Description:
A while ago my 9-year-old daughter told me about a game she'd love to play: you're a cat with a little art studio, animals come in and order pictures, and you paint them for coins. So I made it for her. She loved it, and honestly I liked the concept so much myself that I decided to take it a bit further.
Artcat is a cozy pixel-art painting game. A client walks into your studio and shows you the picture they want. You paint it cell by cell with the paints you have, and you get paid by how closely it matches the order. A perfect match earns three stars and a very happy client. Between days you spend your coins on furniture to make your studio cozier. Every day brings new clients and bigger canvases.

Involvement: I'm the solo developer. I designed and built the game based on my daughter's idea, with a lot of help from AI tools, both for the code and the art. In the future I'm thinking about replacing the graphics with hand-made ones.
