Welcome to Papermint!

Papermint is an all-new virtual world which combines advanced casual gaming and social networking within a comprehensive metagame.

Focussing on cooperation and positive social values, this unique metagame gives purpose and meaning to the world and its “gaming residents”.

The social networks established within the Papermint world via communication on diverse levels, collaborative gaming and the creation of self-made content are meaningfully connected to networks already existing in both real and digital space.

Papermint – as large as life.

Key concepts of Papermint

• Papermint’s metagame, "Capture the Social Flag!", features cooperation instead of dominance, a visualisation of the avatars’ souls, the establishment of powerful family bonds, and the protection of community resources.
• Papermint gives its "gaming residents" a reason to come back: players can establish social networks, become designers and take up a profession, explore, have fun, and live a socially rewarding life.
• Papermint is safe and easy: the game is based on a multi-access approach for a broad target group.
• Papermint represents the culmination of 3.5 years of conceptual design and 1 year of coding. The game is currently in its beta stage (the German version has been in operation in Austria since March 2007).
• Real user feedback is incorporated directly into the development of Papermint.
• Papermint currently exists as a downloadable Java client for the PC. A new release is made available to the public every month. Mac and mobile versions are in development.
• Papermint’s external artist program ensures that the game’s mini-communities have authentic and emotionally engaging places at their disposal where players can feel at home.
• Papermint feels real instead of looking realistic: the distinctive style of its graphics makes it unique and recognisable.
• Papermint is based on micro-transactions: players can customise and personalise their avatars by buying items, renting and furnishing flats, pursuing professions, and streaming media.
• Papermint offers non-intrusive in-game advertising opportunities, tracks data without the need for surveys and links advertising to gameplay sensibly.
