Paper Planet News

Hey everyone! It's been awhile but I'm excited to announce that Paper Planet's first major content update is almost ready!

For testing purposes we're setting a public beta of the update live. This beta adds NINE new bosses, new unlockable "cores", and tons of QoL and balance tweaks (and soon some new items and achievements too).

The update is set to release the 13th of May, but we're looking to get some beta testers to help squish bugs and give feedback before the final release. If this interests you, you can opt into the beta in the game's properties tab under "betas" in your Steam Library.

If you have any feedback or find any bugs please join the community discord to tell us about it! It means a lot and it's very helpful for making this update as quality as we can.

You can join the Discord here: https://discord.gg/bjvQXAFZTx

Thanks so much for your continued support of the game, I know it's been awhile since the game has gotten any new content but I hope it's worth the wait!

[h2]WHAT NEXT?[/h2]
Paper Planet launched in August 2023.
Unity, the engine Paper Planet was made in, melted down in real time in September 2023.
Needless to say, confidence in our post-launch support plans was severely shaken. But Doodlegames has been coming back at Paper Planet anew in 2024, and are cooking up a nice juicy update!

[h3]ROADMAP-ish[/h3]

• The first update will be pushing for greater replayability, primarily through additional boss battles! How exactly those fold into the game is very fun, but I don't want to share too much at this time ;)
  
• New items, achievements and (hopefully) planets are in the works.
  
• We'd still really like to re-add the dialogue system for bosses! But it's a cost we need to carefully consider now that the game supports different localizations. AND the scale of that implementation is about to balloon significantly...
  
• From there we have a few larger plans for the game that we're just beginning to explore.

We've been thrilled with the reception of Paper Planet, and it feels great to be in a position to support the game further, and to give back in this way! Come hang out in the Discord for the latest word on upcoming updates.

[h2]FLASH GAMES FAN?[/h2]
It is my pleasure to share the triumphant return of the classic Flash series, William and Sly, has set a date for February 26th! Please be sure to give that a Wishlist.

A shared loved of Flash games is a big part of why I think Paper Planet was such a strong fit for 2 Left Thumbs as a publisher. And I hope for support of Flash classics to be a long standing pillar of this publishing label! If you're new to William and Sly, you can play the original titles for Free now!

[h2]3 YEARS[/h2]
A little over 3 years ago, I announced publicly that 2 Left Thumbs would be entering the indie game scene as a publisher, helping to bring Dead Estate to Steam! Never could I have guess what a smash hit that game would be.

Using that as a proper jumping off point, I worked hard to find promising new indies in need of some extra support. And as of today, there are 8 released titles in that catalog, with many more to come! It's my greatest privilege to be able to herald these great developers and their games, and to help them reach new audiences.



Unfortunately, due to some conflicting sales dates, Paper Planet is NOT on sale this weekend :(
However, you can still get the game at a discounted rate as a part of several bundles.

[h2]PUBLISHER SALE[/h2]
To celebrate this amazing milestone, the entire 2 Left Thumbs catalog is discounted! Several games are running their deepest ever discounts, while Picayune Dreams is running it's first ever sale!

If you want to REALLY show your support, the Micro-Publisher Mega-Supporter Bundle offers ALL these games together with an additional 25% off!!

[h2]BUNDLES[/h2]
If everything together is a bit much, I understand. There are a variety of bundles being run during this sale, designed to group together games I predict will have overlapping audiences.

Every bundle is a "Complete the bundle" style, meaning even if you own 1+ of the games, you can still buy the bundle for an additional discount without re-purchasing the game(s) you already own!!

Yipee, we've enabled Steam Cloud Saves! Hopefully it doesn't break horribly.

If an existing save doesn't sync to the cloud, just load into it in-game, and toggle "Unlock Everything" on and off, or something else that'll edit the save file. Steam will notice and sync it properly.

We're constantly looking for feedback and bugs - you can either post them here on Steam, or join our Discord for much faster reply times.
