Unleash your creativity with **ArtClash**, the innovative platform designed to foster daily drawing, sketching, and cartooning. ArtClash is not just another drawing app like Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter. It's a unique work in progress, crafted to inspire daily artistic practice and share your creations with others.
ArtClash is a passion project, created by a single developer for personal use and to encourage others to hone their skills every day. With the first game completed and more on the horizon, ArtClash invites you to dive into the world of artistic challenges and community interaction.
Current Features:
- Paint: Enjoy the freedom to sketch, paint, and blend colors to your heart's content.
- Import Images: Use reference images or paint directly over them to enhance your creations.
- Challenging Topics: Select from various topics or series of topics, with optional constraints like time limits, color restrictions, or canvas sizes. Earn points when others guess your artwork correctly!
- Difficulty Levels: Choose from 6 levels of difficulty, ranging from single-word topics to combinations of up to 5 different words (nouns, verbs, places, time periods).
- Constraints: Opt for additional challenges such as time limits, color limits, or canvas size restrictions to earn extra points.
- Free Drawing: Draw anything you desire and share your masterpieces with the community.
- NSFW Flag: Control your content exposure with the ability to view or hide images marked as NSFW.
Early Access Issues/Bugs:
- Ugly UI: The current Unity UI is being redesigned. A switch to XAML is planned for a more responsive and visually appealing interface.
- Performance: For optimal performance on lower-end devices, keep canvas sizes under 1024x1024. The GPU-accelerated brush engine may slow down with larger canvases and small brushes. Performance tests in other engines are underway to enhance speed.
Upcoming Features:
- New games, starting with a "telephone" drawing game.
- Enhanced social features including avatar changes, comments on projects, and the ability to friend and follow others.
- Improved UI and a faster brush engine to address current issues.
- Advanced tools like marquee selection and transform tools.
- Expansion of brush options, allowing users to add and share their own brush textures.
- An enhanced layer system with features like locking transparent pixels and masking.
- A developer communication system for feature requests, bug reports, and community voting on future updates.
- Introduction of moderators to manage flagged content and maintain community standards.
- User-submitted topics and constraints, moderated for inclusion.
- Future plans for full image editing, animation, scripting, and game/storyboard prototyping.
While ArtClash currently focuses on social competition and encouragement rather than comprehensive image editing due to performance limitations with large textures, it's poised to grow into a robust creative platform. Join us on this artistic journey and see where your creativity takes you with ArtClash!
