Comment on Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer

I think the artstyle is ok in a vacuum. It does look bad if you look at it as a direct sequel of prison architect 1. As for paradox, it would be a new low for them if they managed to fuck up the performance for this game by releasing it early, the only problem I can really see are bugs and they usually aren’t gamebreaking (for the pdx games I’ve played at launch - c:s2 and vic3). I just hope it isn’t treated as a cash grab by the higher ups. As long as they don’t release it before it is ready the game will be fine, but we know paradox will crunch the developers to release early. I’m mainly just worried about the dlc.

Idk I think the new art style is good. They probably didn’t want it looking like Rimworld anymore and wanted to have 3D for the verticality that was lacking in the original.

Prison Architect predates Rimworld. Rimworld got shit for “copying” PA when it first came out.

Oh, seems so. I always thought they just had the same art style through a coincidence or something. IDK where I got that

That’s what I was trying to say. It looks good if you don’t view the new game as just “more prison architect 1” instead of an entire new game
