Developer posts and news about this game.
This current era of the internet is very easily the worst one, even within its comparatively short existence. A myriad of reasons contributes to this, the most annoying and newest one being the advent of AI preying upon every last post you release unto the world. Artists are esse
Papers, Please and Return of the Obra Dinn creator Lucas Pope spoke about what he's working on next—and why we're not hearing about it more—on the latest episode of Mike & Rami Are Still Here , the podcast of Nuclear throne developer Rami Ismail and No More Robots founder M
There are few game developers quite like Lucas Pope. He created two of our favorite games of the 2010s with Papers, Please and The Return of the Obra Dinn, and practically created two brand new genres, too. Since that grand success, he's released some understated titles, includin

Dystopian border control simulator Papers, Please turns 10 years old this week, and developer Lucas Pope has marked the occasion by demaking it. Created in collaboration with Keiko Pope, the resulting browser-based LCD, Please "runs" on a mocked-up LCD console, akin to Nintendo's
Papers, Please is 10 years old! Hard to believe! I owe a sincere thanks to everyone that's supported me and my games over the last decade. A few things to celebrate the anniversary: Set up a $1.99 sale until the weekend, just a few days. Designed some fresh goods (shirts, sticker

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 addi
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 u

Lucas Pope's dystopian document thriller Papers, Please is, on the face of it, a puzzle game about catching people out, but I think it's actually a game about coping with being punched in the gut, over and over again, with the relentlessly regular beat of a bass saxhorn playing a
