Hi friends !
Here’s the first step of our new painting feature: the Snappable Brush 🖌️
A radius of paint follows the King and snaps onto buildings to affect them. Purpose: to give more agency to players
How cool is that?! 👑✨

🔥 Did you know Paper Castle lets you define custom biomes that directly impact gameplay? 🌍⚔️
Every choice is a strategic decision — each biome changes how you’ll face the fire, pushing you to adapt your playstyle in surprising ways.
I’m in love with this feature ❤️
