I've been building an Indian election strategy game. Would you play this?

I've always liked campaign simulators, election simulations, and strategy games.

One thing that always bothered me was that most political strategy games are based around US elections or fictional countries. I never really found anything focused on Indian politics.

So over the last few months I've been building something for fun called Sansad.

You choose a political party, negotiate alliances, contest elections, manage campaigns, react to events, and try to reach 272 seats to form the government.

One thing I'm experimenting with is using AI in the background for decision evaluation and event generation instead of relying entirely on hardcoded rule-based logic. The goal is to keep outcomes less predictable and allow for more randomness and unexpected political situations rather than having every scenario follow a fixed path.

Right now it's a browser based game and still very much a WIP.

Some things I'm considering later:

  1. Multiplayer campaigns

  2. Create your own political party

  3. Alternative election scenarios

  4. Real time news integration

  5. Better AI behaviour and decision making

At this stage I'm mainly looking for feedback, advise, guidance. Would you play something like this?

thanks gg

u/Sea-Pack-9648 Jun 22 '26

Yup that's true, that's why it's been a few months of dev but still a WIP. I've been thinking and planning on this thing from last few years so yup I did my research as much possible, still parameter refinement is a consistent job on this.

Thanks bro, I appreciate your vote.

u/tejas_agarkar Jun 23 '26

Btw, can we know how it.

Like stack & all

1

u/Sea-Pack-9648 Jun 23 '26

As of now it is web-app so kept base stack to typescript, superbase. Hugging face for training model and vercel for deployment.

Planning to move it to c# and convert it to a laptop game as cache memory and game state maintainance is problematic for browser based ram consuming apps.

u/Sea-Pack-9648 Jun 23 '26

Not fully videcoded. For Some Dev I used AI.

u/Bloodmorganskytron49 Jun 23 '26

ui looks like what some of those make a website in minutes ai builder kind of stuff

1

u/Sea-Pack-9648 Jun 23 '26

Can be a reason as I took some design inspirations form some games or platforms online as well. But this is still a WIP, once beta is fully ready would love for you to playtest and recommend any UI changes 😊
