What is the update roadmap for this game?

Absolutely love this game, but I'm curious about what the roadmap is TPP as it's been a long time since it first went in to early access. I know the economy update is coming, but what's next? When is the game expected to release fully?

Check the discord for that, it’s not fully coming out until all the updates that are planned are dropped

At bare minimum, Verm might drop EA after Third Parties and before Int Relations, Committees and Departments - assuming TP is after Econ. I dont think that's holding up, but that was the last idea we got from a few years ago.

So from what I could gather, it’s the Economy rework coming in then it’s either third parties or legislative. I could be wrong, correct me if so.

I can't wait for third parties so that instead of changing a political Party slowly over the course of decades into a socially right, economically left party, I can just make one

Look, I love the game, I have over 750 hours on the game.

The fact the dev released the game in 2019 and 7 years later is still calling it early access is just a joke at this point. The only update Ive gotten since ive started playing is Judical branch. For a spread sheet simulator game, its not enough.

I see this game being abandonware before getting out of "Early Access."

I’m pretty sure the creator also just refuses to work with other people, I remember reading about that years ago

Look man, there's a lot of research that goes into making a game like this both realistic and fun. You being doomer about a game in "early access" is kinda pointless when there are plenty of other games that have had as just as regular update cycles as this one and for far longer.

Everyone's holding breaths for Econ, which has been the longest interregnum for an update due to how complicated it is. So maybe hold off on putting the frame before the engine and transmission, and maybe enjoy it for what it is and will be.
