I am a solo developer and I built a free-to-play online, multiplayer political roleplaying game called [Lawmaker](https://lawmakergame.com).



**What is it?**

Lawmaker is a free-to-play political strategy and roleplaying game where you lead a political party through elections, build coalitions, and pass legislation. It works on both desktop and mobile browsers although you'll probably enjoy desktop more.

This shares some vibes with the now sadly deceased Particracy but it also has some different ideas, and AI has allowed me to implement some quite cool ideas (like individual voters) which just wouldn't have been possible before 2022.



**Key Features:**

* Multiple playable countries with realistic political systems
* 30+ party ideologies that can be combined to create unique political platforms
* 50+ issues on which you can pass legislation
* Support for both unicameral and bicameral legislatures, plus heads of state - all elected independently
* Cabinet positions and appointments
* AI-powered individual voters with backstories, preferences and prejudices who dynamically respond to your party's actions and proposals
* Multiplayer gameplay with other human players competing, or cooperating, for power
* Social media and messaging features
* Campaign calendar features to support issues, raise funds, 
* Political blocs across countries for international cooperation

To set expectations clearly from the start: this is a slow-moving simulation designed to be played over weeks, months and years rather than a quick-hit. 🤓 



**Current Status:**

I've been running an alpha test with a small group for a couple of months. Now I'm ready to expand testing to get more feedback on game balance, features, and bugs. It remains completely free-to-play.
