Designed some fresh goods (shirts, stickers, posters, etc) Released the soundtrack on a few streaming services Made a $100K donation to the International Rescue Committee (rescue.org) Created a free de-make game: "LCD, Please" More details on the homepage: https://papersplea.se/#year10 Thank you! |
| Update 1.4.11 | 2023-03-21 | Taking care of a few more issues. Mainly, super slow animations when running at insane framerates, and muted sounds. Changelist Reworked frame sync logic, again, to fix slow animations. Tries 60fps vsync first, then CPU sync. Fixed bad language selection dialog when booted with unknown language Fixed zeroed sound volumes on locales with "," decimal point Always stretch screen to extents in windowed mode Added 720p and 1080p commandline options to override native fullscreen resolution |
| Update 1.4.10 | 2023-03-12 | This is a small update to address issues reported in version 1.4.9. Please comment below or send a support request if you're still seeing problems with the game. Changes Fix softlock when detaining Simon Wens while he's leaving Fix crash when too many items appear on night list Fix day 4 rent increase to apply immediately Fix repeated dialog when multi-clicking interrogation button Possible fix for animation/physics stutter by always capping framerate at 60fps Possible fix for zeroed music and sound volumes on startup Increase mouse double-click timing from 0.15 to 0.2 seconds Remove booth upgrade night budget option if unpurchased after day |
| Version 1.4.9 - Engine Update | 2023-03-07 | Version 1.4.9 is a technical update to "Papers, Please" that transitions the underlying engine from Haxe/OpenFL to Haxe/Unity. This is a major change that will hopefully fix a number of systemic issues that have been building up over the years on modern OSes and hardware. In addition to the engine change, some small logic, localization, graphic, sound, etc issues have been fixed. If you see something that looks broken, please report it in the comments or through https://3909.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new There is no new game content in this update. A brief changelist: Engine converted to use Unity Many small bug fixes Added Korean, Turkis |
| Invisible Update Incoming | 2022-11-27 | As part of porting this game to phones, I re-wrote most of the code in Haxe and switched from OpenFL to Unity as the core engine. That's worked ok so far on phones and now it's time to transition the desktop builds to this new version. This is intended to be a mostly invisible update on desktop - no content changes and no loss of progress. Still, the fact that so much has changed behind the scenes has made me cautious. Beta Testing Version 1.4.5 covers Windows/Mac/Linux and is now available on the preview branch. If you're feeling brave, please give this version a try and let me know if you notice anything different or run into any problems ( |
| Version 1.2.76 | 2022-03-09 | 1.2.76 Added a Ukrainian localization (from Skovoroda l10n) Changed some Identity Supplement feature descriptions |
