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

[@davidthea.i3078]

As a swede and i found Kevins reaction and "play style" in this game pretty accurate. Just yeeting stuff around and don't give a shit about where the packages end up or in what condition they are going to arrive in

[@guidojacobs2002]

18:06 Ahh, of course. The premise is that you bid on weapons, and with those weapons, you fight. Since you're the only player there, you automatically win the combat portions.

[@idkwhattonamemyselfsoyeah]

Winning strategy: have no friends

[@acadia5898]

8:07 what's great about the name "Postnord" is that they are notorious for sending stuff in the wrong address in real life and they have poor reviews all around in scandinavia. i love the developers

[@__Rekkr__]

I can confirm this is how it looks

[@TheNeoVid]

I can't believe I didn't realize this was from the creators of TABS until TABS literally showed up. Most of these are hilariously dumb and would get me addicted.

[@kaitlando636]

So one of their concepts worked

[@sentientglow]

@@kaitlando636 TABS did work. it was actually quite popular sometimes and its a great game. the TABS in the video is just an early unfinished version.

​@@serithlenigodSällsynt, but yes, good guess 👍

[@danitho]

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.

[@LaurenTheorist]

I think Anything For My Pals could be a really great game.

[@majesticeagle5461]

There’s a very similar game called “humanity”

[@CurlyChop]

reminds of of if pikmin were voice controlled, or like the Clank sections of Ratchet and Clank

[@alexisb3829]

[@fernthedogsmom]

The fact the stressful looking post game was never made is honestly criminal

Post game actually seems really fun because instead of the typical management game things like splitters and sorters everything in post game is physical and the challenge comes from designing your own solutions using the various ways of moving boxes, all while more and more boxes keep piling up and falling into the void

[@CassetteGlitch]

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.

Honestly I had trouble not to pee myself at the mammoth part, it was hilarious - the silly dance, the comedic pause of you talking, the fact that there is a lowpoly little pink guy shooting prehistoric elephants with rockets for no reason while it wiggles its butt in front of him and then it didn't even care, I can't breathe properly since the last twenty minutes that is just peak comedy X'D I totally lost it really, "He is doing a great little dance-" *BOOOM* *Depression cured* 🤣 Haaaw I love your editing, keep it up x'DDD

[@myrthywyrthy]

The cult simulator game reminds me of The Last Guardian but with ominous tall floppy versions of the tree spirits from Mononoke Princess They need to continue on with this hilarious concept

[@ananjannandi1575]

Check out Humanity, same concept

[@majesticeagle5461]

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. It’s more complicated with the commands but the humans are less wobbly

[@Leveronicus]

I honestly love Landfall, their style, and the games they put out, to see this is great. Probably my favorite studio.

I just finished playing Black Mesa last week then played through their dev phase levels for Xen. It's so cool to see devs make their inner workings playable like this!

[@Robman92]

Weird game ideas from a Swedish game studio! That’s fun! Btw in that mail boxes game, the color and the name “Postnörd” (mail nerd) is in reference to the real Swedish/Danish mail service “Postnord” (mail north) that is known to often lose or delay package deliveries, which the game idea seems to hint towards with you constantly losing packages 😅

[@twitching_bot574]

Though it's not the same, the games The Beginners Guide, and The Magic Circle are similar in the way that they tell the story of developers going through development hell.

TO FIX THE LAG ISSUE: find the games themselves in the installed folder. The Landfall Archives game actually just launches other games, which means that you actually have two games running at once, and the Landfall Archives is actually somewhat computationally expensive for a what little it has.
