• Looking back, looking ahead
  August 13, 2025 by Vppbm

  Overall, I’m genuinely happy with what I’ve managed to juggle; balancing work and building this game alone was fun. Paper Knight in the 3D world is alive, playable, and standing on its single page... Continue reading
• Prototype complete!
  August 13, 2025 by Vppbm

  Big milestone today: Prototype 1 is finished! I’ve added the last finishing touches, tweaked the layout, and made sure all the pieces work together the way I envisioned. It’s not perfect, but it... Continue reading
• Font fiasco
  August 13, 2025 by Vppbm

  Ran into a new problem today: the font. On screen it looked crisp and elegant, but after printing on my home printer it’s coming out way too faint. It feels like the text is whispering when it shoul... Continue reading
• Printing trials
  August 13, 2025 by Vppbm

  Started printing today, and… let’s just say it’s trickier than I expected to get everything perfectly aligned. The good news is: it’s working as intended. The bad news? The character sheet is... Continue reading

  
• A knight gets some style
  August 13, 2025 by Vppbm

  Big win today: I got a friend on board to do some neat drawings and decals for the paper (shoutout to Carol!). Seeing the Paper Knight take shape with proper art instead of my rough placeholders is…... Continue reading

  
• Scrap that
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  Scrap that, I was just overcomplicating things trying to reinvent leveling up. Time to come to terms and simplify. Right now, I’m focusing on letting players level up after each campaign, with some... Continue reading
• Growth
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  I really, really want to explore the concept of growth. For context: the One-Page RPG Jam 2025 has an optional theme, and this year the theme is… growth, written in bold green letters. You can use t... Continue reading
• Not that bad after all
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  Welp, it wasn’t that bad after all! My page is still a bit cramped and I’m playing around, but I’m finding some nice compromises, and the idea actually seems to be shaping up okay-ish. So here... Continue reading
• A vision (well… sort of)
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  I’d love to say I received a grand vision in my dreams for the next step — but let’s be real, it wasn’t that hard to figure out a way that’s easier than folding paper: just glue it. Sure, I... Continue reading
• The one who folded was me
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  Well… I gave up! After some good talks with friends and testing the concept, it became clear: not everyone wants to sit and fold origami just to play. Asking players to follow third-party instructio... Continue reading
• Folding worlds
  August 12, 2025 by Vppbm

  Today, I’m diving deeper into the origami side of Paper Knight in the 3D world. The idea of making the pieces foldable — both dice and knight — felt right from the start, but now it’s time to... Continue reading

  Today I’m finally putting into words what’s been spinning in my head for a while. The idea of an isekai-style RPG isn’t exactly new, but I didn’t think of the usual Japanese tropes. Instead, m... Continue reading
