Upcoming update - Public BETA

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!

HEWWOOOOOO EVEWYONE!!1!

[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!

(An early look at a battle with a new boss)

[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!
