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!

Hey everyone!

It might be overkill to compete for a Steam Award, but maybe I should try?

Papetura Update Is Here!

Hey Everyone,

For last months I've been working on Papetura major update, and it's finally here!
The main goal was to move the game to the latest version of the engine, and by doing this, resolve many issues with game not running properly. This was also an opportunity to improve many things in Papetura, from visuals to audio, I went over everything one more time.

Here it is, the changelog:
- Game engine update - fixed issue with Citrix drivers collision, and possibility to more precisely diagnose crashes.
- Improved/fixed some visuals, animations and sounds.
- Image is more crisp, reduced chromatic aberration a little bit.
- Added characters reactions to projectile hits.
- Increased player walk speed over longer distances.
- Monster chase puzzle is getting easier with more tries.
- Dropped support for all 32bit MacOS (due to engine update)
- Other minor bugs & fixes



Have a good time playing or replaying the game!


PS: If you encounter some game crashes after the update, please try to reinstall the game. Steam updater may unfortunately break some things..
