For a personal project I also tried to have a custom segmented display produced… It was an amazing journey!

The PCB is being updated for a new ultra low power MCU (vs the current ESP32).

The only online document is this brief clip where it appears a few seconds in the very beginning:

I would love if there were an actual physical device released. Not for me but for my wife. It would make an amazing gift.

I never got very far in "Papers, Please" and found the experience very stressful. For my wife though it was kind of an introduction to gaming. She saw me playing and thought it looked interesting. She ended up being immediately really good at the game and got kind of obsessed playing through it umpteen times. This lead to her getting into Overwatch (RIP) and many other games to a lesser extent.

A little device as a commemoration of this would be incredible.

There’s also been a series at EEVblog on getting a custom LCD manufactured[1]. (Not that expensive, surprisingly—if you’ve got the expertise.)

This was exactly my starting reference for the project…!
