Since I don't have the 'Uploader' status, I was told by moderators that polls should be here, outside of the . There's already two versions out in (one public).

Apart from voting, you are all encouraged to provide suggestions and other ideas.

There are two main options now:
a) You are nominated for a third party for the 2020 presidential elections, with many 'encounters' throughout the game. Then, there would be a sequel on the MC being prez.
b) Currrent one. You are president already, and have fun with the inhabitants of the presidential palace. There will also soon be policy making and characters from around the world.

You'll get a lot more bipartisan support on this if you make this more like House of Cards than even giving a hint of the impression that you're wading into the current political clusterfuck.

Just saying that idea of following a candidate and their progression completely changed my mind on the project and made me excited by the potential. It makes me think of the progression on the Selectacorp "Corporate Raider" games. (You go from working your way to taking over a small satellite office to taking over major international corporations)

I'd even say go further back and start with running for Mayor or Governor, and escalate with each sequel.

This seems like a very bad time to be getting into political satire. Nothing you could come up with could plausibly top whatever insane Trump news story is going on at any given time. Like he's being sued now by a porn star in some capacity related to his semi-successful attempt to pay her off to not talk about an affair. He's like the fucking rule 34 of political satire. Whatever you come up with will come true, but even more insane by the time the renders are done.

Sounds good, seeing the poll I will start to design something like that.
