It's been a long time coming - update 0.1.5.20841
We added a Day/ Night cycle and it can be upsetting if you have problems with flashing lights. This is by default ON but you can turn it OFF in the Settings. It can be disturbing especially if you play the game on Fast Forward/ high speed.
Hey everyone! It's been a long time since we updated Heart. Papers. Border.. So this update is pretty big, and I will probably forget to mention some of the stuff we have added. The game is, however, far from done. I look forward for your feedback!

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING!
We added a Day/ Night cycle and it can be upsetting if you have problems with flashing lights. This is by default ON but you can turn it OFF in the Settings. It can be disturbing especially if you play the game on Fast Forward/ high speed.

What is new
- All the countries for which we have graphics done are now available and can be visited once you finish the last quest in Sputnik City. They DO NOT have any quests, encounters or hashtags yet, however
- We added a day/night cycle which needs *A LOT* of tweaking but I think it adds to the game
- You can now see how much time you spend in every objective and in every country, in the SpacePad Location app
- We added the so called Birthday Mechanic which means you get a Space Cake when you grow older :) For now this is just aesthetics but this plays a crucial role for the end game
- We added more portraits you can play with, all of them inspired by fantastic real life people to whom we owe a great deal of thanks <3
- When you start a new game, we randomize the selection of portrait and gender
- We started to work on Influence. This is by far ready, but you can see how influential you are in each country from the SpacePad Location app
- The Blog has been optimized to support double click. So just double click on the hashtags you want to use
- We have done countless minor updates which should make the game play smoother
- We probably added more stuff that we forgot to keep track of. Note to self - keep track of what you add!

You are a freelance adventurer who wants to experience everything planet Heart has to offer, regardless of the inherited privileges determined by the country of your birth.
The current Heart. Papers. Border. build is in Early Access because it is an Early Alpha build featuring enough core mechanics and content to let you, awesome players, help us develop the best possible game from this concept!
Concept
You travel to learn, and as you pay a closer attention to what each country has to offer, you gather wisdom that you channel in a blog that grows in popularity. Eventually you come to grasp the power of your influence: where you pass, things change faster to the better, and locals that you have met increasingly demand openness from their governments. You have always been an optimist and dreamed of a completely border free world, but as you travel, you realize your influence into actually living to see your dream come true - that of living in a world without borders!Visuals
Heart. Papers. Border. is inspired by NASA's Visions of the Future posters, The Jetsons' cartoon series and current real life events. We chose vibrant colors and a retro futuristic style to gently remind you that Heart, just like Earth, is moving towards openness, kindness and love, even though the movement might sometimes seem too slow to notice. But you can always make a difference!Gameplay
Heart. Papers. Border. is as easy or as challenging as you want it to be. Through very simple control mechanics and up front information, you can strategize an optimal life that allows you to see the last border disappear in the course of your long and safe life. With multiple win conditions, challenging puzzles and morally difficult quests, Heart. Papers. Border. simply asks you how do you choose to live this virtual lifeSo how will you play?
- Create your Multipass and choose your Citizenship (Easy, Med, High, Random); this determines your starting conditions
- Take a look at your native country, look at the Top Bar to see your situation and starting conditions
- Click on touristic objectives to visit them, click on countries to apply for Visas and then visit them
- Gather hashtags from visiting objectives and write blog posts in your SpacePad
- Gain followers, become influential, and notice how planet Heart responds to your actions
A few Development Details
- This is a Pre Alpha game, and we have many features in the pipeline which are Work in Progress now. If you wish to keep track of our progress, we shared our live game design wiki so check our presence on the web. Please keep in mind:
- We aim to launch the first version of Heart. Papers. Border. somewhere this summer
- This is an evolving game, we aim to progressively update it until we or our community is out of ideas (which we hope is for years to come)
- We practice Open Game Design and welcome any feedback
Team
The core team is composed of Laura and Sebastian, who have been thinking about this idea long enough to invest their savings and spare time into actually building it. We were joined by the brilliant Pontus Lundén (The Westport Independent) for art and by the amazing Retro Brothers (of Easily Embarassed fame) for musicMINIMAL SETUP
