It's always nice to see unfinished games in jams. Nice work anyway

Cool folding! Would love to hear some SFX when you manage to fold paper! :)

Submitted

Nice folding. Would've been cool to see the full concept realized.

Awesome

nice tech, well done!

Big fan of origami, so the concept definitely speaks to me. Impressive you go this working in Three.js! I've never had a lot of luck getting things to work properly with that framework :( 

Developer(+1)

honestly my biggest problem on the framework side was just getting the bundler to work since I just wanted a vanilla typescript app; ended up going with Vite after switching between like 5 different approaches.

I think Three.js is pretty nice if you don't mind making lots of stuff from scratch, and have a good handle on linear algebra and transformation matrices. Makes for a nice lightweight app

who would have guesse folding a paper once was this enjoyable. imagine the possibilitys of multiple folds! good job with this.

This is really impressive for such a difficult concept to pull off! As someone who genuinely enjoys making paper planes, boats and swans I hope that you carry on with the idea :)

This feels very authentic, I imagine being able to fold multiple times would be cool as some kind of origami simulator you could tinker around with.

I like my paper folded!

Iinteresting the idea, but for now it's really it xD

Really cool concept, would like to try it again if you decide expand on it.

Developer

thanks! yeah definitely check back in a while, maybe a month or so. I absolutely want to build it into something bigger

Extremely polished, very nice design.

How on earth did you manage to make this feel so satisfying. I would add some nice paper sounds to it if you continue working on it. Really solid mechanic and prototype.

Developer

Agreed on the paper sounds. I wanted to have a continuous loop of paper folding sounds initially muted, and then increase the volume based on how fast you drag the edge. As for how satisfying it feels, I'm just as surprised. It started just as a hunch that click and drag from the edges would be a good control scheme, followed by way too much math to actually implement it

you got a cozy game mechanic on your hands, this was very calming

I just spent the past hour folding a simulated piece of paper.

This is weirdly satisfying

Submitted(+1)

This simulator is actually very realistic, nice! So sad that you weren't able to finish your idea :(

Submitted(+1)

Actually very pleasing to play around with the paper. The visuals are simple and striking! Despite the things you had to cut, i feel like this has potential as some sort of stress relief simulator! I expected to be able to fold the paper multiple times.  Nice :)

Developer(+1)

Yeah definitely. Turns out multiple folds is much harder than a single fold--computational origami is a whole field I gotta read up on

Sounds like a rabbithole. I really like the experiment. (Interactive) playful media is cool.
