Cart Ministry combines elements from three well-known games: Papers, Please (mechanics) Like Papers, Please, the game is built around short, time-pressured interactions. People approach you one by one, and you must make quick decisions that have immediate consequences. VA-11 Hall-A (conversations) Conversations are the core gameplay. Your choice of words, tone, and timing directly influence how each interaction unfolds. Stardew Valley (relationships) Some characters return over time, allowing you to build relationships and see long-term impact based on your earlier choices.

I was experimenting with the MonoGame framework (https://monogame.net) and I got an idea for a theocratic game. I want to pitch this idea on this forum. A time-pressure conversation game where short interactions can grow into meaningful, long-term impact. In Cart Ministry, you stand next to a literature cart. People approach you one by one. Each interaction lasts ~20 seconds. You choose how to respond, tone, timing, and content all matter. Core gameplay a person arrives → timer starts You choose between 2–3 responses A hidden “heart meter” changes based on your approach Hit the right tone at the right moment → success Make poor choices or take too long → missed opportunity What makes it unique It’s not about “correct answers,” but understanding people Different personality types create a social puzzle system Conversations are short, but outcomes can carry forward over time A scoring system (“treasures in heaven”) rewards thoughtful, respectful interaction In Cart Ministry, every person you meet is different. Learning to read subtle signals is key to choosing the right approach. Open Person Friendly, approachable, and willing to engage. Warm smile Relaxed, open posture Maintains eye contact They are receptive. A kind and personal approach works best. Thinker Analytical and reflective. They want to understand why. Arms crossed while listening Slight head tilt Focused, observant expression They respond well to logic, structure, and clear explanations. Busy Person In a hurry, easily distracted, limited patience. Frequently checking their watch or phone Shifting weight, ready to leave Brief, clipped responses Keep it short and to the point. Respect their time. Skeptical Person Cautious, questioning, sometimes defensive. Slight frown or raised eyebrow Leaning back or keeping distance Hesitant or probing tone They need respect and space. Listening is more effective than pushing. Players aren’t told directly who they’re dealing with. Instead, they learn to observe, interpret, and adapt. In Cart Ministry, literature isn’t just something you hand out — it’s a strategic resource. You have a limited number of items each day (magazines, brochures), so when you offer them matters just as much as who you offer them to. The Core Rule Literature is only effective when the heart level is ≥ 60. Outcomes Based on Timing < 60 → ❌ Wasted The person isn’t ready yet. Offering literature too early feels pushy and has little to no impact. ≥ 60 → ✅ Bonus The person is open. Giving literature now reinforces the conversation and rewards you. ≥ 80 → 💥 Major Bonus Perfect timing. The person is highly receptive — this creates a strong, meaningful outcome and maximum reward. Do you think this is a good idea? Are there C# .NET developers who would like to work this out together in an open-source project?

Oxygenated perfluorocarbon (PFC) In the movie The Abyss, the liquid that carries oxygen is oxygenated perfluorocarbon (PFC). This substance allows divers to breathe underwater without the risk of decompression sickness. The film showcases the use of this liquid in a scene where a rat is submerged in it, demonstrating its ability to carry oxygen and survive underwater. You still need SCUBA gear, but you don't have to worry about extreme pressures or desompression.

Most likely 😉

Will it now be 136?

I can't decide if I'm more looking forward to new broadcasting or convention program. 😆

I've been doing it as last resort. If it happens again, I will try it first and see what happens.

Or a sarcastic taunt to Islam. A modern day, "where is your god? Have him save you! I've defeated everyone around you! Will your Allah save you?! Praise be to Allah!"

I would like to answer you, because I do really enjoy a well played game, but I think I'm not supposed to associate with your kind*.... Silver and Black, for about 50 years now... For our non NFL family: *(Silver and Black refers to the former Oakland Raiders, now out of Las Vegas, Nevada. Being from the Oakland/ San Francisco area originally, there is a built in, across the Bay rivalry with the San Francisco 49ers that has been pretty intense at times.)

Good thinking Richard! 😂

I wasn't thinking clearly... And we just had the readings of Jesus last days on earth and the talk for the memorial. I feel so bad for not making the connection. How careless of me 😭

Absolutely. Physics is physics. It won't change.

In my reply to Barbllm, I expressed the same desires. With everyone doing their current jobs, they will have a head start on subjects that they were doing in the system of things and now in the New World get to learn about the perfect aspects of it + what they wanted to in the past but couldn't 💜 If they were not done away with.

yeah, we won't become superman

Jesus showed that a perfect body can feel pain and die, so I definitely plan to use SCUBA gear...😁

This I am very interested in as well. I wonder how that will work 🤔 I'm sure we're still going to have meetings and conventions so it looks like when we build the rocket we're going to have to have a miniature Kingdom Hall... or even make the rocket big enough to be its own building like what they are doing for Ramapo have its own kitchen, rooms, and everything else we would need 😄 like the movie Wall-E but without the obesity and earth will be cared for by other brothers and sisters who want to learn more and enjoy it longer. This also leads me to wonder if teleportation will be possible because everything in space is so far and takes forever to get to 🤯

Like I said with Tortuga's comment, I wonder if we will even need diving gear anymore, or will there be some limitations of what our perfect bodies would be able to do? Since there won't be any pain we shouldn't be doing anything that would hurt us. And there couldn't be anything to harm us, even to ourselves? 🤔 Another Jehovah question. 😅 It looks like we're going to be buddying up to learn being Naturalist together 😊 I used to want to be an exotic veterinarian, or one of those people on National Geographic or Animal Planet researching, taking pictures and videos of those rare to find animals, or even an author who helps write those giant DK and Smithsonian books. In the New World, I want to be everything, do every job, I want to know EVERYTHING! The best part is that we will live for eternity and the knowledge to gain will never end 💜

This makes me wonder if we would need scuba diving gear or submarines anymore. Will we still be affected by water pressure? We should most definitely be able to hold our breath longer having perfect bodies. I think we would need submarine lights to be able to see because darkness is still dark no matter how perfect our eyes are 😂

Since Jehovah knows me best I will be excited to learn where he uses me..I have been a nurse for 40 years and retired for three. I can't wait to learn a new course . I can come back to the study of our physical body but want to do something completely different.. even cosmetology excites me. Massage therapy. Cooking..painting study of color. Every aspect of study I want to encounter .

Yes, I've been managing it for my congregation for a while. It's primarily intended to be managed through the website on a computer. The mobile app is mostly for publishers to reference and make notes while in a territory. It covers everything I can think of regarding maps, locations, assignments, records, etc. It's relatively simple to learn, but it can be very time consuming depending on how much detail/locations you add to each map. Definitely worth paying for in my case. I think it would be best if you read their help section and watch their videos. https://www.territoryhelper.com/Help

I want to study space and go there too
