Spent the last few weeks wiring up sound to everything. Projectile sounds, shelter doors creak, each enemy type now has its own spawn sound. Good audio is what makes a world feel real. We also added a new painting animation ! Try the demo -> hectiq.games/5Ju&7w #indiedev

Hectiq - Painted Kingdoms & Los Pingheros @hectiq.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

The painting is at the core of the gameplay: you paint wherever you want, and it affects all the game elements differently depending on the paint you choose 🎨 You should give it a try, the demo is live on steam !

Every vertex knows how far it is from the paper's edge. We bake that distance into the mesh itself, so the shader can fade and ink-bleed right where paper ends. No per-frame GPU tricks, just data built in. #gamedev #indiegame #shader Try the demo -> hectiq.games/5Ju&7w

Thronefall has been an inspiration, we loved it !! But we are trying to propose new things with the fire, painting and spells. Come try the demo, and tell us if you feel the difference. That means a lot to us !

In 9 days, we have a big announcement, and we can't wait to share it with you. 👀 Oh, and one more thing... Paper Castle is now Painted Kingdoms. A new name for something bigger. 👑 #indiegame #gamedev

We added Paint Spells to give Paper Castle more depth. Upgrade your castle, fill the gauge, and unleash the Paint Spells. Water explosions or giant mountains? Which one are you picking for your loadout? 🎨🔥 #indiegame #gamedev #gaming #magic Wishlist Paper Castle Now !!! bit.ly/49MsjMm

You survived the fire. Now comes the best part. 😌 The Wave of Restoration returns the paper world to its original state and triggers resource collection for everything still standing. Survive the burn. Get paid. Repeat. #gamedev #indiegames #towerdefense Wishlist Paper Castle Now! bit.ly/49MsjMm

Walls are just a suggestion when Fire Archers are on the field. In Paper Castle, these units can ruin your day if you aren't prepared The good news? They love to group up. Which tower would you use to stop them? 👇 #IndieGame #GameDev #StrategyGame Wishlist Paper Castle Now! bit.ly/49MsjMm

The King is the core of Paper Castle 👑 He builds and upgrades using resources, can paint terrain, and switches between weapons during combat. He’s powerful, but fire can take him down. Long live the King. #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame #king #strategy Wishlist Paper Castle Now! bit.ly/49MsjMm

We started with a placeholder Then we kept iterating. A lot. Concept, modeling, texturing, rig, animation. He finally feels like he belongs in the world. Huge difference 😄 #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame #strategy #king Wishlist Paper Castle Now !!! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Level painting started as pure visuals. We tied it directly to gameplay. Forests reinforce. Water slows fire. Terrain affects outcomes. Every brushstroke now changes how the level plays. #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame #strategy Wishlist Paper Castle Now! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Fire Piercers weaken buildings with fire before attacking. Sniper towers are a good counter 🎯 Long range and focused damage let you deal with them early. Small matchup, big difference. #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame #strategy Wishlist Paper Castle Now !!! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Hi, nights felt a bit empty in Paper Castle 🌙 So we added small lights to the buildings. It makes the world feel more alive. (And no, they’re definitely not powered by fire 😄 #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame #citybuilder #strategy Wishlist Paper Castle Now! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Hi friends! Your paper castle isn’t just towers. Walls, wells and barracks can be upgraded too. Some get tougher, some give more resources, some unlock special effects. It helps. But paper still burns #towerdefense #gamedev #indiegame Wishlist Paper Castle! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Ashlings don’t rush you. They pressure you. They force bad timing. They punish hesitation. In Paper Castle, some enemies win by waiting for your destruction #gaming #gamedev #indiegaming #towerdefens Wishlist Paper Castle now!!! store.steampowered.com/app/3596730?...

Resource buildings are about scale. The more you have, the faster your economy grows. Placement still matters, but volume is what unlocks options. #GameDev #IndieDev #PaperCastle

Hectiq - Painted Kingdoms & Los Pingheros @hectiq.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

POV: you spend way too long tuning fire VFX. Slightly more readable, a bit less noisy, and much easier to track under pressure. Totally worth it 😅 #gamedev #indiegaming #fire #papercastle

Hectiq - Painted Kingdoms & Los Pingheros @hectiq.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

In Paper Castle, painting used to be mostly about looks. Now it quietly affects fire spread, defense strength, and how safe an area actually is. Still looks nice though 🙂 #Gamedev #IndieGame #Painting

Hectiq - Painted Kingdoms & Los Pingheros @hectiq.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

Towers are not protection. They are a bet. Place them right, and the fire slows. Place them wrong, and your castle burns anyway. #gamedev #indiegame #towerdefense #strategy
