Also, Stellar Blade peaked at 180k concurrent players yesterday. Pretty damn impressive seeing as Spider-man 2 (which is from a colossal IP) couldn't clock 30k players on Steam release a few months ago.
@HaseoVII fully agreed. The thing is when you make games to make money you make games like Stellar Blade and Black Myth. The numbers speak for themselves. If you make a game to send a message, you make games like AC Shadows. Concord. Dustborn, Unknown 9, and any other nonsense involved with the likes of Sweet Baby Inc. The numbers never lie...
Western devs are so afraid of making games that have attractive women, and that aren't inclusive to everyone. This may be a hot take, but I firmly believe that not everything needs to be inclusive. If everything catered to everybody, the world would be an incredibly boring and predicatable place
Papetura is a handcrafted puzzle adventure game made entirely out of paper. Along with atmospheric music made by Floex, it creates a mysterious and unique paper world, shrouded in shadow and light.
Craft Edition
The Story
Papetura tells a story about lonely paper creature Pape, trapped in a flowery prison. One day Pape escapes and finds little Tura, a magical being that he’ll take care of. Together they will have to face dark and flaming monsters which will try to burn down their beloved paper world.
How It Was Made?
Papetura was created entirely from paper. From locations, characters and objects, everything is a paper sculpture. Glued together, lit and set up on a photographic stage, they were transferred to a computer, where they made their way into the game in unaltered form.
The process was inspired by architecture models, makro-worlds and handcrafted games such as The Neverhood (1996). The hope was to make something unique, solely out of animated paper surrounded by light.
The Team
The game was developed by Tomasz Ostafin “Petums” over a period of 7 years, in cooperation with music composer Tomas Dvorak “Floex” and sound effects artist Juraj Mravec. On the path of development, Papetura has received tremendous support from friends and the game development community.
