PAINTER BLAZER IS OUT RIGHT NOW ON NEWGROUNDS AND ITCH.IO!

Painter Blazer Itch.io page

Painter Blazer is a game I worked on for close to 2 years almost alone. You play as Blazer, rabbit who likes to paint, and your job is to paint all the walls to clear a level. It is an arcade-like game with 3 worlds, 15 levels, 3 bosses and a hub. It would mean the world to me if you would rate and play the game.

Where is Painter Blazer? Today is the day isn't it?

PAINTER BLAZER WILL BE OUT IN 2 HOURS

Here is the box art for the game. I'll post the trailer once the game is out.

That's right

JANUARY 5TH 2025

Is the release date for Painter Blazer on Newgrounds and Itch.io.

For those who don't know what Painter Blazer is. It's a video game I have worked on for almost 2 years now. It is an arcade-like game about painting.

What I mean by last phase is the last phase of development.

Release trailer is DONE

Character renders are DONE

Itch.io page is DONE

The whole game is DONE

What is the last phase of development you may ask. Well you will see very soon.

Now as a recap here is all the renders so far:

Blazer

Bubbles

Spyke

Beet

Spyker

Oozzy

Haunty

Bucket Boi

Nuke

And three mystery characters

My old laptop has been pretty messy for the past months. It started to blue screen during boot up, would not shut off safely and overall being very slow and unusable at times. While other times it worked without issues.

So I got a new laptop now. Lenovo LOQ (or something like that). I've gotten it setup with all my important stuff from my last laptop and ao far it's been very nice. Only now I'm realising how much of a difference a 144hz screen is to a 60hz one.

For the nerds out there these are the specs

• AMD Ryzen 7 7435HS
• 24Gb of RAM
• 512Gb SSD (old laptop had 1Tb so that is a downgrade)
• Nvidia GeForce RTX 4050

Shout out to @Glitchbuddy for teaching me about computers.

Now small life update. College has been killing me and especially my drive to male art recently. This thing that I have there requires me to draw a lot and it generally made me have a burn out. But on the 13th of December it's over and I can do art only for me again.

The picture on the laptop screen is from Painter Blazer release trailer. We are getting very very close.

Getting closer. Here is a look at 7 of the character renders.

Bubbles

Beet

Oozzy

Haunty

Bucket Boi

Nuke

I've been thinking about changing the current Painter Blazer plans a bit.

In the last Painter Blazer devlog I mentoined that I started working on an animated trailer for the game. Well about that. Animation takes time what a shocker and my idea was too ambitious to do as of now. The animation is NOT scrapped however. What little I have managed to make so far is pretty neat. The reason why I'm pushing back the animation is because it would delay the game way more than I like.

So the new plan is that I make a regular gameplay trailer since that is way quicker. I'm also making high quality drawings of each of the characters for the trailer, for myself and for others so there is more than just the sprites of the characters.

I've also been working on an Itch.io page for the game and that is almost done (only missing the trailer and more keyart).

I'm once again working on Painter Blazer at full force and as my main project. I want it to get it out for the public already.

Thanks for reading here is Bubbles' render as a reward.

Worker's Workshop Discord server invite link

I made a Discord server a while ago but never posted the link anywhere. It didn't feel like the right time but now I'm making it public.

Worker's Workshop is a public server focused on casual talking and sharing info and getting feedback about projects like art, games, animations or music. The recommended age to join is 16 mostly because of the humor that might happen there but you won't be kicked if you are younger than that.

I used to have a Discord server years ago but I really grew apart from it. It was way too me centered. This new one aims to be about everyone and everyone's projects.

Would be awesome to meet new people and make new connections.

Last development update maybe (possibly) (might not be)

The game is done. I finished creating it.

The game is already posted to Newgrounds and I have a desktop version ready to be released on Itch.io (or GameJolt if Itch.io doesn't work out).

What have I been up to?

MEDALS

Medals are working in the game. There is 3 more secret ones that aren't shown because they are well a secret.

COINS HAVE A PURPOSE

Coins were a thing in the SAGE 2024 demo but they didn't do anything. Now they have a bit of replay value and gives medals on Newgrounds.

BUG FIXING AND POLISHING

I've been fixing a bunch of bugs and I've been adding a lot of polishing to it. Now there is a simple fade to black screen transition effect for example. Some level designs and bosses have been improved a bit since the SAGE 2024 demo.

Why isn't the game out?

The game is done like I mentoined but it isn't out just yet. I have had the idea of animating a launch or release date trailer. The voice lines for it have been made months ago by @Nebulate and have just been sitting around until I start the animation. I'll start it this weekend.

RELEASE DATE

While I don't have a proper release date in mind I would love to get the game out before the end of the year. I won't promise any date but I am for this year.

Development paused

Yes this game's development was on a little break. It wasn't completely paused but I was working on it less. It's because I got the very smart idea to join a game jam and make Twigi's Twisted Costumes. But now I'm back on this at full force. I gotta get it done.

Our game made it to daily 2nd place! Even though it says my name it was also made by @Nebulate and @Creepeeforce24
