Sorry to post on this comment section, but in the Lost Cartdrige jam, It wouldnt load when I tried to add a download to my game, but since its rating period now, I cant add a new download. Do you know what I can do?
Sorry to hear that! Unfortunately there's no way to change the submission after the deadline. You can add a separate download link to the description if you want others to be able to access your game though. :-)
The game was coded in Game Maker, by GZ from gzstorm.com. It can be a bit hard to make 3D games in Game Maker though, so if you want to learn how to make 3D games you might want to check out Unity instead. Good luck!
Unfortunately we're probably not going to update the game further, beyond fixing bugs. Maybe if it sells well we might consider making some additions to the game, but at this point it looks like we'll have to let it sit for a while.
Thanks a lot for commenting, and feel free to sign up for our newsletter at astrojone.com if you want updates on our future projects.
Unfortunately the tech we used to make it makes it really hard to port to Linux. We've tried but it seems that we'll have to wait for updates before that's even a possibility. Sorry!
Cool vid, and thanks for giving the game a try. We really appreciate it. Looks like the beginning was a bit frustrating, but you were an inch away from figuring the whole thing out. Maybe give it another go some time in the future and see if you like it. :-)
The game can be frustrating for sure but that's part of reaching the final conclusion, and a walkthrough would maybe undermine that a little.
There are a lot of informative let's plays that you can watch on YouTube though, so just get in there. If that TV isn't on 24 hours a day, I'm coming in after you.
Buh, but i wanted to go to a furniture destruction factory, i was promised a job there! Ah rats. at least i have a can of *FOOD* somewhere around here.
This game is fantastic. You will inspire many. GameMaker studio as well. Its mind blowing. You guys deserve all the support you can get. Please to anyone. If you have $1 to spend. Do it on this game!
Your welcome. I imagine that you bring inspiration to so many in the future!
As a game creator myself i mainly use GameMaker studio and i'm currently studying 3D.
Its amazing how 3D from GameMaker was used in this game. I would just like to say. Congatualtions good sir and i wish you the best of luck in your game development future!
Sorry that you found the game boring. I don't think we're going to expand the gameplay much right now, so if you want a refund you can e-mail us at support AT astrojone DOT com. Again, sorry that you didn't like it.
We had some issues porting the game to other platforms, but we might do it later. Sorry that we can't bring it to Linux right now, but feel free to sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of http://astrojone.com and we'll send out an update if we can manage to port it.
The game has five endings, including the main one. We don't want to spoil it, but you'll be able to find some (or all) of the key items by exploring every nook and cranny.
Kind of. You can trigger most endings on any regular work day, except for two obscure ones, one of which can only be triggered on the first day and the other has to be done repeatedly until you get the ending. I'd say that if you carefully scour the floors in every single room on a regular work day you'll be able to unlock most of the endings.
No worries, the game is really cool (spent some good minutes looking at the office window =P) and the BGM sets the correct mood! I just wish it could save my progress, because I had to stop playing it and when I came back, had to start all over again.
Thanks for the kind words. We're not sure whether we might implement saving due to how the game ends, but we might consider it for future updates. Glad you liked the game.
Glad that you liked it, and sorry about the bug. If you'd like some help troubleshooting, feel free to e-mail us your specs at support AT astrojone DOT com.

Bought this game on Steam and was pleased by the experience.
The visuals are quite charming, the sound design super cute & I couldn't help but laugh at the various references hidden in the office.
Good job!
Here's my gameplay experience so far :
Still fantastic
porque isso é pagooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
I would really like to know what engine you used?

Can I talk with an Admin about a game bug?
Sure! Just visit astrojone.com and use the e-mail form at the bottom of the page. Thanks a lot for taking the time to report bugs!
Linux port?

Covered this game on my channel! Liked the way it looked a lot. Kind got lost though.

This feels like the game "normality". Visuals remind me of it quite a bit.
Not bad at all.
Although secret walkthrough would be nice. :V

Working PC for work, is Possible?
Errand is boring :(

IF you haven't seen my video on this you should check it out, this game is worth the $1 https://youtu.be/o-9nMZCZFfw Payroll - The Office Simulator
We saw it. Very nice! :-)
awesome! 😊
FREE!!!
free?
not money
It costs $1. :-)
Linux port? Plz
We had some issues porting the game to other platforms, but we might do it later. Sorry that we can't bring it to Linux right now, but feel free to sign up for the newsletter at the bottom of http://astrojone.com and we'll send out an update if we can manage to port it.
some of the stuff is very well hidden! i've managed to find four endings so far.
That's pretty impressive. Hope you got a kick out of them. :-)
How did you make a 3d box art model at the end of the trailer. Nice game by the way. I think I'll invest time in this over the weekend!
The 3D models were made by Jani Saarelainen using Blender. It's free to use, so give it a try.
Nice, thank you.
Are the recommended system specifications a joke?
No. They are the minimum specs.
It's great fun! But I didn't found any other endings. Is there really a screwdriver hidden somewhere? May somebody give some hints?
The game has five endings, including the main one. We don't want to spoil it, but you'll be able to find some (or all) of the key items by exploring every nook and cranny.
I'll have a look. Thanks!
Spoil, please! I've looked everywhere...
All of the objects you seek are on the floor in different rooms, usually strategically placed behind other objects. Hope that helps!
Does it matter what day I'm on?
Kind of. You can trigger most endings on any regular work day, except for two obscure ones, one of which can only be triggered on the first day and the other has to be done repeatedly until you get the ending. I'd say that if you carefully scour the floors in every single room on a regular work day you'll be able to unlock most of the endings.
Really Good looking game, will the music/soundtrack ever be available?
Glad you liked it. The soundtrack is coming soon!
I'm curious: why does the game come with a 40MB+ Help.exe file? AVG detected as a thread, btw.
It's just a Windows 95 gag along with the other Windows 95-esque goodies surrounding this game. Sorry if this has been an issue.
Would you mind e-mailing the AVG warning to support AT astrojone DOT com? We'd really appreciate it.
Got it!
It could be a .hlp file :)
No worries, the game is really cool (spent some good minutes looking at the office window =P) and the BGM sets the correct mood!
I just wish it could save my progress, because I had to stop playing it and when I came back, had to start all over again.
Keep the great work up!
Thanks for the kind words. We're not sure whether we might implement saving due to how the game ends, but we might consider it for future updates. Glad you liked the game.
What Coding Language did you use and/or what engine?
The game was made in Game Maker: Studio. GZ from GZ Storm programmed it.
Ok. Thank you for replying.
This game is super fun. I made a video of it here: https://youtu.be/o-9nMZCZFfw
Thanks for the kind words. Awesome video too. Nice job!
this game literally refuses to work and be terminated in task manager when it doesn't work.
We're really sorry to hear that. Can you e-mail support AT astrojone DOT com so we can help you?
Ran into a weird bug where the game would only show a white screen unless I lowered the resolution but loved it otherwise. Great work!
Glad that you liked it, and sorry about the bug. If you'd like some help troubleshooting, feel free to e-mail us your specs at support AT astrojone DOT com.
Sorry to hear that. Can you please e-mail support AT astrojone DOT com so we can help you?
Wonderful! You guys gave me inspiration for a side project!
great asthetic
