Hey, this is Eric! Unlike Ivy the Dragon, I'm one of the devs on Folded Fables: Tidy Up The Dragon Hoard. I announced our game on Reddit last week, and I'll admit that I was a little nervous. I've poured my heart and soul into this game, and I felt a little naked sharing it.

I've been thrilled with how supportive people on this subreddit have been. Thank you so much! It means the world to me that so many people embrace our papercraft tidy up game. And now to pass 10,000 wishlists… it is a dream come true. 

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (yes, I'm Canadian, and it is true that we say "thank you" a lot)

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here is a little bit about our passion project: Folded Fables: Tidy Up The Dragon Hoard is a tidy up game set in a pop-up storybook. It is like Paper Mario meets Librarian.

Our game contains no generative AI content. Some people may specifically wonder about the art used for the items because tidy-up games need a lot of unique items. We are using art from two of our games: Crusaders of the Lost Idols and Bush Whacker 2. Each and every one of the 500+ unique items in Folded Fables was drawn by one of our artists over the past 14 years.

Many of the in-game pieces, such as the pop-up book sequence, started as physical paper models before being recreated digitally. Even the Folded Fables logo was physically hand-folded with paper before being photographed for use in-game. If you want to know more, there are a bunch of behind-the-scenes pictures and videos on our Discord.

We are releasing on Oct 15th. So soon!!!!

Folded Fables: Tidy Up The Dragon Hoard is a tidy up game where you organize 5,648 papercraft treasures inside a world inspired by pop-up books and papercraft.

I've been drawn to paper ephemera and papercraft for as long as I can remember. Paper objects transport me to other times and places, both real and imaginary. And the feel of different types of paper is so wonderful that I've built up a bit of a collection at home. Every time I make something, I go to great lengths to find just the right paper. 

But I wasn't sure anyone else would enjoy our idea of combining this love of papercraft with a tidy up video game. Was it too weird? Would anyone else be intrigued by a world made of paper, inspired by pop-up books? I really couldn't say... all I knew was that I would love it, and so off we went on this journey that has resulted in Folded Fables.

For the past 3 months, I've had the great pleasure of watching our game come together. I'm so happy with the results, and I'm glad (plus a little relieved) that others share my enthusiasm. I can't wait for everyone to get a chance to try it out!

We are releasing on Oct 15th. Less than two weeks until release! Eeeek! Gotta go! So much to do!
