hey sa_ko. do you think at any point you could make a tutorial on how to make a papers please esque game? i really want to make one and was hoping you could help people like me out. is it made with unity?
this game is made with GameMaker: Studio, a 2D game engine which does the job perfectly for these top-down games. Regarding the tutorial... I played too much Papers,please, and once I understood the artstyle, creating my own assets wasn't really a big problem. The game-code itself is really simple, basic "Drag-and-drop" mechanics for interactions and some buttons.
In my opinion, it is easier to make a game with repeated gameplay, that's why I decided to make this an endless-game. The main point is that you don't have to think of a real "story" that you need to tell throughout the game. If you have the environment and basic story-setting done, you can focus on the game mechanics. I hope this somehow helps, to be honest I have no idea what I could exactly write here to explain the making of the game.
awesome, thanks heaps for the reply! getting gamemaker now and will hopefully make a game soon. i see what you mean with having an endless game - that's sort of what i'm thinking of making. i like it since i can come back to it and just play it to relax if i'm angry or stressed. i can turn on some music, drink an irish coffee and read some mail. keep up the good work!
This game is confusing. It says all packages sent after 2/1949 have to be declined but every single package I have received so far were sent after 2/1949, and when I declined them I lost credits. Why?
Could have added more challenges for more gameplay, the Graphic is fine and i have a bug were sometimes when i make right decisions that i don't get Credits, but overall a good game. I made a video if someone is interested.

I'm not sure if this is just a "me" problem but the game doesn't fit to a browser window, it's too big.
It does work on browser, you just need to fullscreen. And if that doesnt work. Just zoom out a bit.
Worked for me
Game doesn't work on browser
