Yeah, the original Postal was pretty much that. It's kind of like the 90's version of Hatred, if anyone remembers that game's existence. A far cry from the wacky and comedy filled Postal 2.

Ok we'll see, it looks like not my kind of game I would like to play, but who knows, I'll be happy to give a shot to this one.
If it's release on dreamcast one day.

I didn't see any from retro sumus developpers until now.

I've been working on this for the last month or so. I had hoped to have finished it by now, but I've lost a lot of time to numerous platform idiosyncrasies, and I perhaps underestimated the effort in integratinng Dreamcast PVR support within the existing graphics subsystem (as expected, I hit system RAM limits early on, so needed to get images moved over to graphics memory.)

Anyway, I have posted a cheeky teaser of the intro screen here https://twitter.com/i/status/1339713428282363909

Just checked your video out looking good, brilliant work!

I'm sure there'll be a lot of happy people if you can get this working fully on the Dreamcast.

Maybe Running With Scissors will offer you a job? :D

So looking at what Retro Sumus and JoshProd were discussing there; it seems like they could release it physically if running it on the DC is doable ?

Just thought I would check in and see how this was going?

Progress seemed good on the last update

Excited to get the chance to play this if you think it will get completed :D
