IGF Excellence in Visual Art

Hey Everyone!

When I started working on the game, as a joke I created a folder for the making-of videos named "the road to IGF". I think, it's as if the director named his folder 'the road to the Oscars' 😅 It was supposed to be funny but ..

I don't know how it happened, Papetura, my little imperfect game, started collecting awards at various festivals. It dared me to submit the game to the Independent Games Festival in San Francisco, a nomination came, and last night ... a win in the Excellence in Visual Art category.

I did not expect that, especially since I am far from being a good gamedev, and there are a lot of great games. Congratulations to all nominees and thank you all for your support, and to the Independent Games Festival for the award.

Dreams do come true sometimes..

A little discount to celebrate!

Daily Deal and IGF Nomination!

Hey Everyone!!

Something unbelievable happened, Papetura has been nominated for Excellence in Visual Art at Independent Games Festival Awards in San Francisco.
Few years ago it was a running joke for me that the game will be shown at IGF, and somehow it made it to the festival for real. Wish me luck guys!





Also for the first time, Papetura is on Daily Deal -30% on Steam website, I hope it will do well with wider audience.

Have a great weekend!

Awards, Upcoming Update and Winter Sale

Hey Everyone,

Awards!

Since the release, many of you asked why the game hasn't got any awards. That encouraged me and I applied to many indie competitions! It appears that you were right.. Papetura has won bunch of them, that is pretty overwhelming for me. I attended my first game festival, and finally met many friendly people in-person.

To wrap things up, here is what happened:

Pixel Awards Europe 2021
  • “Best Art” winner
  • “Best Audio” winner
  • “Indie Grand Prix” winner
CEEGA Central & Eastern European Game Awards 2021
  • “Visual Art” winner
  • “Hidden Gem” winner
DevGAMM Awards Fall 2021
  • “Excellence In Visual Art” winner
  • “Excellence In Audio” nomination
  • “Best Indie Game” nomination
Taipei Game Show Indie Game Award 2022 (nominations for now)
  • “Best Visual Art”
  • “Best Innovation”




Upcoming Pad Update!

The work on the game has not ended. While I was developing port on Nintedo Switch testing the game with gamepad was pretty fun, so that option will come also to PC! Some minor changes also will come along the way!




Winter Sale Discount and Bundle!

Paptura Collector's Edition is out, and it has game, soundtrack and artbook!
Also Papetura is now -30% off during Winter Sale!

Happy New Year!

Nominate Papetura!

Hey everyone!

It might be overkill to compete for a Steam Award, but maybe I should try?
If you like how the game looks please consider it for Visual Style Award!
