Passpartout: The Starving Artist News

Bonjour🥖🍷

While development is still intense we'd like to pause for a while to wish you all a happy Valentine (a bit in advance). Take a moment to treat your loved ones and show them how much they mean to you.

Passpartout drew a little Valentines card on a piece of paper, found near the docks. It's our little way of showing appreciation for all the love you've been giving the game so far. So thank you and stay awesome!❤️

Just in case, here is the Passpartout 2 page ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و

Heya! Mattias here, Game Director for Passpartout 2🍷🥖

I hope you had an amazing Winter Holiday and a great New Year! It’s been time consuming but we’re finally ready to share some of the tools we’ve got cooking! 🍳


🖌 Drawing is obviously important in Passpartout so I’m happy we’ve been able to take a ton of time to make them feel great. When designing the tools we wanted something that felt playful, was easy to use and that inspired you to create. The results? Well, you can check out the tools in action below!





🎨 Each tool has its own texture and feel and by combining them you can create some really cool stuff! The painting experience is kept in the spirit of Passpartout by keeping it easy to use. You're able to change among the many tools and change size or color. We leave layers, filters and other advanced stuff to the painting softwares out there to keep the game lighthearted and fun!


Let us know what you think in the Discord! Are there any tools you want to see in the game 👀?


Also, please don't forget to wishlist Passpartout 2!

Bonjour, Benjamin here!🥖🍷

You might be wondering what I've been doing since the events of the first chapter in the Passpartout saga. Here is my story so far:

After witnessing the rise of Passpartout I grew tired of the loud, rancid streets of Paris and wanted something more fulfilling; a purpose. I needed a chance to grow and help others do the same. I spoke with my wise grandfather about what to do. He recommended I move to Corsica to work as a humble tangerine farmer to gain some perspective and wisdom. With a hint of skepticism, I followed his advice and booked train tickets.

By complete chance, I was discovered by a modelling agency on the ferry ride and was invited to join them in sunny Milano. At first I ignored the invitation but after two weeks of growing and perfecting tangerines in Corsica, I felt the modelling career calling out to me. The money, the glamour, and a life of excess were all too tempting for me to pass up. I packed my bags and left my life as a farmer to become part of the refined world. I was taken in by the agency where I was cultivated, improved and shown off to the world. I had become the tangerine; a polished product made for the consumption of the masses and a golden shell of my former self.

Every crop has its season, however, and Milano had become the city I had tried to flee. The once sunny streets had now started bearing a striking resemblance to the loud and rancid streets of Paris.

Out of the blue disaster struck and my grandfather passed away, leaving his world-famous art supply store behind. I knew what I had to do and promptly booked tickets to Phénix. Now I continue his legacy by running the art supply shop. The modelling career was fun while it lasted but it was not meant to be as I have once again become the cultivator I aimed to be from the beginning.

Art is my crop and the supplies are my soil.

Anyway, business is pretty slow and we have an 80% discount on paint thinner this afternoon. Get supplies while they last!

-Warm regards, Benjamin🎨

Bonjour everyone!


I'm Christina, the chaotic new art intern and self-proclaimed French spy at Flamebait. My speciality is stylized 3D, vibrant textures… and an unnecessary amount of puns during work hours.

Currently, we're creating a lot of fun new props to populate the fresh environments of Passpartout 2, and hopefully make your future experience all the more immersive!



This is an example of what we've got in store for you: the before and after for the little house where everything begins. There's a lot of hidden details in the textures if you squint – we hope you'll uncover all the little secrets we've embedded into the game, and look forward to future updates!🥖
