Postage Please! - A Retrospective

Sunday, May 21st, 2023

"Postage Please" title text set on background of envelopes

This month I took part in Ludum Dare, which is kind of unusual for me. I don't usually participate in ranked game jams (they're kinda stressful) or weekend game jams (they're also kinda stressful) but for some reason I just felt like doing this one. Probably because I was/am in the post-show blues stage after showing Scared Little Ghost at Tokyo Sandbox? But regardless of the reason, that's a thing that happened, so I wanted to talk a little bit about Postage Please and how the jam went.

I will spoil the game so please stop here if you intend to play it! (I will also talk about Papers Please a bit which might spoil some in-game relationships, but won't contain any major game spoilers.)
