Hello Papercaders!

A new update to Papercade is now live on the App Store: recording and sharing videos directly from the game. Videos, like this one, or this one, can be made while playing any of the mini-games in the Play tab or even while crafting your own. There are two types of videos that you can record, which are outlined below.

Basic Video Recording At the end of any Papercade you will see a new button (under replay and like) that says Share Replay Video. Tap that button and you will instantly be able to share your gameplay with friends on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, or by email.

Recording Live Commentary Before beginning any Papercade - where you see the game information if you're playing, or the kit information before crafting - you will notice a new set of buttons at the bottom of the card (under the play / start craftingbutton). These are to enable audio recording or even a picture-in-picture video recording to accompany the gameplay.

Advanced Features In the share window there are a couple other options available to make your Papercade video more personal. One is to add your own message and hashtags to encourage friends to watch your masterpiece. The other is to preview and edit the video by tapping the video thumbnail.

That's it! Remember to share your videos with us and the Papercade community on Facebook and Twitter.

The evening of October 16, 2014 we will be presenting Papercade at the October edition of the MRGS Craft Meetup. Held monthly, these meetups focus on the craft and experience of designing games.

Throughout Papercade's development we have often sought feedback from local game developers and enthusiasts. Our presentation on Thursday will be a discussion on the evolution of Papercade as a result of this feedback and - now that Papercade is live on the App Store - what type of improvements can be made to create a better in-game experience for our budding creative community.

Time for a Diyorama update! We're renaming it to Papercade.

We believe that to make the best creative social game we can Papercade will likely go through many evolutionary stages.

We want a game where players of all skill and experience levels can express themselves and create their own original mini-games. Papercade reflects that by harkening back to the simplicity and accessible nature of grade school diorama boxes and paper collages.

Later this month, January 28 to be precise, we will be showing off the latest version of Papercade to the Montreal games community at the IGDA Montreal DemoNight.

We'll be floating around taking signups for our beta test, so be sure to say 'hi' to any one of us from Hololabs and get your name one the list. You can also show your interest by signing up on the Papercade website.

It's exciting to see such a diverse lineup - from teams to content to platforms - and it will be great to see what our fellow game developers have been up to lately.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
