Passpartout: The Starving Artist
Now featuring Turkish delight!
Thanks yet again LG Studios for localizing the game for us!
Happy Painting!
A Linux Update!
We were made aware of an issue on Linux systems where the mouse cursor would go invisible after finishing a painting. As this is less than ideal when you want to... you know... click on things, we're addressing that with this patch:
Changes:
- New dazzling cursor for the game to entice the Linux OS to switch back to it
- Fixed the painting brush cursor not correctly rendering in negative on Linux system
The new cursor has also been added for all other operating systems since we love all of you equally and don't want to play favorites.
Happy Painting!
The Mac Update!
Patch Notes:
- Updated the game engine, shoring up the occasional quirk the game might've had
- Got with the times and committed to 64-bit version. 32-bit versions will no longer be available.
- Replaced incompatible shaders with new ones. They were getting rusty anyways.
- Patched up any other graphical errors
This will ensure the game keeps running for you all in the foreseeable future on current devices. As for future devices running the new line of processor chips, that's a problem for future us to tackle.
Happy Painting!
PC Update - Now works on all Laptops!
Opening up that configuration window and meticulously setting up the perfect resolution and nigh-redundant keybindings?
Eagerly pressing play with that yearning to paint on those minuscule canvases, only for it to trip itself up before the main menu shows, prompting the PC to shut down the game?
Are you one of many running an Intel Laptop not necessarily designed for gaming but capable of it?
Then this update is for you!
With the help of some very patient people reaching out to our support, we've identified the issue to a graphical problem with Intel integrated graphics.
As telling people to jam new hardware into their devices is pretty bad support practice, we've opted to update the game itself instead.
So what's the update?
It's a big one in a sense!
To fix the problem we have updated the game engine (from the ancient Unity 5.3.8 to 2019 LTS for those curious), so the game may prove more stable on other devices as well.
This will show as an impressive amount of Megabytes to download, but functionally the game is still the very same it used to.
The most significant change you might notice is that the initial config screen is gone (no longer supported by the engine), so now you configure resolution and quality in the settings menu in-game instead.
Note also that this update is strictly for PC at the moment. Mac will get some attention soon enough. ;)
Happy Painting!

The horse head hat
Spooky ghost
We figured ghosts are really scary so we added a bunch of them to the game! Might have been a mistake though… They are a little too spine-chilling.
Scary, really scary...Scary environments
All locations in the game have received their fair share of spooky.
