Devlog Update : Learn to Play, Story Mode & Sandbox Mode

It’s been quite some time since the last update (42 days to be exact!), but I’m thrilled to finally share this new version of Presidential Rise with you! In this update, I’ve added some exciting features that will hopefully make the game easier to learn and more enjoyable for both new and returning players.

What’s New?

1. Learn to Play Mode I know Presidential Rise] has a lot of depth and can be challenging to get into. That’s why I’ve created the Learn to Play Mode. This mode guides you step by step through the game mechanics, from infrastructure management to exports and beyond. I hope this mode will help you enjoy the learning curve as you discover how to lead your nation to success!
2. Story Mode For those looking for a more immersive experience, the Story Mode is now available. Here, you’ll follow a more structured narrative where your decisions directly impact the progression of the story, focusing on political strategies and national growth. This is where you’ll face the tougher choices, with new chapters shaping how the country evolves.
3. Sandbox Mode If you prefer a more relaxed and experimental approach, the Sandbox Mode is the perfect place to build, manage, and explore without the pressure of progression or political consequences. It’s all about playing with infrastructure and exports, giving you the freedom to shape your nation without restrictions.

I understand that not everyone found it easy to grasp the game’s mechanics right away. That’s why I’ve worked hard on creating a smoother introduction through the Learn to Play and Sandbox Mode. My goal is for you to enjoy the process of learning how to play, rather than feel overwhelmed. I hope these changes help more players dive into the game and explore everything it has to offer.

From Me

As some of you may know, I’m a solo game developer. In addition to developing this game, I also have a full-time job that demands my attention. Balancing both has been a challenge, which is why this update took a bit longer than expected. Originally, I planned to release this update in two weeks, but real life had other plans, and here we are 42 days later!

It’s been a journey, and I’m committed to making this game the best it can be. I’m excited about what’s next and hope you’ll stick around for the ride.

What’s Next?

While this update focuses heavily on easing the learning curve, there’s still so much more to come. I’m already working on additional content, improvements, and new features to keep the game fresh and engaging. As always, your feedback is invaluable, so please let me know what you think of the new modes!

Thanks again for playing, supporting, and being part of this journey. Stay tuned for more updates, and don’t forget to share your thoughts on the new features!
