Fun fact: the post boxes in the post game have the phrase ”postnörd” written on them, this is a play on ”postnord”, a major postal service company in Sweden. ”postnörd” translates to post nerd, or mail nerd. As a swede i found this pretty funny

They put a LOT of work into this. It was so unexpected, at least for me. Everything was far more polished than expected.

[@griffinbastion]

in Computer Developing cycle the first version (usually called alpha) is expected to be able to do all specifications of the program, so it makes sense that a professional dev team makes games that work but aren't polished up graphically and bug free Doesn't change the fact that some of these look addictive af despite being a free alpha of a failed product

[@danitho]

@@griffinbastion The polished bit is what I was caught off guard with. There were far fewer bugs than I'd expect and all of the designs looked intentional, rather than in development. But maybe these games were further along before than I expected when they abandoned them. I work in web dev, which is similar I suppose. But the way we work is different. Design usually comes far later, at least in my experience.

For those looking for a full version of “Anything for my pals” it obviously doesn’t exist but something similar does, it’s called “humanity” and it’s quite similar, the differences are: you’re a dog, you place commands down for an endless stream of humans to follow instead of telling a limited group of them commands, and it’s third person. That’s really all the differences i can think of, it’s the same general idea, guide humans to the end of a level using commands, and there’s even a glowing orb that talks in that game as well.

I think what happened around 18:20 is that this is supposed to be a multiplayer game, but no one else was playing. I assume that after the bidding phase, you're supposed to fight around with other players (and whoever stays standing wins the match and earns a coin), but since there were no other players, you automatically won every round by default.

[@DugTheDark]

17:34 that looks like another one of those fighting games. The twist for that one looks like the fact that everyone bids for the weapons they use and then brawl it out, but since you had no one to play with it just automatically gave you the win. Looks really fun.

[@jonna8016]

the funniest part of the post sorting game is that the logo is a parody and almost exact copy of the swedish postage company called Postnord (post/mail north) who has a reputation of losing packages, having generally slow deliveries and bad handling. infact, like 80% of swedish memes are about how shit postnord is. the one in game uses the same font and color except the O in "nord" is replaced with Ö spelling "nörd" (nerd). i think kevin's playtrough could very well be actual footage from the postnord factories.
