wow, that's pretty and sounds really interesting

Duane Cunningham · Feb 9, 2016

Throw that Shade my way. The game looks beautiful.

Vyrance · Feb 9, 2016

This looks really good. Definitely interested in this

Weetrick · Feb 9, 2016

Gorgeous. I'll keep this on my radar.

hushlorentz · Feb 9, 2016

Interesting. Currently working through The Witness and I'm down with more exploration focused games.

Baroquemantic · Feb 9, 2016

This looks really, really cool. I hope it turns out well. Wish it was third person, though.

TheCowboyPoet · Feb 9, 2016

Give it to me now!

TickleMeElbow · Feb 9, 2016

Looks dope.

I played Everyone's Gone to the Rapture because I liked the idea of it, but the lack of actual shit to do eventually started to piss me off.

This one looks much better.

ced · Feb 9, 2016

Damn that looks and sounds neat.

Chambers35 · Feb 9, 2016

That looks and sounds really interesting. I'll check out the trailer later

Thanks for the heads up!

majik13 · Feb 9, 2016

so you shoot paint and throw paintings at people? I'm in.

m360 · Feb 9, 2016

Wow, looks fantastic ... I'm in!

Jpope · Feb 9, 2016

This game looks aesthetically pleasing.
I just wish this had some sort of active involvement in the game like puzzles or something to keep me interested. The canvas tool looks really cool.

Actual dialogue from an NPC: Why, yes, noble traveler! I am quite satisfied with your artistic interpretation of that coconut tree. With its two giant coconuts, its untrimmed bushy leaves and its mighty, throbbing, thick trunk! I will give you four golds for this exquisite painting.

Word of your talent has spread far. Now venture off to the castle, there you will find a princess who has become quite fond of your paintings of rueben sandwiches!

This is not what I was expecting.

Looks like something I could really kick back and relax with for a change of pace.

Hyperbole · Feb 10, 2016

Looks really nice. Tell me more

YaBish · Feb 10, 2016

Obviously this is early days yet, but I hope the devs put a lot of emphasis into how the paintings are rated. Things like balance, tonal value, composition, etc... could increase the monetary value of your painting. Maybe that's a pipe dream, but a working art collectors/critics economy would be amazing!

Also hoping that there are multiple styles of paintings available. Gimme some of that impressionistic goodness

Feichaw · Feb 10, 2016

That's a very beautiful game.

SirBukkake · Feb 10, 2016

I am very very interesting in this game! I'll be sure to keep up with its progress.

iNvid02 · Feb 12, 2016

read it as eatshade first and thought what a weird name for a picturesque painter, looks very relaxing

Searched the forums and couldn't find the OT.

I'm currently playing this game and it's just great !
It's a 3D adventure game done right. I wish King's Quest 8 was done like this.

Really beautiful meditative game that feels like the pacifistic version of Skyrim - exploration and quests with the interesting story.
The world is strange, but believable and you progress naturally opening areas as a result of doing some quests.

P.S. I also get some Lost Eden vibes from this game - I guess nice sceneries (LE had very nice for the time) and beautiful music.

Try it if you like adventure games and exploration. It's magical !

This looks awesome. We need more open worlds that are small and dense rather than vast and shallow. Gimme a world where everything feels handcrafted and digestible, rather than vast swathes of empty terrain with stupid wildlife that you shoot for crafting materials.

yurqqa · Nov 5, 2020

It's in Gamepass now.

Just try it - it's really great and relaxing !
