David Ferriz, co-founder of Spanish studio DevilishGames, shares the development story behind Cutout Village, a cozy city builder and crafting game inspired by 1990s cut-out paper house sheets. The game blends city-building, crafting mechanics, and narrative around rural depopulation in Spain, featuring a handcrafted watercolor paper aesthetic. The team built a custom Unity tool to define fold lines, cut lines, and glue points, while also designing all 50+ buildings to function as real printable paper models for an accompanying book release. The full game targets a Q3 2026 launch on Steam and consoles.
