TBH, I stopped working on it for ~4 years in the middle. I kinda resurrected it. So really only actively deprioritizing settings for ~4yrs 😅

Thank you!! 🥰

I've put off making a settings menu for this game for 8 years.

I think it's time.

🖼️ New Painting!

Portrait of Derain by Vlaminck

OMG. Loving these Fauvists! Amazing palettes. Thick juicy fields of color. My 1st attempt. Lotsa room for improvement. Seems a good difficulty. Def a keeper.

"you ignore working on precise outlines to instead… cover the canvas… much like actual painting itself."

NEW PAINTING SELECT SCREEN!

Paintings are now organized into collections (e.g., Minimalism, Renaissance...). Feels much more manageable. As the brits would say, I'm pretty chuffed.

Only my 4th or 5th iteration 😅

🖼️ New Painting!

Sudden Shower Over Shin-Ōhashi by Hiroshige

Another Ukiyo-e well-suited for the game. Details of people are hard , but nice, simple background. Such great atmosphere. Funny, I have a tshirt of this print.

Also, one where I felt like I had to include the stalks in their hands to keep the meaning of the painting even though they're pretty impossible to forge.

🖼️ New Painting!

The Gleaners by Jean-François Millet

Realism! A classic of the movement w/a very constrained color palette. Another fun one to forge. Nice balance of simple background and challenging foreground.

Digging through the forgeries crates, I spied this one... someone painted La Danse when they were given Whistler's Mother (thus the odd color palette).

If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.

Super psyched to be a part of the Flash Game Vibes Steam Event. Love the theme! Saw quite a few art-oriented games 🎨

I do as well! Such a great conversation. I don't think there could have been a more perfectly-suited interviewer! So glad we've been able to randomly run into each other the past few years (and be exposed to more of your amazing work).

Let's continue that 😀

I love this game. Could gush for ages about how it plays with changing how you see an image, taking focus away from details and into use of space, or even as data

Reminds me of the old Neil Buchanan adage "draw what you see, not what you think you see" - art-making as a process of learning to see

Such kind words! Thanks, Alistair ❤️
