Mail Tycoon (WIP)

I have made a mail sorting game thing where you pick up and deliver boxes to the corresponding depot / target / whatever you want to call it

Boxes can be stacked by the way, and are dropped from top of the pile

The core gameplay loop is fully complete, but I do still have plans to add more things

Controls (IMPORTANT)
  • Currently WASD movement
  • Press E to pick up a box
  • Press Q to drop a box

I’m contemplating on whether the player should also have to make deliveries, like on a scooter or in a van, but I’m not good at coding vehicle physics so maybe not

I’m, of course, planning on adding upgrades, expansion, automation, and more to the game as well

Nice game!
It seems that the base structure is solid
Now you can add variants. Perishable parcels? objects that make you fall and mix your parcels order or drop a box? :+1:

I’m thinking of adding a delivery system, where you deliver the packages you sort. Also, priority mail, which gives more money, but must be delivered quickly (so, perishable parcels). Your ideas are also good, and I have actually made a vehicle system posted on a separate post, which I’m planning on using.

I have updated the game and added in the vehicle’s functionality

The vehicle is outside the building, which is exited through the garage door in the top-left
