Deliver Inc. | A Delivery Simulator by innocuousuk

[raw]
made by innocuousuk for Ludum Dare 53 (JAM)

Overview

This small town relies on Deliver Inc. to get their packages, trinkets and doodads. Assume the role of a new employee at the depot under the watchful eye of Popo the Toad, who will be guiding you to your destinations, and deliver what the people want as best you can, but be sure not to drop your cargo or else the customer might not pay you the full sum for the delivery.

After a few callouts, consider getting yourself some upgrades to your vehicle, whether it be engine power, suspension tuning or brake efficiency to aid in making your delivery experiences a bit smoother (and possibly meaning more successful deliveries in the process)

For the best performance we suggest downloading the game instead of using the WebGL build on browser.

Changelog

Update 1.0.1: - R button now cancels velocity of the truck - Physics are better at low and high fps now - Truck no longer falls out of the garage at high or low fps (we think) - Disabled settings button in main menu (it didnt work)

Known Issues :exclamation::exclamation::exclamation:

  • WebGL build resolution way off, to fix this fullscreen the game then go into settings and set the fullscreen mode to FullScreenWindow.
  • When coming out of the garage, on high FPS the truck will spawn under the map, to fix this limit the FPS lower or turn on vsync (fixed in 1.0.1?)
  • The camera sometimes does a 180
  • In the WebGL build, settings do not work, sorry for this, its because we cant store and retrieve data using WebGL, and didnt have time to fix it up
  • Sometimes the truck may fly into the air a few times while trying to drive when you first come out of the garage, we believe this is due to loading, it does calm down! (fixed in 1.0.1)

Controls:

Movement:

  • [W] - Accelerate

Looks like fun but unfortunately my truck goes flying all over the place pretty often, even after initial load. It looks like if I hit R to reset and I land on an uneven surface I go flying back up.

@arthur-mairs Thanks! @support It can take a minute to get itself fixed up, certainly more stable on the desktop builds

Nice trucking game with a map that seems reasonably large and detailed for a game jam. Nice job and I love the dancing guy.

The lil mascot and driver are great. Even with the duplicated buildings, the world you put together quickly is great! I wish there was better communication on where quests were but other than that it was a fun lil game. :thumbsup:

My truck got launched into the stratosphere on five different occasions. Pretty Enjoyable. But all the audio was a bit soft compared to other games.

I really appreciated! i dropped the mission objectives and just enjoyed chilling driving around the city and in the woods with the music for a moment :D, the lightning of the scene is very nice.
(Nice dance.)

What a crazy entry! There is so much here, the map the graphics, the gameplay, the wonky physics... Really well done, but twice I got stuck so bad that even with spamming R I could not get out again. All in all super impressive. Well done!

These are exactly the guys I would hire if I ever move again! Really awesome game. The only things I disliked were that when pressing R I guess the velocity was not reset(?) and the balancing was maybe a little off. Like a mission with two stacks of crates was way harder than one with barrels only as the top layer of crates would just fall off almost directly.

I could honestly sit here for hours just making deliveries. We need more goofy games like this, thank you for this experience! Very well done for the short amount of time. There's definitely a very good base for this game to do well!

I really like the vibe and what you're aiming for here, music is fun, truck controls decently well, etc. But at the end of the day I found it almost impossible to discover where to pick up my goods (I barely noticed the compass after playing for 10 minutes and even then it often led me into killer trees I'd get stuck in). I drove around on 3 different gameplays looking for goals and each time eventually got stuck in some trees or something.

All in all, a fun little delivery game. I think you could have done more with navigation, even coloring houses red, adding a street sign and giving the delivery address of **Mulberyy Rd. in Redtown** would've been better than **East Houses 1**.

What kept me playing a while was my curiosity on how the truck upgrades would work out. The suspension and tire upgrades didn't feel like it did much in terms of being able to take bumps and keep my cargo onboard.

I also kept falling through the floor when selecting to drive at the garage. Thankfully you have the **Tow to Garage** option.

The jobs list didn't need a scrollbar, there are plenty of ways to design this so it fits on screen. As a result, scrollwheeling up-and-down the list would zoom in-and-out on my truck at the same time.

I really wanted to knock down some lamp posts too. :laughing:

A fun entry, though. I played it for quite some time.

Hey, this is a really nice game! The people dancing made me laugh so hard hahaha
Having an upgrade system encourages to keep deliverying stuff

It would be a great addition to have a minimap and some obstacles in the way, like cars or other people

As other people mentioned, sometimes there´s a bug when you get out of the garage and the truck keeps falling
![bug.png](///raw/86f/b3/z/5b1d4.png)

But other than that, it´s a very well executed idea. Would love to see a development on this!

Holy crap! You implemented a literal whole sim game in a weekend?! I can't fathom how this was possible - everything from the art, a massive, map, to the driving mechanics, to an upgrade garage, to the mission system (!!!) was fully fledged. I kept expecting to be like "ok, well this part definitely fell out of scope" - but nope! It's all there!

And it runs on web too!

You absolute madlads/lasses, you rascals.

And our little friend up top has some real shmooves! He got in the way of the arrow indicator a bit, but it was worth it to see him bust it down.

All in all - a wonderful experience. I may not have made much money, but I had a grand time cruising around this wonderful village. Thanks!

Neat vehicle physics and level design! I played this one for quite a while and just enjoyed driving around and exploring the city in a relaxed manner, trying to keep all my cargo onboard. I also love the ability to upgrade the truck's stats over time. I think that could be a really fun system in an expanded version of this, where you need to climb steeper hills and deliver to offroad destinations, requiring you to continue upgrading to reach more interesting and varied areas outside the city limits. Great work on your jam entry!

I like it! pretty art, nice music and mechanics, cool delivery system, I have some problems getting stuck a couple of times but other than that was fun, cool job!

Why do you have pepe on the roof dancing like that? Do you know how childish and irresponsible is that? Have you no sence of liability? Give him a hard hat ffs!

Do you know how impressively big the city is and what might happen if some tree branch hit him in the head or an eye for that mater. Where are your safety glasses?

And why are you showing speed in retarded units? How am I supposed to know what speed I am going.

A map would have been nice.

Good Job.

The game is super fun. I enjoy driving my car and flipping it here and there. Haha. Welcome to play my game as well~

i do not know if it's a bug or a feature, but i can not even drive out of the garage because my truck tips over every time. I can go anywhere.

i even tried to download your game and i have the same problem.

But I played it with my two year old daughter and for her it was comedy at its best and we laughed a lot. I did not deliver boxes but it was fun

I liked how you used the physics in the game play. Really cool. Also very nice graphics, so much detail, even the back light of the truck turns on when driving backwards :D Just had some physics problem, when the rear of my car constantly bumped so hard, the truck kept spinning, even after resetting

The game looks really nice,
but impossible to play it because of the truck flying all over the place.
The aesthetic is really cool !!

Looks like a nice and complex game to have done in a jam. Congrats! The only thing I would say is that the truck flips very easily and the rear gear is too slow.

Hmm, this looks great, but I'm not even able to open the settings to fix the resolution on the web version. :/

The world is really huge and very pretty, but driving is just too hard. The truck just jumps and flips for no apparent reason, even on a stretch of a completely straight and level road. It's rather funny when it happens with no cargo, but actually delivering something gets frustrating pretty fast. I did manage to deliver part of a cargo on a very short trip and another time I delivered part of a cargo even thought the truck bed was completely empty.

The game's quite buggy, I literally fell into the nowhere after starting it more than 20 times. But still, it's pretty fun to play.

Very fun. Impresive open world for jam.
Some bugs are funny, some are reustrating (truck suddenly ejected, cargo droping to the floor in moment of spawning)

Mission system is fun, and upgrades are motivating to play longer.

After restarting 10 times, I was able to properly load into the game world once. Every other time, the truck would spawn into an endless void. The game seems really ambitious and complex for a jam game, but unfortunately I wasn't able tor really play it due to the game breaking loading issue.

The game has a fun idea. I played for around 30 minutes or so.

Some feedback:

```
• I missed the arrow on top of the truck at first and didn't know where to go because it's hidden by the dancing pepe.
• The controls are never communicated in-game so it took a while to figure out how to do some things like reset when I got stuck.
• The art style is a little inconsistent between the dancing characters and the painterly environment.
• The controls are very finicky for a PC player. It would be nice if tapping A or D to slightly course correct wouldn't cause the wheels to snap so aggressively left to right.
• The suspension on the truck is prone to launching cargo because the wheels don't really roll onto and over things, they just kind of jump up when the center of the wheel reaches an obstacle.

• I liked that there was a lot of content. I'm impressed that you were able to add so many upgrades and locations and make such a sizable map in a short game jam.
• The game looked pretty good despite the inconsistencies. You left ratings for the graphics open so I assume you made the assets during the jam. Well done.
• I also liked flying by repeatedly pressing R.
