Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
It was a wilder time, with steam greenlight having its final submissions, and us here at Flamebait fresh out of university. It also was a time where Steam supported 32 bit applications for MacOS.
32-bit Mac has since become a thing of the past. None of our newer products include it, and it has at last become time to discontinue it from our very first release as well.
If you play on a Mac, don't worry. We still have the 64-bit version, which has been the norm for Mac devices for a decade at this point.
With that we bid farewell to our Mac 32-bit version. We will fondly remember your limited addressable space.
Thanks yet again LG Studios for localizing the game for us!
Happy Painting!
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!
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!
Opening up that configuration window and meticulously setting up the perfect resolution and nigh-redundant keybindings?
Eagerly pressing play with that yearning to paint on those minuscule canvases, only for it to trip itself up before the main menu shows, prompting the PC to shut down the game?
Are you one of many running an Intel Laptop not necessarily designed for gaming but capable of it?
Then this update is for you!
With the help of some very patient people reaching out to our support, we've identified the issue to a graphical problem with Intel integrated graphics.
As telling people to jam new hardware into their devices is pretty bad support practice, we've opted to update the game itself instead.
So what's the update?
It's a big one in a sense!
To fix the problem we have updated the game engine (from the ancient Unity 5.3.8 to 2019 LTS for those curious), so the game may prove more stable on other devices as well.
This will show as an impressive amount of Megabytes to download, but functionally the game is still the very same it used to.
The most significant change you might notice is that the initial config screen is gone (no longer supported by the engine), so now you configure resolution and quality in the settings menu in-game instead.
Note also that this update is strictly for PC at the moment. Mac will get some attention soon enough. ;)
Happy Painting!

It’s the spooky time of year and for Passpartout that means eerie pumpkins, crooked trees, and spoopy ghosts. We have updated the game with the following features, most of which will be available until Novemeber 7th:
- Spoopified environments! All locations in the game have recieved their fair share of spook.
- Unlockable hats! Like getting dressed up? Now you can acquire all sorts of headwear!
- New customer! We figured ghosts are really scary so we added a bunch of them to the game! Might have been a mistake though… They are a little too chilling.
- Cloud saving!
- New scary music to go with everything else!
*brzzzzttt*

Lanterns sometimes appear really bright... I mean it’s not actually that strange, since that is their only purpose and all, but I just wanted to let you all know that I do actually find them incredibly ominous. One thing that is also worth saying, regarding bright things, is that I definitely don't fancy kind skeletons, like what's the point with a spoopy skellington if it’s nice to you? Stupid.
It’s time once again for a stew! What ingredients shall I use this year?? I’m considering some nutmeg! It does go quite well with human eyes…
That was odd sorry about that haha. I really need to focus my attention more properly in the future. Hugo is going to be furious! Oh no that’s not his name… Oh yes it’s Voidwalker, that was silly of me, excuse my manners!
Lately it’s been a little dark outside, I wonder what causes this behaviour. Although I actually like to use THIS ETERNAL VOID OF CHARCOAL BLACKNESS for my prasied and award-winning academic studies!
Forgive me, I usually don't go off track like this. Most times when I try to es... I mean, when I try to infiltrate video game source files! Most times when I do that, I can focus much and ... THE FINAL LETTERS ARE "E" AND "S" *brrttzz*
