Nice going!

Let's hope it gets as popular as Papers, Please.

... but on the occasions you do, they're always talking about something absolutely crazy. Like how Finster managed to successfully profile and capture a prolific serial killer, or rescue a load of small kids stranded during a flood, or how he confronted and outdebated a physicist during a TED seminar. Yet your only interactions with Finster involve him breathing heavily, and staring at you with those big, stupid eyes. He never moves, never talks, never does anything besides EEHH HEEE EEHH HEEE.

Worked well for Morn ( (http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/wiki/Morn) ) cannot see any reason it would not work in game setting too. I am already amused just from imagining it.

Wow. I forgot all about Morn! He was probably subconsciously influencing me.

Wouldn't that be nice...

Last thing to add now is achievements, trying to think of some clever and fun ones, besides the generic "get X ending." Obligatory "Banhammer" for banning all articles xD

I've got some shadows! They're only cast on the ground layer, but it helps certain terrain types a lot. The shadows are painted, too, lol, but you can't really tell.

I took three different tries at making low brush sets, and combined them in a single tile. Now it works much better! Also, I've painted big/high bushes. Low brush slows movement and can be hidden in with the stealth skill. High bushes also block line of sight.

I tried coloring the different types of rocks. I have mixed feelings about the result. They certainly "pop" better, but they were IMO pretty distinguishable before. I don't really like the look as much. Might try a different set of colors. In gameplay, the low gravel slows movement, the medium boulders also can be hidden in with stealth skill, while the big ol' rocks are impassable and block line of sight.

Yeah, it looked better before, even if it did blend together too much.

Instead of going for entirely different sets of colors, why not just make the larger rocks brighter shades of grey?

Better, but you should also add bit of shadow on the bottom of the rocks themselves to give it a sense of grounding:

All I can see in that picture is "anit_immigrant".

(Yes, I know it's an internal name and it doesn't matter.)
