. What’s up with that?

        Blame my (Tynan’s) lack of art skill - especially with characters. I made the character art you see in the trailer as a stopgap, and borrowed the Prison Architect style because I’m not a good enough artist to develop a new one. They were never intended to be final. With this Kickstarter, we’ll be able to get a real artist who can sit down and develop an original style for RimWorld.

        I’ve talked with the original Prison Architect artist, Ryan Sumo, and he’s fully supportive of RimWorld. We didn’t share any art or code with the PA guys.

          Oh, seems so. I always thought they just had the same art style through a coincidence or something. IDK where I got that

        That’s what I was trying to say. It looks good if you don’t view the new game as just “more prison architect 1” instead of an entire new game
