I've been making a tele-donation phone operator simulation.

The player goes through all of the randomly shuffled call cards and attempts to get pledges from the potential benefactors. The player does this through a time based system of branching dialogue based on a telemarketer's comeback list. I am focusing on accuracy of the mechanics as a representation of how telemarketing works. Every 20-30 minutes your supervisor will score you. If you try to quit the game your boss will be frustrated for your leaving.

I am making a bunch of dialogue charts in Google Drive's Drawing application and the link is >>>>> https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B25ixuBBGFaeTFdQVFZlSHlDVkk&usp=sharing
All of the different charts are in the folder labeled "Scenarios".


I hope you enjoy what I have so far. :-)

Update:
I figure I should probably post my production blog here too. http://daytondaytona.blogspot.com/

Sweet man, definitely go play Papers, Please. That'll really show you how to do a game like this right. I'm not saying copy it, but there is a lot to learn from Papers, Please.

This is genius. I checked out the Google Drive docs, planned out very well. If you'd be looking for an artist, let me know !

I have heard of it, but on your recommendation I just watched a Let's Play of it. Oh man, that game looks pretty amazing! I have to buy it!

Thanks! I am planning on doing the graphics, but I might need help programming it.
