Passpartout: The Starving Artist news & patch notes

We're nearing in on 7 years! My how time files. It was a wilder time, with steam greenlight having its final submissions, and us here at Flamebait fresh out of university. It also was a time where Steam supported 32 bit applications for MacOS. 32-bit Mac has since become a thing of the past. None of our newer products include it, and it has at last become time to discontinue it from our very first release as well. If you play on a Mac, don't worry. We still have the 64-bit version, which has been the norm for Mac devices for a decade at this point. With that we bid farewell to our Mac 32-bit version. We will fondly remember your limited addressable space.

Bonjour, artisans unbowed! 👻 We've found some weird postcard today! We think it's addressed to you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/bebfda073f3c9316604048a29b512430ded2a4f9.png --- To those of you who're playing Passpartout, you'll find creepy critters are on the loose! Ghastly spirits, ghosts - it doesn't matter, For their devilish headpieces are quite dapper.

Bonjour our fellow artist 🍷🥖 It is getting warmer and spring-like in Sweden🌸Hope everyone is doing well! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/54dc64459c9fbe0f2fa7978ad5844543dcbcc83f.png With only five days until launch, we wanted to share the results of the Ad-poster event we held a few weeks ago! The magnificent posters you created have finally made it into Bull Street and wow did it help bring that place to life!🚗🚙 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/e84bd928b918372d6a9e0a200e97c26b75462c91.png To be real with you we’re both extremely excited and completely terrified to finally release the game. We’ve worked hard every day for over two and a half years to make a worthy sequel to Passpartout: The Starving Artist. In the end, we’re super proud of the results and hope that you’ll find a ton of joy in painting your heart away!✨ For those of you interested in a bit of Flamebait lore we were only University students when we made the first Passpartout. Now we’re self-proclaimed professionals delivering the sequel after 6 years. But we wouldn’t have made it without the help of so, so many people. Huge thanks to Synkronosauus, our composers, for making those sweet tunes, and thanks to the interns, testers, QA, localizers, family, friends and of course you, the community. Without the love we received we’d never have been able to live out our indie dream and Passpartout 2 would never have come to light ❤️ We can’t wait to get Passpartout 2 into your hands! Thanks //Flamebait Team

Bonjour my fellow artists🍷🥖 Spring is right around the corner 🌸We’re almost ready to announce our release, but before we do, we wanted to host a tiny creative event 🎨 There's an area called “Bull Street” brimming with savvy business- folk, and there are several blank ad spaces! I thought it’d be fun to invite you to make up three silly or fun ad posters to be featured in the game! This can be anything from a made up fast food chain to an ad for a made up travel agency!🏦 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/5a9e81c2598caec3d6310fc5c596ed14c711d080.png The call for entries is open for six days starting today! Next week on March 8th, we will announce the three ads we think fits best and put them into the game as outdoor ads. In order to make something that works in this game there are some requirements, so please read the application form before you start! This is also the place you submit your masterful ad creation 🖼 ↓↓↓

【Submit your creation 🖼】

We are looking forward to seeing your wild creations❤️ // Papa Mattias

Bonjour my fellow artists🍷🥖 It's February already! We are so engrossed in game development that we lose track of time. We’ve just sent an electronic pigeon to everyone who’s signed up, so please check your e-mail! 📬 🕊️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/5c8b6f048f8ddc55bf172a777c9ae124b15bd5c0.png To make sure we select people who really want to play the closed beta we’re doing a second sign-up. You can sign up HERE! 😊 If you miss out on the beta test, don't worry. The game will be fully released this spring! Oh my, that’s so soon! Oh, and what a surprise, Passpartout 2 was awarded Best Visual Art at the Taipei Game Show!! We are extremely excited to have been chosen for this award out of more than 170 amazing games from all over the world. We’d like to say 'Thank You!' to everyone in the community who has stuck with us making our weird little games. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/b4eb1907b0c68604016dc29bb74989c4bdb7889c.png //Papa Mattias

Bonjour et bonne année 🍷🥖 Today we have two exciting things to share. We’re planning an exclusive closed beta test. The idea is that we’ll randomly select from our Newsletter subscribers to get the opportunity to check out the latest version of the game‼️  *If you haven't already subscribed to our secret newsletter, sign up here > https://www.passpartoutgame.com. Our hope is that you’ll try to break the game in every way you can imagine and help let us know what mischievous things you accomplished so we can get rid of them before release. But if you just want to chill out in the game that’ll be totally fine as well ☕️ Secondly, I wanted to share some nice progress we’ve been making. It’s called Bull Street and its money-loving residents will hopefully find their way into your heart, or at least your wallet. These business people are on the lookout for clever art investments as well as needing an artist’s hand with various business ventures💰 The main reason I wanted to show off Bull Street is this awesomely endearing heavily trafficked road. JUST LOOK AT THE CUTE CARS GOING VROOM🚙🚗🚕! Uh, anyways, more info about the closed beta will come when we’re ready. The current plan is to run the Beta sometime in February, so stay tuned! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/a4cd6df975f8c3cdbd17bb37df24ac832e4512dc.gif In the meantime, take care and have a good one, //Papa Mattias

Bonjour my fellow artists!🍷🥖 The Winter Holidays are approaching and the Flamebait team will soon take a bit of a break☃️. Personally I’m most excited about the baby-sized Santa's elf outfit my daughter will be wearing to melt her grandma’s heart🎅. Next year we’ll be back energized to finish up the game for you all! Today I bring you a Holiday gift, a bit of a secret snack if you will. It’s… ... THE COLOR MIXER!🎨 In the world you’ll find recipes for new color palettes that you feed into this marvelous machine. It’ll churn for a while until it’s ready, then popping out a new palette for you to enjoy! This means that you’ll be able to unlock several different palettes to find the one you love most! We’ve already shown a few of these palettes on our TikTok which you should totally follow if you’re hip ‘n cool. If there are any colors you’d love to see, please let me know in our Discord community. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41581837/75b726756c2ec0f51e1516a8ddc0902ed70ccb2b.png 🐷A pretty pig I made myself using the pastel color palette. Everything in the screenshot is work in progress and subject to change. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41581837/94b07481db069e615bbd26079ffdd54f6a6f728b.png I tried my best shading some sort of metallic ball using the monochrome palette. Everything in the screenshot is a work in progress and subject to change. That’s all for this month. I wish you all the best and a lovely Winter Holiday🎄 //Papa Mattias

Bonjour my fellow artists🍷🥖 This is a bit of a personal one. Sometimes it’s easy to forget when looking at something from the outside that there are actual people making games. People with their own lives with ups and downs. While I try to be consistent I also run into the unexpected. And this time the unexpected put a bit of a delay in writing the post 📨 The unexpected this time was something wonderful. My wife and I finally welcomed our first daughter to the world🌍✨. Trust me that I’m practising great restraint in not filling this post with cute baby pics (because dang, she cute). I’m trying to hold off on sharing pics of her online since, well, she can’t consent quite yet. But! What about the game?! What’s going on with Passpartout?! Rest easy! While I’ve been away for a short while I’m now back and the rest of the team has been taking great care of the game in the meantime. For those who missed it, we finally revealed that the Passpartout 2 release window is in spring next year! So hopefully you’ll finally be able to get your hands on the game soon! Until next time I leave you with a teaser for one of our new characters. Meet Flash, our radical jokester⚡️. Arguably the funniest in the punk gang - if you love tired dad jokes or infuriating puns that is. Speaking of dad jokes I feel I have to practice now, I mean, it’s every dad’s duty to embarrass their kid with bad puns, right? {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/7e0fdba07fb4128143bcd9d7b661eb652fbc1040.gif Take care and have a good one, Mattias

My name is Kalle and I’ve been spending the last six months as an intern at Flamebait Games and I can tell you… while hacking this newsletter… that the Flamebait crew is a bunch of crazy wild cats and has no limits whatsoever... I’m telling you this because it needs to come out. Telling the truth is my new life goal. Prior to this, it wasn’t. I was a storyteller working with film, books and music - telling made-up stories all day long. Late in life, I found a way into the gaming industry and applied for an internship at Flamebait with the aim to expose them. To unveil their secrets. Because it has to be something, right? And wow… I mean WOW😲! First of all, as an intern, you expect to get simple tasks like making coffee, sorting papers, and maybe hosting an Instagram account for a week or two. Flamebait… made me work! I’ve been forced to make character designs, and quests and write narratives and dialogues from day one. I hosted game tests and analyzed the results. They are actually listening to what I have to say and are, at this very moment, implementing my designs into Passpartout 2. I am an intern, for christ's sake! Yes, I’ve been writing professionally for 20 years but still: an intern! Why don’t they want my coffee ☕️? I have broken the game several times - no punishment! I have on one occasion accidentally knocked a glass of water out of the lead artist's hand without retaliation. They are suspiciously kind. Or simply decent human beings🤔. Anyways - I guess you knew this already. What a lousy whistleblower I would be if I didn't disclose anything new. So I made a screen recording of me testing out our new tools🎨, making a self-portrait exclusively for you. I don't know what kind of trouble I will endure for unveiling this. If they choose the Flamebait way… they probably will offer me a job or something… {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/9711a25f2a31805b7c95672c76f9b21fe6a30cf6.gif On a more serious note, I would like to say that I am super proud of being part of this game and I hope that my involvement added a nice flavour to Passpartout 2. You’ll soon be able to see for yourselves. Yours sincerely Kalle Carmback, Game Design intern.

Bonjour my fellow artists🍷🥖 It’s been a while since the last one. First, the team took a well-deserved break for summer and after that, I was away in Germany for Gamescom and Korea for Busan Indie Connect! Busy times, but so much fun!! Showing the game in Korea was a joy beyond what we could’ve ever imagined. We were met with such warmth and kindness and got to hear a few personal stories from playing the first game that truly moved us. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth and tried the game! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/b4defbb3350da5731e5cd68f8ae4158e36ce191e.png In other exciting news, we got nominated for “Excellence in Art🏆”! No, win for us this time around but we’re super happy just to be on the radar with our cute puppet vibes! Though I have to say that the “Excellence in Art” should really be awarded to some of our players. Next time around I’ll be showing you some of our new tools we got cooking. In the meantime, I want to show you a huge addition to the game you’ve been dreaming of since you got to lay your hands on the demo. This feature is a game changer that can truly spin your world 🌀 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/635fba55b531cc68500b762cf05c072554093d6e.gif Until next time, happy painting! /Mattias

Bonjour our fellow artists!🥖🍷 First of all, thank you so much for checking out the demo❤️! Your feedback and good vibes have given us mountains of energy to keep on cracking away at the game! The one thing we were most excited about for the demo was of course to see all the art you cool cats would create. And oh my, you did not let us down! I was thinking I’d share some of my favourite paintings.🖼 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/fa2fedadebbd3f31d983c2e4e94c5f4f186accb8.png I’m sure there’s plenty that I’ve missed, so why don’t you head over to Discord and share your art so that I can stare at it in pure amazement and awe. Also, a quick note that we’ll be heading off for summer vacation so the team will be a bit quiet for a few weeks🌻. The Flamebait gang wishes you a lovely summer! I’d recommend picking up a piece of paper and a pen and just doodling away in the lovely sun☀️. Or, at least that's what I’ll do🎨! /Mattias

Bonjour, fellow artists 🎨🍷 Gah! It’s finally time! We’re beyond hyped for you to finally get your hands on a demo of the game. It's available for you to try out from today, June 13th @10AM PDT until the 20th! So, check it out while you can! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/9ef89b0ac5f1d8d15a9d1a9d3b5544ed3ff93187.png During the event, Mattias (Game Director) and Bengan (Animator) will do a developer live streaming for Passpartout 2: The Lost Artist today (June 13th) at 10 am PDT/ 7 pm CET on Steam. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/78564d32092ee24076a52ddc25dc84e28d1aaf1d.gif We hope you’ll have a blast with the demo! And please head over to our Discord and shout feedback. We’d love to hear what you think! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1571100/Passpartout_2_The_Lost_Artist/

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 🎉 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/a57016ee5bafe0727c228627f57c81e97a19884a.png 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/9ccbb1239df9cdab36e8e21aa44bfa1235ef74a0.png 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❤️ //Mattias

Bonjour my fellow artists!🥖🍷 We recently reached a milestone of 20 000 wishlists for Passpartout 2! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/6b732818a9d7422427ee0cbb759452e17fc5012b.png 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. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/dbc200ea9902866e90d46d54c50459be060411a8.gif Now it’s time to go back to the development dungeon. Thank you for tuning in and stay awesome! //Mattias

Come to watch a developer play Passpartout: The Starving Artist! //Bengan

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🥚! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/f301f47ee7dca8b957c4410f090fa352e4ec19e4.gif 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 (^_^;) {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/6ff533d85b034edbe2800655f8bb7886f20302a6.png //Mattias P.S. Do you speak Meowish language? then join our Discord and talk with ＠EmberCat🐈#9665

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!❤️ {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/350468e64217696954c98dc9021b9b2fb6270be3.gif / Flamebait dev team 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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/44f2c85da66cc304dbf451ce9e2db9e51b87ccf2.gif 🎨 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! /Mattias

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/92c2c784ddab8350c8978a61d2678b018b46b4b1.png 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🎨 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/c62a4d192ab4af03b6f541c4a806efb0668db915.gif

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! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/5a9ae67a73019377fca4c142cdf08c85aa3e63ca.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/f457643495ad2892cb55e7de246088344583a8d0.png 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!🥖 - Chris Join our Discord and let's talk more!

Heya👋 To get those sweet puppet vibes it's important for us to understand how big our little green fellow actually is. Bengan threw together a helpful AR demo that we wanted to share! Don't mind the corn and pea soup cans in the background. I guess that's just animator food or something that really helps you focus when perfecting the puppet mastery of their digital skeletons. So how big is Passpartout? Our little artist is about 18 centimetres! That is 7.08661417 imperial inches, 0,0036 Swedish stenkast, 0,573 German Rheinfuss or 6,65 French pouce. Whichever you prefer! Thanks for tuning in and I hope you all had a great summer☀️  /Mattias

Heya! I hope you're all having a great summer so far! The avid fan will recognize this fellow. It's George! He's back with an updated look and more intense emotions than ever. In Passpartout 2 you can expect to meet many familiar faces but also plenty of new ones! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/28422089/8e51f3cf9ab13de266a60db3a52ba3c6e58bbff1.gif P.S. It's a not-so-well-kept secret that I'm actually terrified of puppets. So don't send puppet GIF-s my way!! Luckily Gustav is doing a great job keeping them cute and wholesome so far! How do you like his new look? Let us know what you think in the Discord!  Have a sweet continued summer! /Mattias
