Introversion has released a new build of darkly absorbing sim Prison Architect. The latest changes include prisoners with distinct characters and a restriction on doors requiring you to think about guard placement. As with all releases, now and in the future, the in-development version is free to everyone who’s pre-purchased. Grab it and check out the change log here. The Minecraft-like release scheme has so far raised over $1 million.

Thanks, DSB.

Prison Architect has attracted 30,230 sales for a grand total of $1,015,810 in revenue at time of writing. The simulation offers players access to alpha and beta releases during development, with prices starting at $30 and ranging all the way up to $500; the average is about $33. “What an incredible milestone. We are incredibly thankful to everyone who has joined us so far,” developer Introversion Software commented on Twitter. Introversion’s past releases include Darwinia and Uplink. Prison Architect supports Linux, Mac and PC.

Thanks, Develop.
