Hey touchers-of-art!

Today/tonight I'm revealing my new art-based game 'Please, Watch The Artwork' during the Day Of The Devs stream, part of Summer Game Fest.

'Please, Watch The Artwork' is a spin-off from the 'Please, Touch The Artwork'-series, but NO WORRIES: 'Please, Touch The Artwork 3' is also in the making!

I will give a small introduction on why/how I made the game and you'll get to see the world premier of the trailer!

Tune in Friday June 6th (today) at 4pm Pacific Time, 7pm Eastern Time, 1am CEST, right after the official livestream of Summer Game Fest.

[h3]Hey Touchers-of-art![/h3]

I am overwhelmed with the positive reactions this game has received since its release earlier this year. We've reached more than 4000 reviews and a 99% positive to negative ratio making it one of the top 10 best rated games on Steam in 2024!
!!! THIS IS INSANE !!!

[h2]First of all: there will be a sequel! [/h2]
[h2]Here's how you can help to make this happen:[/h2]

Many people have written they would have paid for this game (or would still like to pay for it) and so I thought about a way for them to do this without compromising the free nature of the original product (which will always stay 100% free!).

[h3]DLC's[/h3]

I’ve introduced 3 DLC’s that are PURELY COSMETIC.
This means they won’t influence the gameplay and only add visual changes to the game.
They are meant to support me in making more games like these (more about that later!)
However, I did want to give you something in return to there are 3 features you can unlock:

• Your name will be mentioned in the credits of the game as seen on the screenshot.
  
• Your Steam Avatar is a painting somewhere in the game. It's still a hidden object game, so it's up to you to find it!
  
• Your Steam Friends are shown as paintings somewhere in the game. It's still a hidden object game, so it's up to you to find them!
