Application Description:
ArtClash: Unleash Your Inner Artist – A Daily Drawing Challenge!
ArtClash isn't Sketchbook, Photoshop, Procreate, or Infinite Painter. It's something entirely new. Currently in early access, ArtClash is a unique drawing app designed to inspire daily creative practice, focusing on sketching, painting, and cartooning. Think of it as a fun, social competition to improve your skills.
One game is currently available, with more on the way. You can freehand draw, tackle themed challenges (with adjustable difficulty levels from single-word prompts to complex five-word scenarios), and add optional constraints (time limits, color palettes, canvas size) for extra points. Earn points when others correctly guess your creations!
This is a solo project, built to help my wife and me maintain a daily drawing habit, and to extend that motivation to others.
Current Features:
- Versatile Painting Tools: Sketch, paint, and blend with ease.
- Image Import and Tracing: Use reference images or paint directly over them.
- Themed Challenges: Participate in drawing challenges, earn points for correct guesses.
- Adjustable Difficulty: Six levels of challenge, from single words to five-word prompts.
- Optional Constraints: Boost your score with time, color, or canvas size limitations.
- Free Drawing and Sharing: Create and share your artwork with the community.
- NSFW Filtering: Control your viewing experience with an NSFW filter.
Early Access Notes:
- UI Improvements: The current UI is undergoing a significant overhaul for improved responsiveness and aesthetics.
- Performance Optimization: For optimal performance on lower-end devices, please keep canvases under 1024x1024 pixels. Future engine updates will address performance with larger canvases and brushes.
Planned Features:
- New Game Modes: "Telephone" drawing game is next on the list.
- Enhanced Social Features: Avatars, comments, friend lists, and follow functionality.
- Improved UI/UX and Brush Engine: Addressing performance and usability issues.
- Advanced Tools: Marquee selection and transform tools.
- Expanded Brush Library: Support for custom brushes and community sharing.
- Advanced Layering: Features like locking transparent pixels and masking.
- Community Feedback System: Direct communication with developers for feature requests and bug reports.
- Moderation System: Community moderation for content review and issue resolution.
- User-Submitted Content: Community-driven topic and constraint submissions.
- Future Vision: Full image editing, animation, scripting, and game/storyboard prototyping capabilities.
Currently, ArtClash prioritizes social interaction and creative encouragement. While full image editing capabilities are planned, the focus remains on providing a fun and engaging platform for daily drawing practice.
