Community Update: Mac Version, Unlocking Prisons, Prison Editor & More

The Escapists on Mac

Unlocking All Prisons

Prison Editor

PRISONERS,Your warden has returned to bring answers to the questions that you've been scrawling all over the prison walls. I don't know where you're stealing those marker pens from, but when I find out who's responsible you'll be writing on the walls of SOLITARY CONFINEMENT.Anyway.As you know, we're working hard to bring you a Mac version of The Escapists. The engine that The Escapists is built on doesn't currently fully support Mac, so we're waiting for a few key updates to that platform before we can finish development of this version.We have no ETA for this and I will keep you updated as to progress.A few of you noticed that the game now requires you to unlock the prisons in order. This was always intended behaviour, though we understand that this has meant that some players have had to go back and unlock prisons that they had already escaped from during Early Access.To address this, Chris is adding a cheat code into the game in the next update which will unlock all prisons. Whether you use it is up to you - but we figured it would be better for you to have the choice!Work continues on the Prison Editor, and you'll find a shiny new megathread at the top of the forum where you can make suggestions and post questions for Chris. We don't have an ETA on release for the editor yet, and I'll keep you updated whenever there's new news!Thank you for an amazing launch of The Escapists. The support you guys have relentlessly thrown at us here, on Twitter Reddit and beyond has been astounding. Chris, myself and everyone at Team17 are so grateful for your love - we hope we've done you proud :)Now. Get back to your cell before lights out and stop scrawling on my walls.Love,MT17 & ChrisD
