Hello fellow artists🥖🍷


So many of you have asked “When can I play the game?”, “When’s the Beta?”, et.c… And we’ve channeled our inner politicians for so long by giving the vaguest of answers. By the way, if you elect me I’ll make sure every citizen gets one free baguette per day. Anyways, today we’re politicians no more! (Unless you ask other questions we’re not ready to answer). Very soon you’ll all be able to get your hands on a slice of Passpartout 2 as we’re taking part in the Steam Next Fest June 2022 🎉





The demo will be available to play on Steam June 13th-20th! We’ve been working hard with trimming brushes, mixing paint and wiggling them puppets and we hope you’ll have a blast with it! It’ll be time exclusive so don’t miss this chance to check out the game and give us all the juicy feedback of what you love and hate (or maybe what you’re just luke-warm to).


If you can’t wait and just want to spend the coming days leading up to the demo staring at an image of the game in pure hype and suspense I got ya covered! Disclaimer, don’t stare for too long periods at a time, don’t forget to blink and remember to eat, sleep and hydrate.





We’ll send out a little boop once the demo goes live so you won’t miss it. But to be safe you should mark June 13th down in your little calendar or on your fridge or wherever you mark stuff down you ought to remember!


Until then, keep being as awesome as always❤️

Bonjour my fellow artists!🥖🍷



We recently reached a milestone of 20 000 wishlists for Passpartout 2!





We’re grateful and impressed by your wishlisting abilities. It’s amazing to see so many people excited to pick up the paintbrush again. Speaking of brushes we recently did some improvements to the watercolor brush I’d love to share with you.



Now I consider myself a mediocre artist at best, so for me it’s important that the brushes in Passpartout 2 help me make beautiful art. So far my favorite is the watercolor brush. It leaves behind this lovely texture that chaotically builds shapes that I can add to, helping me create some pretty sweet art. I especially like using it for drawing water or fire, but I’m sure the creative minds out there can find many more uses for it! I mean, the masterpieces you made with the barebones tools of Passpartout 1 is mind blowing so I can only imagine what you’ll cook up with this!


 
Here’s a little time lapse of me using the watercolor and some other tools to draw a tiny boat on the ocean, minutes before getting hugged by a big-boy octopus.





Now it’s time to go back to the development dungeon. Thank you for tuning in and stay awesome!

Bonjour my fellow artists!🥖🍷


Today I wanted to share a little easter egg with you! Which I guess maybe prevents it from being an easter egg? Anyways, it'll be our secret egg🥚!




Meet MS Karashi, Harry's trusty fishing boat⛵️. He and his daughter Gabrielle used to often go out on fishing trips. Though not so much lately as Gabrielle has gotten older.




Now what's the easter egg you ask?! Karashi is actually the name of our marketing wizard Miya's cat🐈! This feline floofball has contributed so much in our work-from-home meetings. Though there is a bit of a language barrier as no one in the office speaks the Meowish language (^_^;)
