Paper Wings is Desura approved!

We've got some really cool news here at Studio Hullabaloo. If you've visited the website between yesterday and today, you may have already seen it. Yesterday, we received via email that our submission to Desura was approved and that Paper Wings will launch on their store on June 27th, at 2pm Pacific Time! For those of you that know the developers, we've been pushing for this for a while now, as one of our primary goals with the game. When we started developing Paper Wings, with the end of our senior capstone in mind, we wanted to also have a shippable product that could be played by everyone, which has now been achieved. What's even better is that we will be making Paper Wings even more accessible by launching the game as a free to play title! You can pre-load Paper Wings starting today, by downloading the Desura Desktop Store, or download the raw executable on June 27th. We're super excited to have a launch date, and as the day gets closer we'll be announcing more goodies and surprises.

Paper Wings V0.85 Build Notes

Hey guys! So it's been a while since I've done one of these, but I know it's something that I need to get better at, especially if we're going to be announcing some big news soon.

Paper Wings V0.85 Build Notes

Details: We're working towards polishing our showcase build, so there are no new features to add. All of our levels are in and all of the menus works.

Changes:

  • We've updated the Boost Regeneration Collectible to now have a particle play, to clearly show that this item is meant to be used. 
  • We've updated the collection of Boost Regens and Hidden Items to now fire off particle effects when they are collected. 
  • The wind current effects have changed from leaves to petals. 
  • Free Roam now offers less hidden collectibles, as part of a two step update which will include more reason to explore and more things to do during gameplay. 
Bugs Fixed
  • The options menu now works no matter how many times you navigate to it. 
  • Pausing and restarting will no longer freeze the game. 
  • Players now restart from the last ring they passed, even if it was a miss. 
  • Collecting all of the hidden collectibles now properly turns on Schrankify Mode.
