Video della alpha 32 di Prison Architetc, titolo da diversi anni disponibile nella sezione Accesso Anticipato di Steam che non è ancora arrivato alla release definitiva e non si sa bene quando ci arriverà a questo punto, visto che lo sviluppo di novità continua a ritmo feroce. Il filmato come al solito mostra molti minuti di gioco con cui gli sviluppatori illustrano le novità introdotte con la nuova versione. Vi ricordiamo che Prison Architect è un titolo esclusivo per PC.

00:03Hello everybody, welcome to the Alpha 33 video, I am Mark the Morris Morris, producer, entrepreneur, anything else?
00:18I don't know, I don't know what else I am, and he is Christopheles the Great, creative director, and Greek
00:28God.
00:31Christos Nortos Christopheles.
00:35By the beard of Zeus he's made another game.
00:39Alright, well that was one of the worst intros I've ever had the displeasure of recording.
00:45I think I might still be drunk from last night.
00:49Definitely not still drunk, but I'm feeling it, definitely feeling it a little bit.
00:54I am feeling it, it was a good day yesterday, we had a board meeting yesterday.
00:56For those of you on Facebook you'll have seen the hilarious video of Chris moonwalking across TJ's new floor.
01:02It's all gone wrong for TJ.
01:04Thanks for posting that, even though I told you not to.
01:08Yeah well you see, part of the reason that I'm trying to push the social agenda is to give our
01:14fans a closer feel for what it's like to be in the company of Christopheles the Great.
01:20An insight into the wild happenings at the average inter-ogen board meeting, where who knows what could happen, Chris
01:28could moonwalk, or maybe play a guitar.
01:31Yeah well, this is going to become a meme mate, you're going to have to start thinking of something to
01:37do at every board meeting.
01:40Some sort of Star Wars kid type meme.
01:42Yeah, to keep the interwebs entertained.
01:45Was that the first ever meme?
01:47Which one?
01:48Star Wars kid.
01:49Oh absolutely not, no, absolutely not.
01:51No, no way.
01:51That's got to be like Charlie bit my finger or something, right?
01:54Oh yeah.
01:55From YouTube.
01:56Like one of the first ever videos.
01:58When there was nothing on YouTube other than that one video of Charlie biting some kid's finger.
02:03Yeah.
02:03That was the only thing you could watch back then.
02:05Yeah, yeah.
02:06So you know, everyone watched it.
02:07Things haven't changed though, it's still, it's mostly cats now isn't it?
02:10Yeah.
02:10But Charlie was a cat, wasn't it?
02:11I don't fucking know.
02:13Was he?
02:13No, it was two brothers wasn't it?
02:15Wasn't it two boys, one on one biting the other's finger?
02:17Oh that's right, yeah.
02:18Yeah.
02:18I'll show you how little we know mate.
02:20We just lost half the audience.
02:22We weren't paying attention.
02:23I don't know, millions of people watch Charlie bit my finger, so maybe we'll get, you know.
02:26Get in on some of the action.
02:27Maybe we should get Charlie bit my finger to sponsor Prison August.
02:34We couldn't look them up.
02:36And now, a celebrity endorsement, it's Charlie from Charlie bit my finger.
02:43He was on TV, Charlie bit my finger.
02:46They've grown up now, obviously.
02:48That does happen, yeah.
02:50They've grown up.
02:51Anyway, enough of this meandering nonsense and let's get down to some meat.
02:56Some meat.
02:58Alright, shall we have a look at some new features, shall we?
02:59Yes, this is Alpha 33, if you can believe it.
03:02It is.
03:02It's 33, isn't it?
03:03It's unbelievable.
03:04Yeah, I know, I know.
03:05We say that every month though, so...
03:07Well, it is actually unbelievable.
03:08We're approaching three years now.
03:10It's getting silly.
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:11Getting very, very silly if you ask me, mate.
03:14Alright, let's have a look then.
03:15Let's have a new room type, shall we?
03:17Let's have a new room type.
03:18Alright.
03:20And this new room type is called the mail room.
03:23Okay.
03:24Alright, so I'm going to plonk down, I'm going to use this space here that hasn't been used
03:27yet.
03:27I think we used this previously to demonstrate the intake room.
03:31So, you know how we sort of scream constantly, this isn't an American prison?
03:38Yeah.
03:39And everyone on the internet goes, yes it is.
03:41No one believes it, so I've stopped trying.
03:43Yeah, is that why you've called it the mail room?
03:45Yeah, what should I have called it?
03:46Her Majesty's Post Office.
03:47We don't have mail in the United Kingdom, do we?
03:49We have Post.
03:50Well, we have the Royal Mail, but not every country has Her Majesty as the Head of State,
03:54do they?
03:54That is true.
03:55That is true.
03:58Yeah.
03:58What do we need in our mail room?
03:59Oh, we need some sorting desks.
04:01These are actually the sorting desks.
04:02These are from, these are a privacy seen in the library.
04:05Okay.
04:05They're the same thing.
04:06I like those lights, those little lights, proper old school.
04:10They're good, aren't they?
04:11Yeah.
04:12I think I need to do some shizzle here as well.
04:15Like, maybe I need to lock these open.
04:17Is that a technical gaming term?
04:19Ah, some shizzle, yeah.
04:20Shizzle.
04:21I can't remember if this room is sealed off or not.
04:23Right, what I need to do then, so your prisoners can work in the mail room.
04:27Okay.
04:27So if I go to logistics and just assign some jobs in there, it's currently set to staff only,
04:32so I need to un-staff only that zoom.
04:35Yep.
04:35There we go.
04:37There we go.
04:37So we've got our jobs.
04:40And I need to wait for my workman to build it.
04:41So mail then.
04:43So this is like, what would you call it?
04:45The post office?
04:46No, mail room's fine, mate.
04:48Well, you tell me.
04:49What better name do you have?
04:52The post room.
04:54The post room.
04:55All right.
04:56Well, we'll ask our community, shall we, whether they prefer mail room or post room.
05:00We'll have a vote.
05:01We'll have a vote on this sort of thing.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Luckily, we don't practice democracy here at Interversion Day.
05:06No, we don't.
05:07No, we're here to defend democracy, mate.
05:09Not practice it.
05:10Not practice it.
05:10No.
05:11Oops.
05:12I'll have to cut that out.
05:15So what happens?
05:16Right.
05:16So mail actually arrives at 6 a.m.
05:17So I'm just going to accelerate time to 6 a.m.
05:23Here we go.
05:24God-like powers.
05:25Yep.
05:26God-like cheat codes.
05:28Got a bit of a backlog.
05:29So your mail room is essentially a sorting room for incoming mail, right?
05:32Yep.
05:32So we'll wait for some to arrive.
05:35Your mail arrives in, like, big post bags.
05:38Just like a random mix of all the posts for all your prisoners.
05:41There we go.
05:42Yep.
05:42Okay.
05:42So you can see we've got some unsorted mail bags down here next to some potatoes.
05:47Yep.
05:47And some sheet metal.
05:49Yep.
05:50All sorts of things that prison needs to run.
05:52Yeah.
05:53It's nice.
05:53It feels like we've got quite a mature game system now.
05:56We've got kind of, like, a lot of the systems are in place.
05:59Like, the way the mail room works is slightly analogous to the way the library works, for example.
06:02Yeah.
06:03We have a kind of incoming set of materials that work when automatically pick everything up and move it around.
06:08Starting to get some frameworks into play.
06:10Yeah.
06:10Well, I wouldn't say starting, but definitely...
06:12Yeah, yeah.
06:13It feels like there's plenty there for us to work with now.
06:18Yeah.
06:19So it just gets brought in, and I don't think the guards actually do anything with it, because it's the
06:22prisoners that run the mail room.
06:24Okay.
06:24So this is a mail satchel, right?
06:26These come in too.
06:27So satchels are kind of, they're analogous to the laundry baskets in the laundry room.
06:32Okay.
06:32You know, they're like a carrier, right?
06:34Yeah.
06:34It's used for the mail delivery service.
06:36Right.
06:37So we just need to wait for some prisoners to come and work.
06:40So none of the staff search the mail bags?
06:43They will do if you tell them to.
06:45Right.
06:45So you can, I mean, like anything, you can always search everything, can't you, in your deliveries
06:50area, like that, if you're feeling that way, that way inclined.
06:54Yeah.
06:55Do we have contraband coming in through the mail system?
06:57Oh yes, yes.
06:57I hope so.
06:58Any system in the game, any incoming system generates contraband now.
07:03Right.
07:04So there's, there isn't any separation.
07:06Yeah.
07:06So even like these ingredients that are arriving and these uniforms and the sheet metal.
07:11Okay.
07:11It's all potential hiding spots for contraband.
07:13Right.
07:14Okay.
07:14In fact, I can cheat and I can say all contraband and I can actually see all the contraband that's
07:18hidden.
07:19Okay.
07:19Yeah.
07:19Yeah.
07:19And you can see that there, what is there?
07:21I just did a search, so we've got rid of quite a lot of it, but these uniforms have
07:24got a bottle of poison hidden inside them.
07:26Yeah.
07:26There's some cigarettes hidden in the potatoes here.
07:29Yeah.
07:29And this prisoner is carrying a hammer.
07:31Which doesn't say very much for the security of wherever he came from.
07:34No.
07:35No.
07:35Does it?
07:36Yeah.
07:37Right.
07:38So prisoners are working in the mail room.
07:40It takes a long time, right?
07:42So the mail only arrives once a day, so you get a big old backlog at six in the morning.
07:47Right.
07:47So you can see what they're doing is they're gradually unloading mail from the mailbags and
07:52sorting it into stacks of sorted mail and then loading the sorted mail into these mail satchels.
08:02Yep.
08:02Okay.
08:02Delivery satchels.
08:04Mail satchel?
08:08You want to rename them to delivery satchel, do you?
08:11No, you can call them mail satchel, that's fine.
08:13I'll just work on my own Morris mod.
08:17Yeah.
08:18The Her Majesty's Royal Mail mod, in which red post boxes appear all around the prison.
08:25Yeah.
08:25I don't think Her Majesty's Royal Mail deliver into prisons.
08:28Might do.
08:29I bet they do, mate.
08:31Do you think it's farmed out to a private company?
08:34I think they'll deliver to the prison door, but I don't think they'll go in and...
08:37Right, yeah.
08:37I see what you mean.
08:38Yeah.
08:39So this guard is actually carrying one of the mail satchels now.
08:42Okay.
08:43Into the shower.
08:44Yeah.
08:45He's going through the shower.
08:46He's taking a shortcut.
08:47Alright, what's he going to actually do with this?
08:49Well, he's going to deliver mail.
08:52I mean, that's what you'd expect.
08:54That is.
08:54That is.
08:56Brilliant.
08:56That's pretty cool, that, right?
08:57Yeah, it is cool.
08:58That is cool.
08:59The guards do the delivery.
09:00Yeah, the guards do the delivery because, in this case, it's a zone where the prisoners
09:04couldn't get to.
09:05Okay, okay.
09:06So the prisoners working in the mail room couldn't get there.
09:08Or do the guards always do delivery?
09:10Hmm.
09:10Maybe we need to phone Gary Chambers and ask him.
09:12Shall we call him up?
09:14No, let's not call him up.
09:15Given the problems we've had today, mate, with our internet connection breaking and microphones
09:20not working.
09:21Let's not touch anything.
09:22I don't think we want to risk anything.
09:23Don't touch any of the dials.
09:24I agree.
09:25I'm not even convinced we're recording at this point.
09:27So we'll just have to roll with it.
09:31Right.
09:32So do the prisoners, are they happier when the mail is delivered to them?
09:36Yeah, yeah.
09:36So when they get mail, they've got needs, haven't they?
09:38Yeah.
09:38So if a prisoner reads some mail, it gives them a little bit of a boost to his needs.
09:44His family need is well tweaked.
09:47Yeah.
09:47And a little bit of comfort and recreation, I think, is gleaned from mail.
09:53So it has a positive net effect on your prison.
09:55Yeah, of course.
09:56It's one of those nice big logistic systems that you can choose to invest in or not.
09:59Yeah, absolutely.
10:00for a small benefit.
10:01Yeah.
10:01With the colliery being that you have to think about contraband and things like that.
10:07Yeah, of course.
10:07Lovely.
10:08Lovely.
10:08It's a nice little addition.
10:09Yeah.
10:10All right.
10:11Let me just check.
10:12We're actually recording.
10:13Yeah, we are.
10:14We are actually recording.
10:15Yeah.
10:16We might not be now.
10:17It's one of those Heisenbergian uncertainty things, you know?
10:19When you check your recording, you might break the recording.
10:22You break it.
10:23Yeah.
10:23All right.
10:23Let's talk about a bigger change, shall we?
10:26Yes.
10:27Last month, we...
10:29Was it last month, I think?
10:30We looked at a horrible prison, didn't we?
10:33We did.
10:34I remember.
10:34A horrible, horrible prison.
10:36From the darkest depths of a deeply disturbed mind.
10:39Yeah.
10:40Maybe I can find it.
10:42No, maybe I can't find it.
10:44Here, this was it, wasn't it?
10:45Yeah, look at it.
10:47And this prison was remarkable because it was kind of like the ultimate end point for abusive
10:52players, wasn't it?
10:53Yeah.
10:53Yeah.
10:53Every prisoner, locked up, solitary doors outside, no furniture in their cells.
10:58Yeah.
10:59Horrific.
11:00But actually, and the prison temperature are basically 100 degrees.
11:04Yeah.
11:041,200 prisoners out of 1,200 pissed off.
11:06But it doesn't matter because the prison is so locked down.
11:09Yeah, that's a press.
11:10When you've got the guard count.
11:10I mean, the guard count is insane, right?
11:12Yeah.
11:12Guards with shotguns just rolling through here from, you know, whatever, you know?
11:16Yeah.
11:16And that's what you have to do if you want to run a hellhole like this.
11:19Yeah.
11:20Well, I felt bad.
11:22Right.
11:22To be honest.
11:23I felt bad.
11:24And I thought we needed to, we needed some balance.
11:26Right.
11:27To this.
11:27And so I instigated the opposite end of the spectrum to this, which is a concept of prisoner
11:33privileges.
11:34Right.
11:35So I'm going to load a different prison now.
11:37Let's say this one.
11:40So, since the dawn of time, since Alpha 1, prison cells consisted of a two by three
11:46zone.
11:47Yeah.
11:47With a bed and a toilet.
11:49Yeah.
11:49Hasn't it?
11:50Well, no more.
11:51Right.
11:51Well, because there was never any point in building anything more than that.
11:54Yeah.
11:54It didn't do anything.
11:55Now in this particular prison, he's built some bookshelves.
11:57Well, they didn't do anything recently.
12:00Yeah.
12:00They didn't do anything at all.
12:02And so he was wasting his time.
12:03Well, now they do do stuff.
12:05And in fact, many things can improve the quality of a prisoner's cell.
12:09Right.
12:09So if I zoom in on a cell, the toolbar will tell me I could, if I was so inclined,
12:14build
12:14an office desk or a chair.
12:17Yeah.
12:17Or a bookshelf or my own shower for each of these cells.
12:20Yeah.
12:21Or a television.
12:23Right.
12:23Or a radio.
12:24Yeah.
12:25We could put TVs in all these guys' cells.
12:26Just like this.
12:28Now previously, you could do this.
12:29And it was a bit crap because they would use the TV.
12:33and they would gain some entertainment need from that.
12:36But there was nothing beyond that.
12:38Yeah.
12:39But now I've tied it into a bigger concept of privileges.
12:44Now if I explain by showing you a new logistics screen called cell quality.
12:51Okay.
12:51All right.
12:52Now here's all the cells in our prison.
12:54Okay.
12:55And you can see that they've all been graded on quality.
12:58Okay.
12:58The second number out of each of these represents the quality of the cell.
13:02Okay.
13:03So this for example is a quality grade one cell.
13:06Because it doesn't have anything special.
13:08Yeah.
13:09Associated with it.
13:10Whereas this one is a grade three cell because it has a bookshelf and a chair.
13:14Okay.
13:14And in fact this list tells you the things that count towards a good cell.
13:17So a bigger cell like nine squares in size or even bigger 16 squares in size.
13:21is a four by four prison cell.
13:23Right.
13:23Would count as positive scores.
13:25And having a window facing the outside counts as a positive.
13:29Right.
13:29Yeah.
13:30Yeah.
13:30And so all the cells in your prison are now graded.
13:33And you can.
13:34What was the minus one?
13:35I saw when you were zoomed in there was a minus one.
13:36Well you see the number on the left skipping ahead slightly represents the quality of cell
13:42that the prisoner within this cell deserves.
13:44Oh I see.
13:45It's not minus one.
13:46No.
13:47It's a minus.
13:47It's a placeholder.
13:48Yeah.
13:49Sorry.
13:49I shouldn't have drunk that last thought.
13:51It doesn't matter.
13:51It's fine.
13:52So that's the one that did it in for you.
13:54Yeah.
13:54That was the problem.
13:56So to go with this.
13:58All prisoners now have a recording visible in the tooltip of their number of days without
14:03incident.
14:04Okay.
14:04So you see this prisoner here has gone for two days without incident.
14:07What a hero.
14:08Yeah.
14:09Two days without causing a fight.
14:12And most of these guys around here have.
14:14And in fact most of the guys in your prison when you load up in Alpha 33 will only have
14:18one or two days without incident because we haven't been recording that data until now.
14:23Yeah.
14:23Okay.
14:23So it will only start going up from now.
14:25Yeah.
14:26And at the moment the game works on a simple mapping that the more days without incident
14:31that your prisoner has achieved the better quality cell he will be due.
14:37Right.
14:37All right.
14:37So in the room quality screen you can see you've got guys here who well you see you've got
14:44some cells over here that are graded at level four for example.
14:47Because they've got an outdoor window and a bookshelf and a chair.
14:50And they have a prisoner in there who's worthy of a grade five cell.
14:54Right.
14:54So it's up to you if you want to.
14:56You don't have to.
14:57But you can for example.
14:58Here's what the best quality cells look like.
15:01Here we can see a quality ten cell.
15:04Right.
15:04And it has in it.
15:05Look at that.
15:06It's got fucking Leander in it.
15:08It's got.
15:08What is Leander in a level ten cell?
15:10Get the fuck out of this level.
15:12Oh.
15:12He shouldn't be in a level ten cell.
15:14No.
15:14And no.
15:14He will no longer be in a level ten cell.
15:16I'm sending him to solitary for that.
15:19That's an outrage.
15:20Right.
15:21Look at him.
15:21He's got his own shower in there.
15:22I bet I'm in there and I bet I'm in a level minus ten cell.
15:25Oh.
15:26You can't get a minus score but I understand what you're saying.
15:29I bet Leander's hacked in a minus score for me.
15:30So this is what a level ten cell looks like.
15:34Right.
15:34It has it's own desk and chair.
15:35Yeah.
15:36It has it's own bookshelf.
15:37It has it's own shower.
15:38It has it's own toilet.
15:39It even has it's own old school PC from the 80's.
15:42It has a PC in there.
15:44And that's pretty hardcore I thought isn't it.
15:45Yeah.
15:46That's pretty amazing.
15:47And it has his own.
15:48He has a TV and a radio.
15:50Right.
15:50Yeah.
15:50The radio is a new object that we just added.
15:52It's one of the additional luxuries that you could get.
15:54Yeah.
15:55That's a pretty good cell.
15:56I've stayed in hotel rooms that had less than that.
15:58Yeah.
15:59Yeah.
15:59Me too.
15:59Me too.
16:00In the early days of introversion.
16:01Have we got to record like 50 hours of radio footage now then for the game?
16:05If it's called footage.
16:06Al's taking care of that.
16:07Like in Grand Theft Auto.
16:08Yeah.
16:09No we don't.
16:10You just get some bursts of static.
16:12So here we go.
16:13Thank God.
16:14Get out of that cell Leander.
16:16Yes.
16:16And never come back.
16:18Hey hey.
16:19Why am I getting dragged away?
16:21Do you think people know that Leander is one of our programmers?
16:24I think they do now.
16:26Yeah.
16:27So that cell is now available.
16:30Right.
16:31Oh someone else has moved in already.
16:32Somebody much more deserving in fact who is worthy of a grade 9 cell has already moved
16:37in.
16:37But you can see these cells above are unoccupied.
16:39Your guards won't put prisoners in cells that are far too good for them.
16:43Yeah okay.
16:44So you can see this is a grade 8 cell.
16:46The prisoner needs to be worthy of like a grade 5 or above to qualify to go in this cell.
16:51Okay.
16:51So if the player goes ahead and just builds his entire prison with really really nice quality
16:56cells, most of the prisoners that arrive will not be eligible for going into them and
17:02will go into a holding cell instead.
17:04Yeah of course.
17:05Now it's actually not, even as I'm saying that I'm realising it's not actually strictly
17:08true because there's a concept of average quality.
17:12Okay.
17:13See I didn't want to make it so that, well I really did not want to make it so that
17:16you
17:16could just build luxuries into every cell and thereby avoid any future trouble.
17:22Yeah.
17:23Because all the prisoners are staying in a lovely cell.
17:25Yeah.
17:25So what I give with one hand, I take us away with another.
17:30Right.
17:30Because the only positive influence for being in a high quality cell occurs if the cell is
17:35above average.
17:36Okay.
17:37And the only negative effect occurs if the cell is below average.
17:40I get it.
17:40So these cells, for example, are way above average and any prisoner staying in this
17:44cell will be very happy about that.
17:46Yeah.
17:46And his boiling point, if you remember the concept of the boiling point, will be significantly
17:51improved because he doesn't want to lose all these privileges that he has assigned to
17:56him.
17:56Absolutely.
17:57Right.
17:57Whereas somebody who's way below average in a grade one cell will be quite pissed off about
18:01that.
18:02Yeah.
18:02And so you can understand, as you upgrade many of your cells with luxuries, you may be making
18:07some prisoners happier, but you will be making other prisoners angrier.
18:11Yeah.
18:11Because they are going further below the average if they don't get the subsequent upgrade.
18:16Right.
18:17Understand?
18:17Yeah.
18:18Yeah.
18:18I get it.
18:19So it's a zero sum game.
18:21Yeah.
18:21Right.
18:21And I thought that was an important thing to have because really prisoners...
18:26Absolutely.
18:26Absolutely.
18:26It's about the change, isn't it?
18:27Happiness is always in the change.
18:29Yes.
18:30Exactly.
18:30And misery is in the change in the other direction.
18:34It's edge triggered happiness.
18:35That's right.
18:35That's right.
18:37There's some philosophy for you, kids.
18:39It's all in the transition.
18:41Yeah.
18:42Because, of course, if you went into a prison and all the cells were lovely cells, you would
18:46still think it's horrible.
18:47You wouldn't think it's horrible.
18:49You would think it's average.
18:50And you would not consider it to be a particularly luxurious cell if every other cell in the prison
18:55was the same level of luxury.
18:56That's right.
18:57And the same is true as if every cell is a shithole.
19:00Yeah.
19:00You wouldn't say, where is my goddamn television?
19:02Because nobody in the jail has a television.
19:04Yeah.
19:05I mean, they did it very well in prison, mate.
19:06I think it was season two when they went into the Mexican prison or whatever.
19:11Ah, yes.
19:11The impoverished prison.
19:12Yeah.
19:13So you'd gone into the American expensive prison to start off with and you thought,
19:18this is a horrible place, all these horrible dudes and stuff.
19:21And then they did it again by lowering the standard of the prison.
19:24That's right.
19:24So all the rooms were crammed, weren't they?
19:26Yeah.
19:26It was just, like, fetid water everywhere.
19:28And the guards had moved out, hadn't they?
19:30Yeah, yeah.
19:30And it was a self-governed prison, effectively.
19:32Exactly.
19:33Exactly.
19:34Yes.
19:35Right.
19:35So if you're messing with this, so it's quite a big change because, as I mentioned,
19:39from the dawn of time, most prisons on the workshop, their cells are just simple two
19:43by three with a bed and a toilet.
19:45That's right.
19:45There's been a lot of variation in the cells, has there?
19:47No.
19:47We've never really done it.
19:48In fact, we've never really had any concept of upgrading a room.
19:51Yeah.
19:51So now you can upgrade the room if you feel that it's something you want to do.
19:55And you will gain a benefit from the prisoners that successfully get traded up into cells.
19:59So the way that it triggers is, as soon as a prisoner misbehaves, he loses his cell.
20:05Right?
20:05That's like a...
20:06That's your privileges.
20:07That's the basic rule.
20:08As soon as you...
20:09Yeah.
20:09The instant you misbehave, you go down to grade zero.
20:11One more mistake from you guys and you're going to be flying rubber dog ships out of Hong Kong!
20:17Yeah.
20:18Thanks for that, mate.
20:19That's right.
20:20Just helping to explain it.
20:21So you get grades.
20:22That's great.
20:22Thanks for that, mate.
20:23I'll leave that in the edit, shall I?
20:25Yeah.
20:25You always cut out everything that I do.
20:27Yes, because everything you say is always bollocks.
20:30You cut me out until all I'm doing for the entire video is going, yeah.
20:33Uh-huh.
20:34Yeah.
20:35Yeah.
20:35Uh-huh.
20:36Yeah.
20:37Uh-huh.
20:38Yeah.
20:42Uh-huh.
20:44Yeah.
20:44Uh-huh.
20:45And I just dub that in over your voice.
20:48That's brilliant, Chris.
20:50Thanks.
20:50You've done really well, Chris.
20:52I know.
20:54Chris, you're amazing.
20:55You're so amazing.
20:59Chris, you are amazing.
21:03I think you are the best game designer in the world.
21:07I bet you wrote a little AI when you were 11 years old on your spectrum.
21:11Yeah.
21:12I bet you wrote it.
21:13How are you today?
21:14One day, you're going to be a game designer.
21:20Girls will want to be with you.
21:21Men will want to be you.
21:25Oh, well.
21:26One out of three isn't bad.
21:28Yeah.
21:30Where was I?
21:31So I think that pretty much explains all that, right?
21:33I should explain one other thing, which is that new prisoners that arrive don't automatically
21:37get assigned grade zero.
21:39Okay.
21:39I felt that was a bit harsh.
21:41That, because you could have a prison, you could have a prison where all the cells are
21:45kind of grade three.
21:46And it wouldn't make sense that they just go straight into the holding cell because
21:50they haven't qualified for their average grade cell.
21:52Yeah.
21:52So I've put in a special case, which is that new prisoners are entitled to an average
21:56cell.
21:56Yeah.
21:56That makes sense.
21:57For the first three days, I think.
22:00Something like that.
22:01By average, I'm assuming you're meaning mean across the cells in the prison.
22:04Completely related to your prison.
22:06Yeah.
22:06Whatever the average in your prison happens to be.
22:08The mean.
22:08That's what they'll be due.
22:09Yes.
22:10The mean.
22:10Absolutely.
22:12And that's what they'll try to get that.
22:14It's not always possible.
22:14The guards do their best, right?
22:16This is actually an extremely complex constraint management problem.
22:21Yeah.
22:22The issue of having, you've got 116 prisoners with a certain grade requirement.
22:26That's right.
22:26And you've got 133 prison cells offering a certain requirement.
22:30Yeah.
22:30And you have the concept of how wrong the current setup is.
22:35Uh-huh.
22:35Yeah.
22:36So if a prisoner's grade one and he's in a grade 10 cell, that's very wrong.
22:40Yeah.
22:40And that's a bad score.
22:41And so you're always trying to swap prisoners around.
22:44Right.
22:44So it always does it via a swap.
22:46Yeah.
22:46It will find two prisoners.
22:47One who's just misbehaved.
22:49Right.
22:49And needs to go to grade zero.
22:51And it will find somebody else who's in a much lower quality cell than they're due.
22:55And it will trade them up into the better cell.
22:57I get it.
22:58And so gradually over time, it all levels out.
23:00And in fact, it does.
23:01These guys are all grade eight and they're all in grade eight cells.
23:05Nice.
23:05But you still have these people here.
23:07Like this guy here, for example, is due a grade five cell.
23:09He's stuck in a hellhole.
23:11So he'll be a bit pissed off about that.
23:14So yeah, new prisoners are given the benefit of the doubt until they misbehave, at which
23:17point they become grade zero instantly.
23:19Yeah.
23:19But if they don't misbehave, they just get an average cell and they stay in the average
23:22cell until they start building up the days without misconduct.
23:26Mm-hmm.
23:26Pretty cool shit, right?
23:27Cool shit, man.
23:28Yeah, very cool.
23:29Pretty cool shit.
23:30Privileges.
23:31All right.
23:31I can tick that off.
23:34So let's talk about another thing which is related to that.
23:38God, you've been busy, haven't you?
23:39We've been a very busy month, mate.
23:41Very busy month indeed.
23:42Busy bees?
23:43Yeah.
23:46It's related to that.
23:47It's the concept of...
23:49It's related still to the issue of looking after your prisoners and improving them, you
23:53Improving their chances in life, reforming them and so on.
23:57Yes.
23:58Um...
23:59Previously, prisoners have...
24:02Um...
24:02You have this grading tab, don't you, that tells you their experience within your prison,
24:06right?
24:06This is what this prisoner's done.
24:08Right?
24:08He's had...
24:09These are his activities.
24:10This has been his mood in our prison.
24:12Yeah.
24:12And these are the reform programs he's attended.
24:14And this is his resulted grading, right?
24:16So he's had a lot of punishment.
24:18Yeah.
24:18And he's had virtually no reform.
24:20Yeah.
24:20That's just the way this prison happens to be.
24:21But he's been very well locked up and he's been healthy.
24:24So that's all good.
24:26Um...
24:26But until Alpha 32, none of that counted for shit when it came to the issue of prisoners
24:32fighting each other and smashing up their cells, right?
24:34Right.
24:34That was all a different calculation based entirely on their needs.
24:39Okay.
24:39So if a prisoner happened to be very hungry and he was of a violent disposition, he would
24:44smash the prison up.
24:45Right.
24:46Right.
24:46That's the way the game worked.
24:47And it was regardless about what kind of experience he'd had within your prison.
24:52Yeah.
24:52Well, that's no longer the case.
24:53Right.
24:53So I now factor in all the same things that I've factored into the re-offending rate calculation
24:58and now factored in to the prisoner's misbehaving chance.
25:02Yeah.
25:02So this guy, for example, has a 2% chance of re-offending estimated.
25:07Which means that we've been very successful because this prison is heavy on punishment.
25:11Yeah.
25:11He's been heavily punished.
25:12He's been heavily locked down.
25:14Yeah.
25:14And that will also now factor into his willingness to cause shit.
25:19Right.
25:19And so this is the long-term effect of your prison.
25:22Right.
25:23Right.
25:23This guy's probably been in prison for years and years on end.
25:26He's 60 years old.
25:28He's had his criminal existence beaten out of him by staying in this prison.
25:34And as a result, he will no longer cause trouble.
25:37Right.
25:38And so it's behind the scenes change, but it's quite a big change.
25:42Yeah.
25:42Yeah.
25:42It now means that the effectiveness of your prison now directly affects how likely they are to kick off and
25:48cause trouble during their stay.
25:50Interesting.
25:50Do you think that's going to make it boring?
25:52No.
25:54Because, as I said before, it's all a zero-sum game.
25:59Right.
25:59The midpoint of, well, a good way to think of it is if they have a reoffending chance of 50
26:04% estimated, they will behave the same as they did in Alpha 32.
26:09Right.
26:09If they're above that number, if they have a higher reoffending chance, then they will behave worse than Alpha 32.
26:15Okay.
26:16And if they have a better reoffending chance, they will behave better than they did in Alpha 32.
26:22I get it.
26:22I get it.
26:22I get it.
26:23I get it.
26:23So, it goes both ways.
26:25Yeah.
26:25Yeah, sure.
26:26So, basically, as the prisoners have been in there for a long time and suppressed or rehabilitated, they're going to
26:31become calmer prisoners, which is what you'd expect.
26:33Yes.
26:33But you're still going to be having an intake of the young, hot-blooded guys that might suddenly start, you
26:41know, shanking in the showers.
26:43And they will actually behave worse from now on because you haven't done anything with them yet.
26:48And if your prison is woefully inadequate and doesn't succeed on the elements of punishment or reform or health or
26:54security, then your prison will be worse now.
26:58And your prisoners will behave worse on a general basis.
27:02Yeah.
27:02So, it's all even…
27:03That's how I keep…
27:04That's how I…
27:04I'm trying not to break the game at this point in development.
27:08Oh, yeah.
27:08So, I'm trying not to put anything in that just universally increases your chance of succeeding, you know?
27:13Good.
27:14This is…
27:14It's another system to fight with that is worse in some cases and better in others.
27:19Yeah.
27:19Yeah.
27:20Yeah.
27:20As the producer, I'm pleased that you're not breaking the game.
27:23Yeah.
27:24After 33 alphas.
27:25Late stage.
27:26Yeah.
27:26And it's nearing completion.
27:28Yeah.
27:28It would be a mistake at this point, wouldn't it?
27:30It would be.
27:31It could still happen.
27:32I could turn it into a scrolling shoot-em-up, mate, for all you know.
27:35No, you couldn't.
27:36I could turn it into a war game.
27:38I could turn it into a war game.
27:38I could do anything in this game and you suck air through your teeth and you go…
27:43Nah, mate, nah.
27:44That's at least six months worth.
27:45At least.
27:46At least six months worth for a team.
27:47Most of the things you say.
27:49For a whole team.
27:50For a whole team.
27:50For a whole team.
28:17Well, we're into edit fodder now, mate.
28:19This shit's getting so edited.
28:21I want to do prison radio.
28:22Prison.
28:23Radio.
28:25Good morning, prison.
28:26I'm Mark the Morris Morris.
28:28It's a beautiful day out of the window.
28:29It's 17 degrees.
28:30It's a balmy 17 degrees for those prisoners who have windows in their cells.
28:34That's right.
28:34From today onwards, you'll find yourself one point happier.
28:37Thanks to the changes of our guard designer, Chris DeLay.
28:41Hey, there goes the chain gang.
28:43Hey, chain gang.
28:44This one's for you.
28:45I'm walking on the chain gang.
28:48Walking on the chain gang.
28:51That's great.
28:52I like it.
28:53It's really good.
28:55I hate everything about you.
28:59You fill me up and you scar me through and through.
29:03He's got a good accent.
29:05Then I'll walk out a wiser, weaker man.
29:11Cash, will you salute him?
29:12Oh, we do.
29:13Can we put him on one of our trailers?
29:15That would be amazing, wouldn't it?
29:16Yeah, if you want.
29:17Can we get Johnny Cash to...
29:19We can't get Johnny Cash.
29:20He's dead, really.
29:20Yeah, I know he's dead, but can we get one of his recordings?
29:23Yes.
29:23On our trailer?
29:25Yes.
29:26That would be awesome, wouldn't it?
29:27I've said that to you before.
29:29Yeah, that would be really cool.
29:30Let's do it, man.
29:31Alright, I'll do it now.
29:33I'm making a note of that on my invisible typewriter.
29:38I think we're done, mate.
29:39I think we've looked at everything.
29:40That is Alpha 33.
29:41That is Alpha 33, everybody.
29:43There we go.
29:43I hope you enjoyed it.
29:44If you haven't bought Prison Architect, what's wrong with you?
29:46He's Chris.
29:47I'm Adrian Cronauer.
29:49See you in a month.
29:50Bye.
29:50Bye.
29:51Hehehe.
29:52Hehehe.
29:52Hehehe.
29:52Hehehe.
29:53There hehehe.
29:53Hehehe.
29:53Grazie.
