I don't want to sound rude by asking but I've wishlisted it on Steam and it has that telltale orange white balance. The capsule image and the newspaper article with the burning hospital in particular.
Ah okay, thanks for replying ^^ Looking forward to seeing what you do with a fuller release. I've played paper please and that's not my neighbor before which are similar.
I think because of the orange hue/white balance in your artstyle, especially with the rise of the studio ghibli style generated pieces lately, it put that question in my head. Just thought I'd ask!
§Hiii ! I love the idea of the game and i really wanted to play but idk why when i launch the game it just stays at the ' godot game engine 'is it a glitch or is it supossed to take that long ? btw i downloaded it from the itch app , tysm if someone answers !! §
Love the game! Very creative! Just one problem though... After all that time the screen was red my eyes hurt now and have difficulty focusing on other things...
That usually happens when you accidentally select the game window. I’ve done that multiple times as well and you can simply fix this deselecting it (so drag your mouse cursor from the bottom right corner to the top left) or just refreshing you browser.
Endings depends on will you help the Order of Genesis, and your matching performance. So if you help order, you will get their ending. If you made more than 50% correct matches, you get government ending, else you get "fail" ending.
Good game, but I got one with parents with the same skin color and same eyes, but there wasn't a baby that matched them, I cannot provide a screenshot as I was more focused on the clock at the tim
Same here, seems to happen only with the itch.io app, on windows.. so, you install and launch the game from the itch.io with the launch button, it loads but never finish loading. Not sure why.. works for me in browser, on itch.io website so, still could play.
I forgot to mention it in my google doc review, but perhaps a counter of X/X babies have been done might be good? That way as well the players are able to kind of know when to really rush or if they can take their time a little. Can't wait for the full game!
Great game. Thanks. I actually wonder how you'd make this a full game. I can play this for about half an hour. But I was glad that it was over after that.
Thanks for the feedback! We're working on other game phases and mechanics, so it will be not just a puzzle, but a narrative game with dialogues and simple resource management.
I saw the video about the steal issue about this game on YouTube. I feel sorry for you. But there is something botherinf me, how was it stolen? Did you open-source the full game? Did someone else had access on the project? Or was it a hacker that extracted the game from itch?
I’d love to run a small 5-player playtest for Diapers in partnership with GameUserResearch, gathering real gameplay data and feedback for free. If you're interested, where’s the best place to DM you for more details?
Hi, thanks for the offer, but we actually have gathered enough feedback from text reviews and letsplays so far, so it won't be very useful at this point. We already working on the version for next playtest.
You can DM me in the twitter, @VoltekPlay, if you want.
Fun game! I would love to see it fleshed out into something more complex! One criticism I have is that its hrd for me to distinguish between light brown and dark brown hair, but I think thats just a skill issue.
This was fun!!! It is a little too easy since you can mostly just look at hair and blood-type. However, the difficulty might be just right for a simple, fun gaming session. One doesn't need to be a hardcore gamer to enjoy this.
i like the game! Although, it's hard knowing what exactly tall and big means bc I don't know what measurements constitutes a baby to be smaller than average. Additionally, can there be an option for us American folks? It would be wonderful if there was an option for inches/ft & lbs.
ok I have not played this game yet so I don't know how the genetics work in the game but there are resscive genes that could affect it just played it a bit its weird you assume big parents big baby also great game
yeah but also if your struggling, blood type, skin color and eye color helps really well, eye color brown always dominates but there's a high chance it would be different
Everything here is solid. I would love to see this the setting and story fleshed out if you decide to make a full release.
The one thing that seemed weird was the baby names. Shouldn't the parents know their baby's name? (Assuming they named them.) And wouldn't the baby names be unknown to the state? (If records were destroyed.)
The idea of matching babies to kids is an interesting twist on Papers, Please! and can really be taken into interesting directions--the genetics described aren't accurate to real life already (e.g. 50% on skintone and hair), so you could add some fantasy/biopunk stuff if you decided to expand on the concept.
I love the extra creepy factor about placing children with parents. There's some reeeeeeally fun and messed up story stuff you can go with there if you develop this.
I dislike the "light the baby you want to select" mechanic. I have a hard time matching skin tones when vastly different light levels are used. It's also harder to scan eye colors between babies and parents to compare them--even if something is obviously blue or green or brown, there's a recognition lag as the brain compares objects with different lighting.
The order of genetic info you get has issues. Once I got bloodtype, I used it to select babies almost exclusively, because there's no 50/50 stuff like with hair and skin color.
"Weight" and "height" feel kinda tacked on. I don't know normal baby weights and heights off hand, so if I want to use them, I have to compare them to all other babies to see if they're significantly different. It doesn't help that average heights and weights vary by country, so I don't know what constitutes tall or heavy for parents by the game's standard.
Thank you for that review! Biopunk additions is very great suggestion, and it can fir out fictional dystopian world. thanks for the criticism, everything is on point and will be taken into account in further development.
i think i found a bug. i was playing story mode and accidentally hit 'back to menu.' i didn't see a continue button so i just hit story mode again, kind of upset that i had to completely restart. much to my surprise, i didn't have to restart! but i also didn't get to play that day, i went up a day. i found that strange so i did it again, hit 'back to menu' then back into story mode. i went up a day again! i decided to see how far i could take it and i finished story mode without playing! i may have gotten fired but it was for science lmao
There is now save games in current version, I can't upload bugfixes until Jam voting will end, so this bug will remain in the game for 2 more days. Anyway, thanks for reporting!

This game was so fun! Excited to see the expanded version
Does your game use any AI generated assets?
I don't want to sound rude by asking but I've wishlisted it on Steam and it has that telltale orange white balance. The capsule image and the newspaper article with the burning hospital in particular.
Itch version use one AI music composition (it's mentioned on this page description). Steam version doesn't use any AI assets.

Hi, try to play in browser, many people report that Godot games don't run in itch app.
Love the game! Very creative!
Just one problem though... After all that time the screen was red my eyes hurt now and have difficulty focusing on other things...
I loved it!!!
But i got a bu on the history mode where the whole game went red! IDK if it was just me, but i wanted to report either way. 10/10
Thanks for the feedback!

I quite liked it, it was nerve wracking and made my hands shake with the timer sounds. 10/10 1ould play ten times again
Glad you like it!
how many endings are there?
There are currently 3 endings.
ty,can i maybe get some hints on how to get those endings or maybe can you just tell me how to get those endings please?
Endings depends on will you help the Order of Genesis, and your matching performance. So if you help order, you will get their ending. If you made more than 50% correct matches, you get government ending, else you get "fail" ending.
tysm.Btw did you mean 50% correct matches on all days or just like one? Oh and is fail ending if i get all matches wrong on all days?
50% correct matches in total through all game. If you get all wrong on all days it also will be "fail" ending, yes.
Good game, but I got one with parents with the same skin color and same eyes, but there wasn't a baby that matched them, I cannot provide a screenshot as I was more focused on the clock at the tim
Thanks, same colors for eyes and skin isn't a 100% sign, you also need to look at blood type and rh, and freckles.
I dont know why but game not open in my pc i need anything for it?
Are launching it in a browser? Which one?
I was use my laptop with itch app
Same here, seems to happen only with the itch.io app, on windows.. so, you install and launch the game from the itch.io with the launch button, it loads but never finish loading. Not sure why.. works for me in browser, on itch.io website so, still could play.
Thank you for telling me. I wish you a good day.
Great Game!!!

Thank you for detailed feedback!
Great game. Thanks. I actually wonder how you'd make this a full game. I can play this for about half an hour. But I was glad that it was over after that.
Maybe that's just not a game for me.

It was simply just downloaded from itch and decompiled with GDRETools, than rebuilt for iOS. 5 minutes of work.
Hi VoltekPlay,

You can DM me in the twitter, @VoltekPlay, if you want.
no worries, thank you for the honesty.

I adjusted DM settings in twitter, thanks for letting me know. Best of luck!
Glory to Arstotzka!
game will not load. doesn't work for me
Sorry to hear that, please try Google Chrome browser.
good game 4/5 for sure not bad
I love the fact that there is a resistance to the Ministry; hinting that they're bad ppl
this game is sick!! reminded me so much of not my neighbour!!!
This was such a fun game to play! The different things you had to pay attention to kept the game interesting. Loved the story behind the game!
Fun game! I would love to see it fleshed out into something more complex! One criticism I have is that its hrd for me to distinguish between light brown and dark brown hair, but I think thats just a skill issue.
Thanks, we already working on the big game and launched a Steam page. We'll take your note about colors into account!
Diapers Please Gameplay

Cool game! :)
Interesting game.
super cute game; the mystery aspect was fun!
Sadly froze after clicking the first start button on firefox, but worked on Chrome. Thanks for making!
This is pretty cool. I love the mystery and the ideals of the dangers of eugenics
Great Idea, Love it!

This game was so fun! I like how it is similar to papers, please! I wish it was a bit harder but overall great game!
Thanks for playing!
I liked it, I like how the difficulty progresses and I'm giving the children to the revolution but I regretted it very soon after 😔
pretty good but it keeps crashing on my end and I've tried everything and my internet is good
I'm sorry for that, what device and browser do you use? If you can, please play in Google Chrome.
oh it's all good I'm on a MacBook with safari so that's prob the problem
i like the game! Although, it's hard knowing what exactly tall and big means bc I don't know what measurements constitutes a baby to be smaller than average. Additionally, can there be an option for us American folks? It would be wonderful if there was an option for inches/ft & lbs.
Thanks for the feedback, suggestion about customary units is noted and will be implemented!
do you think more storyline will ever take place? like the letters changing based off if you follow the blue or red letters?
We have a large non-linear plot in the plans, and a game of 3 phases (the current choice of children + 2 more), so yes!
I started playing it and... I give the kids to the revolution but I feel like something is wrong😭... but it's a great game❤❤
ok I have not played this game yet so I don't know how the genetics work in the game but there are resscive genes that could affect it just played it a bit its weird you assume big parents big baby also great game
yeah but also if your struggling, blood type, skin color and eye color helps really well, eye color brown always dominates but there's a high chance it would be different
how to check blood type?
its later on in the game

We didn't even think about it, but this is an important point, we will try to remove this discrepancy in further development.
Some compliments and critiques:
