A first-person artist sim set in 2130, where paint mixes and dries like the real thing and the whole space studio is your canvas. Take commissions, sell your work, upgrade your rooms, and cover the walls in color. Nobody grades your art, so a flamethrower masterpiece counts exactly as much as it should.

Different Strokes
A collaborative painting game set in an endless art gallery. Paint on blank canvases, edit other players' finished work, and rate what you find. Every picture on the walls was made live by someone else, and some of it is genuinely good. Some of it is a smiley face painted over someone's hour of work. Both are part of the fun.
