Wet Paper is out!
An enhanced version of our #GGJ2025 game, made in C++ with the open source #nCine framework. The game itself is open source too!

I’ve added support for a bunch of environment variables that you can set to override any run-time value in your nCine AppConfiguration.

Things like fullscreen mode, VSync, output audio frequency, the data path, the log file name, and much more.
