Paint, draw, and share your creations with the world. ArtClash is currently in early access, with more exciting features on the horizon.
We are not Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter. We are ArtClash.
ArtClash is designed to inspire daily practice in drawing, sketching, and cartooning.
As a work in progress, the first game is complete, and we're eagerly working on more.
You have the freedom to draw anything you like, or you can select a topic or series of topics, apply optional constraints such as time limits, color limits, or canvas size, create your artwork, and earn points when others guess it correctly!
This project is a labor of love, created by one person for my wife and me to practice daily, and to encourage others to do the same.
Current Features:
- Paint: Sketch, paint, and blend with ease.
- Import Images: Use them as references or paint over them.
- Topics and Constraints: Choose topics, apply constraints, draw, and earn points for each correct guess.
- Difficulty Levels: Six levels ranging from single words to up to five different words (nouns, verbs, places, timer periods).
- Constraints for Extra Points: Time, colors, or canvas size.
- Free Draw: Create anything you want and share it with the community.
- NSFW Flag: Option to view images marked as NSFW.
Current Early Access Issues/Bugs:
- Ugly UI: The Unity UI has been challenging. We plan to switch to XAML for a better, more responsive interface.
- Performance on Large Canvases: Keep canvases under 1024x1024 on lower-end devices. The GPU-accelerated brush engine slows down with large canvases and small brushes. We're testing other engines to improve performance.
Upcoming Features:
- More Games: Starting with a "telephone" game using drawings.
- Social Features: Change avatars, add comments to projects or games, friend and follow others.
- Improved UI and Brush Engine: Addressing the current bugs.
- Marquee Selection and Transform Tools: For more precise editing.
- More Brushes: Support for any brush texture, with options to add and share custom brushes.
- Enhanced Layer System: Including the ability to lock transparent pixels and use masks.
- Developer Communication System: A feedback system for feature requests, bug reports, and voting on future changes.
- Moderators: Community members can be promoted to moderate flagged content and handle issues.
- Topic and Constraint Submissions: Users can submit topics and constraints for moderation and inclusion.
- Full Image Editing, Animation, Scripting, and Game/Storyboard Prototyping: Coming in future updates.
While ArtClash currently faces performance issues with large textures and lacks full editing features, it's optimized for social competition and encouragement, not as a comprehensive image editing suite.
