Paperboy Teaser Trailer

Paperboy Elevator Pitch

Paperboy is like if mario was a depressed burger joint employee, and also he had to fight shadow demons from hell (former managers).

Copy Copied!

Playstyle is like if Zelda met Binding of Isaac met Viewtiful Joe.

Copy Copied!

Paperboy faces the grief from the loss of his mother, so finds himself in a portal to the paperlands. He fights out of control greed and corruption in Catland, depression and genocide in Skull Island, laziness and hedonism in Artificial Wasteland, narcissism in Dragon Temple, and apathetic cynicism in Shadowland.

Paperboy's Dev Story

I'm Jeff, gaming since I was 4 years old when my gamer dad taught me MS-DOS so I could boot into DOOM. I'm a passionate artist who likes hand drawing, and hand painting, oil being my preferred medium. Many of my characters are based on sketches or oil paintings I've done.

I dropped out of high school due to bullying, extreme social anxiety and depression. Life kept going and it started going well until...

My ex left and took my kid, and I almost became homeless. I became a horrifically depressed addict junkie for an entire year. I was hospitalized for withdrawals and then went to detox & rehab and am just barely 6 months sober.

I had to get a job working for a particular burger joint, and the experience was so shitty I thought I'd make a game out of it. I reached an all time low in life, so channeled the need to get out of a shitty situation into game dev.

This is my first foray into serious game development. Fuck it dude, WE'RE DOING IT LIVE.

I've done literally everything solo dolo since shiiiiit dude I can't afford to pay anyone lmao.
