ArtClash - Paint Draw & Sketch

Paint, draw, and share your creations with others! ArtClash is currently in early access, with much more to come.

We're not Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter. We are ArtClash.

ArtClash is designed to inspire daily drawing, sketching, and cartooning practice.

The first game is complete, but this is a work in progress with more features on the way. You can free draw, select a topic or series of topics, choose optional constraints (like time limits, color palettes, or canvas size), create your artwork, and earn points if others guess your drawing correctly!

This is a solo project, created for my wife and me to practice daily, and to encourage others to join us.

Current Features:

• Paint, sketch, and blend
• Import images for reference or as a base for your artwork
• Participate in themed challenges with constraints for bonus points
• Six difficulty levels for topics, ranging from single words to phrases of up to five words (nouns, verbs, places, time periods)
• Three constraint options for extra points: time, color palette, or canvas size
• Free drawing with sharing capabilities
• NSFW flagging for content filtering

Current Early Access Issues/Bugs:

• UI Improvements Needed: The Unity UI is currently being overhauled for a more user-friendly and responsive XAML-based interface.
• Performance Optimization: For optimal performance on lower-end devices, please keep canvases under 1024x1024 pixels. The brush engine is GPU-accelerated but can slow down significantly with large canvases and small brushes. We are actively testing performance in other engines to improve this.

Upcoming Features:

• Additional games (starting with a drawing-based "telephone" game)
• Enhanced social features (customizable avatars, commenting, friend lists, following)
• Improved UI and faster brush engine (addressing the issues listed above)
• Marquee selection and transform tools
• Expanded brush library (support for custom brushes will be added)
• Advanced layer system (including features like locking transparent pixels and masking)
• Developer communication system (feedback, bug reporting, feature voting)
• Moderator system for content moderation
• Community-submitted topics and constraints (after moderation)
• Future expansion to include full image editing, animation, scripting, and game/storyboard prototyping.

Due to current performance limitations with large textures and the lack of advanced editing features, ArtClash is not intended as a full image editing suite. Its focus is on social competition and creative encouragement.
