Release Notes for Passpartout: The Starving Artist

Update 1.7.5 (17 March 2021)

Courtesy of LG Studios, Passpartout and their paint addled friends now speak Turkish! Now like never before you can navigate those menus to start a "Yeni Kariyer". So, if you ever wanted to get critiqued in Turkish, now's your chance!

Thanks yet again LG Studios for localizing the game for us!

Happy Painting!

Update (5 Feb 2021)

Heya!

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!

Update (11 December 2020)

For those who like keeping track, recently a PC update featuring stability improvements hit Steam with a promise of a Mac followup. After a bit of elbow grease, it's now ready for release!

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!
