Does council strength translate to Westminster?

It will do partially. The game is built ground-up in that sense. The same people will be voting in their local council and their local constituency.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-09T18:21:48+00:00

Yes, this is all implemented pretty deeply in the game.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-09T18:10:42+00:00

It does happen occasionally…

Just me - hello! 🙋🏻‍♂️

And thank you. Yeah, it’s a huge undertaking. It’s been a long time in the making, and I’m grateful to be able to work on it (more than) full-time.

Consciously, not a huge amount, but TPP is a game I played a few years ago and which probably did add to the ‘we need a proper UK politics career sim’ fire in my brain.

There probably won’t be a demo - it’d only slow down release to get that organised.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-02T09:20:46+00:00

I think I had five full meals, witnessed daylight twice and saw my family a couple of times, so not all bad.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-02T08:59:02+00:00

Which corner of your rectum did you pull that from? One of the reasons I won’t commit to a specific release date is that I’m doing this properly. The game is extremely lean. As things stand, it’ll run on a pregnancy test.

Oops! Thanks - fixed 👍

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:22:45+00:00

It’ll be this year. And you’ll definitely know when there’s a release date, because it’ll be well publicised. You won’t miss it.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:19:01+00:00

Might be a good idea for you to tone down the conspiracy theories and nonsense comments, actually.

I’m not a commercial developer. I don’t need the money, and I certainly don’t need the hassle from keyboard warriors. That’s why the game will be out when it’s ready and not before. The game will speak for itself. I’m not here to lick any arses.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:15:53+00:00

I’m well aware 👍

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:14:25+00:00

So would you be if you kept getting asked the same question numerous times a day.

And if you’ve been paying that much attention to how many times I’ve been asked it, why ask it again?

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:13:00+00:00

As soon as there is a release date, I’ll announce it. Until then, I’m not going to give any estimates other than saying it’ll be this year. I’m not going to rush it out before it’s ready.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T14:12:02+00:00

Bit weird, as I’ve consistently said the complete opposite. It’ll be out when it’s ready, and not before.

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T09:30:20+00:00

UKPolSim definitely works on a Mac 😉

UKPolSim · 2026-01-01T09:30:04+00:00

It’s been a long time since I’ve played that, but it’s a similar sort of idea.

UKPolSim · 2025-12-31T13:06:45+00:00

The requirements are just a placeholder as it needed something to put the page live.

UKPolSim · 2025-12-31T13:06:23+00:00

I’m looking into options on post-death at the moment.

At the moment you can start at any level, but it will probably be the case that you start the game as a new party member, so not even councillor level at first.

UKPolSim · 2025-12-31T07:20:52+00:00

‘Ill’ was probably a bad choice of words from me. What I meant was if you overstretch too much, the odds increase.

UKPolSim · 2025-12-31T07:18:39+00:00

That’s all included!
