If you played Jail Em!, I want to know what you would want added to the game in the next update we complete. I want version 1.0 to be really polished, and fun for every one. You can view the latest implementations via Lige's latest blog. Suggestions were given to me by Mesmerise for having power-ups in-game. I would like to ask what kind of power-ups would you like to see? I would rather limit the total amount to about six (6). Whether it be three (3) personalized per class, or six (6) affecting both classes, I'm open to which ever. Lastly to add, I want power-ups to work like Bomberman, where you bump() an object to obtain the power-up. Otherwise, the other idea is to have perks that allow you to use the power-up once you met the requirement in-game.

Another note is; There are only 2 maps in-game as of now. Soon there will be 5 total to play on. I'd like to have them all ready for version 1.0. The idea is to have 3 maps built for 4v4 matches, and 2 built for 8v8 matches. Currently, it's very hard, and unlikely to host a server with 8 total players for a nice 4v4 run. I'm hoping that will all change very soon.

Edit: I forgot to add that we plan on releasing an update to the game content every other weekend. This doesn't count for vital bug fixes which happen as soon as possible (when reported).

Single player, add AI to fight against, because it isn't popular enough to find random people to play against. Regarding power-ups, the idea seems a little strange to me for this type of game. Some kind of collection might be fine, like health boosts/armor boosts. If you have tazers use battery life you could have them recharge with batteries or returning to a guard post or something. You could also throw in limited lock picks to counter the battery life. Also, what's with the blank menu item in the interface???

Well if we do manage to add single player, it wont count towards the scoreboards. The point is to be competitive, plus interacting with real people is a bonus. I guess the game is too new to be noticed right now. I'm sure it'll be a lot easier to get games going in the future.
