Calling All Artists!

The Painter's Playground is a mashup of utility paint program with RPG-leveling up and clicker-inspired gameplay. While there is no fail state, there are certainly measures of success such as creating a painting that commands a high price in the online community, or owning a gallery of coveted works. Whether you are just someone who wants to doodle with a mouse or already have years of experience creating masterpieces with a drawing tablet - there is fun to be had creating and collecting in the zen coastal town of Painter's Port.Come visit Painter's Port. Stay awhile. You'll be glad you did.

  • With slow-burning clicker-inspired progress, you will be peeling away layers for dozens of hours.
  • Create works of digital 2D art using a multitude of tools, paints, and canvases. Gain recognition for your efforts through the online community through ‘thumbs up’ artwork appreciation votes and/or selling your work.
  • Manage your own gallery to ensure you have the most coveted collection of curated works; buy, sell, and vote on community-created works of art.
  • Earn Renown (XP) through painting idle clicker-style, and Bits (money) from gallery sales. Spend these currencies on permanent upgrades, a variety of canvases, new painting tools, paint colors, custom in-game menus, votes on your favorite paintings in The Community Harbor, and much more.
  • Invest Renown into progressing through 15 levels as a career artist. The unlock system caters to creative gamers that enjoy a slow-burning ‘lifestyle’ game.
  • Vie for the top spot in a multitude of categories on the leaderboards.
  • Enjoy the beautiful IRL hand-crafted oil painted world by renowned artist Russell Murray.

The Painter's Playground reviews and comments

Translated by
Microsoft from Deutsch
The Painter's Playground is really a very nice game with unique possibilities. There are two different ways to play it. It is possible to start a Career mode and earn experience points and gold, sell your own artwork in the online community and buy from other artists ' artworks. With the gold one can buy different canvases, different colors, brushes, artwork gallery squares, artwork sales places, backgrounds and painting tools. The second style of play is a kind of god mode with direct access to all colors and art supplies from the beginning. In the background is very pleasant guitar music/tones, the whole is loosened up or replaced by occasional sound of the sea and other everyday sounds. The game backgrounds are all together with real oil paintings and give the whole a nice atmosphere. The nice thing about it is if you can present your own piece of art to the community or sell it to someone. It's also nice to show the painted picture on your own profile under Artworks or share it in the Community Hub and see how others react. It is also possible to have your own gallery in the game and to exhibit your own or purchased works of art. Positive:-Create your own artwork-Career and God mode-Wide selection of colors, canvases, tools-many possibilities of interaction with other people-very nice backgrounds and-Game maker communicates with the players negative:-I have not noticed anything yet For 9.99 you get here a never-ending gaming experience:) German Review: The Painter's Playground is really a very nice Game with unique Possibilities.
