Homebrew [CANCELLED] Papers Please TechDemo

[Creckeryop]

Nice update man. It's really getting there. Have you decided on where you want to take the story? Honestly I think Ellis island would be a really cool throwback with a similar art style, but if you think the alien world is better for you and allows more creativity then go right ahead, or any other idea you might think of. Whatever you do though, I'll try to help with assets if I can.

i didn't decide

Cool update. Just curious, how hard would it be to display on the screen whether I was correct or not? The tech menu says whether the documents are valid or not, and for what reason, so I wouldn't imagine a prompt displaying whether I was right or wrong would be too hard to implement. Also, if you want to make the 8th bullet on your change list more understandable, just say "shutter will go up when a new human arrives if it was already down."

Is game on N3DS has no lags?

Is game on N3DS has no lags?

Im not sure if it's because if i have it set to 804mhz by default with luma, but yes on n3ds it has no lag. When i force it down to 268mhz and disable L2 cache it starts to lag.

Don't pay attention to date valid because it still not working(in 0.18 too)

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

I really don't have any ideas what to do.I think i have to make a date valid check function and then i'll think about mode selection menu. If (I hope) project will be finished i will update the game for O3DS Users(fix lags(if i'll do it now, it will be hard to work on that project later srry(and i think my idea may not work ))).

I would test the lag on o3ds, but I'm using a n3ds, so even if I slow it down, it still registers as a n3ds. Either way, great work. What's next on the agenda?

i don't know
mode selection maybe and new score system
i am planning to do endless modes
EDIT: Maan i really don't know to do, that game is lags on o3ds because of text on screen
EDIT 2 : I already tried to make that game on C, but I did not have experience on C programming

Don't worry about O3DS, keep working on N3DS then fix the stuff for O3DS

That's not a good idea. Some things may take alot of reworking to get working on o3ds, so it's best to make optimizations now and continue to optimize for o3ds so it isn't at a point where it needs to be torn down and reworked from scratch.

Nice update. Really makes it feel more like a game and less like a techdemo. What's next on the agenda? I think it's at a point where it can break off into it's own art style/ story.

Give me an idea, What do I do with monitors? I think that I need to change them to something else but no ideas so far

Honestly they look completely fine, and in the context of the story at the moment I can't imagine what else they would be. Maybe since the bottom screen gets so cluttered at points in the game you could hang a document there to look at?

 

[Dracari]

i agree with @Giodude for what i can mess about with and see the core game mechanics are all there, at this point i'd say all thats left is to make your own story to go with it/art syle and leave it in an open format for others to make thier own Story-sets.
